Enya And Winter Came - "Journey of the Angels" song lyrics
Somewhere in a winter night the angels begin their flight;
dark skies with miles to go, no footsteps to be lost in snow.
They fly to you Oh, new-born king They fly to you Oh, angels sing
one is sorrow one is peace one will come to give you sleep
one is comfort one is grief one will take the tears you weep
New star in a midnight sky in heaven all the angels fly
soft wings so true and all things they will give to you
Somewhere in a winter night the angels begin their flight
Tonight all sing Oh, angels, a new-born king
Tonight all sing Oh, angels, a new-born king
Enya And Winter Came - "White is in the Winter Night" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Have you seen the mistletoe? It fills the night with kisses.
Have you seen the bright new star? It fills your heart with wishes.
Have you seen the candlelight? It shines from every window.
Have you seen the moon above? It lights the sky in silver.
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly,
silver in the stars above that shine on everybody.
Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers.
White is in the winter night that everyone remembers.
Have you heard the boys all sigh when all the girls are skating?
Have you heard the sweetheart's cry for all this time they're waiting?
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly,
silver in the stars above that shine on everybody.
Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers.
White is in the winter night that everyone remembers.
Have you seen the children playing? Tiny hands are frozen!
Have you seen them hurry home when suddenly it's snowing!
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly,
silver in the stars above that shine on everybody.
Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers.
White is in the winter night that everyone remembers.
Have you heard the bells are ringing, ringing out their story?
Have you heard the choir singing? Glory! Glory! Glory!
Enya And Winter Came - "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" song lyrics
Traditional
O come, O come, Emmanuel, to free your captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here until the son of god appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel to you shall come Emmanuel.
O veni, veni Emmanuel, Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio, privates Dei Filio.
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.
Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude!
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.
Enya And Winter Came - "Trains and Winter Rains" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
City streets passing by, Underneath stormy skies.
Neon signs in the night, Red and blue city lights.
Cargo trains rolling by, Once again someone cries.
Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home.
Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone.
Everytime, it's the same. One more night, one more train.
Everywhere empty roads, Where they go, no one knows.
Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home.
Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone.
Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home.
Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da...
Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home.
Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone.
Trains and winter rains, No going back, No going home.
Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone.
Enya And Winter Came - "Dreams Are More Precious" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Come! See! High above. Come! See! High in the heavens
a new star shining bright; out of the darkness comes a light.
Come! Hear midnight chimes. Come! Hear bells that are ringing
and from some distant shore sounds of a journey echo on.
This is the night, they say, everyone wants a dream.
This is the night, they say, nothing is as it seems.
Come! Sleep! Close your eyes. Come! Sleep! Give me your sorrow
and I'll keep watch for you until the dawn is breaking through,
until the morning wakens you.
Come! Dream through the night. Come! Dream, and then tomorrow
you'll see your heart will know dreams are more precious than gold.
Dreams are more precious than gold. Dreams are more precious than gold.
Enya And Winter Came - "Last Time by Moonlight" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
The winter sky above us was shining in moonlight,
And everywhere around us the silence of midnight.
And we had gathered snowflakes; remember
the soft light of starlight on snow.
Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way love goes.
Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way life goes.
We walked the road together one last time by moonlight,
as underneath the heavens the slow chimes at midnight,
but nothing is forever not even the starlight
at midnight not even the moonlight...
Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way love goes.
Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way life goes.
Enya And Winter Came - "One toy soldier" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
One toy soldier stands alone with his drum down by his side
One toy soldier on his own with his drum to keep the time
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true He's one small toy
for one small boy but his heart is oh, so blue.
Who can mend my broken drum? Will it be as good as new?
I must play when morning comes. If I don't, what shall I do?
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside while children sleep
in dreams so deep there's a secret he must hide.
For he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true He wants to sing
and hopes to bring Happy holidays to you.
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside Someone has come
To mend his drum Now his heart lights up with pride.
So, he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true When morning comes He plays his drum
Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you!
Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you!
Holidays are here again. Holidays are here again.
Holidays are here again. Holidays are here again.
Enya And Winter Came - "Stars and Midnight Blue" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Memories we share together Moments no one else can know
I will keep them close to me Never let them go
Once you filled my hands with roses Then you gave your heart to me
When a kiss had followed this Love was meant to be
Time goes by And the snow is drifting
Slowly in the sky Cold, cold night
As you lie beside me I can hear your heartbeat
You have lost yourself in dreaming I have lost myself in you
Now we lie beneath the sky Stars and midnight blue
Enya And Winter Came - "Christmas Day" song lyrics
So let the shadows go and drift away like snow
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day Tomorrow will be Christmas Day
So dream until the night Becomes the morning light
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day Tomorrow will be Christmas Day
Enya And Winter Came - "My My Time Flies" song lyrics
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
My! My! Time flies! One step and we're on the moon Next step into the stars
My! My! Time flies! Maybe we could be there soon A one way ticket to mars
My! My! Time flies! A man underneath a tree An apple falls on his head
My! My! Time flies! A man wrote a symphony It's 1812
My! My! Time flies! Four guys across Abbey Road One forgot to wear shoes
My! My! Time flies! A rap on a rhapsody A king who's still in the news
A king to sing you the blues
My! My! Time flies! A man in a winter sleigh White white white as the snow
My! My! Time flies! A new day is on its way So let's let yesterday go
Could be we step out again Could be tomorrow but then Could be 2010
Enya And Winter Came - "Oíche chiúin" song lyrics
Oíche Chiúin / Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Cach 'na suan, dís araon, / Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis,
Naíon beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh,
Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh, / Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, / Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal,
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch, / Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcein,
Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein, / Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic De, / Cach 'na suan, dís araon,
Dis is dílse 'faire le spéis, / Naion beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh,
Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh, / Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh.
Translation Silent Night
Silent night, night of God's son, / Everyone is asleep, the pair together.
The most faithful pair, watching with hope
A little baby, a mild and gentle child.
Christ, calmly asleep. / Christ, calmly asleep.
Silent night, night of God's son, / Shepherds were first to hear the tale.
The angels crying out Alleluia. / Lovely chanting near and far.
Christ, the saviour himself. / Christ, the saviour himself.
Enya And Winter Came - "Miraculum" song lyrics
o Semel canebamus / Fabulam magnae diei,
Lunae lucem in aqua / Litora, stellam, caelum.
Vela dare. / (o) Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero. / Semel salum
sub Hesperus / Ita vela dedimus.
In hodierna die / canimus albae nivis,
lunae lecem in gelu, / lacrima et pluvial.
Vela dare. / (o) Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero / Viatores
ecce caelum, / oceanus et terra!
Vela dare. / (o) Miraculum. / Vela dare. Vero / Ite! Ite!
Mare, mare / sub vespertine stella
Vela dare. / (o) Miraculum. / Vela dare. Vero / Et iam annus
vicesimus! / Tempus est somnium!
Vela dare. / (o) Miraculum. / Vela dare. Vero / Et fortasse
crastinus deis / vela dabimus. Vela
Vela dabimus. Vela / Vela dabimus. Vela
Translation ...A Wonderful Thing
Once we were singing / the story of a great journey
the moonlight on water, / the shores, a star, the sky.
To set sail, / a wonderful thing.
To sail away. It’s true. / Once, the open sea
under the evening star. / And so we sailed away.
In this day / we sing of the white snow
the moonlight on ice, / a tear and rain.
To set sail, / a wonderful thing.
To sail away. It’s true. / Wayfarers
see the sky, / the ocean and the earth.
To set sail, / a wonderful thing.
To sail away. It’s true. / Go! Go!
The sea, the sea / under the evening star.
To set sail, / a wonderful thing. / To sail away. It’s true.
For already it is the twentieth year! / Oh, time is a dream!
To set sail, / a wonderful thing. / To sail away. It’s true.
And perhaps / tomorrow / we will sail away. Sail away.
Enya And Winter Came video with lyrics Press Release
Two years in the making, expectations are understandably high for Enya's forthcoming album And Winter Came. The album's twelve songs are an atmospheric and enchanting evocation of the changing landscape of winter and the cheer that Christmas brings. Once again the album was recorded in their own studio and is the result of the longstanding creative triumvirate that was formed back in 1982 with producer/arranger Nicky Ryan and lyricist Roma Ryan.
At the outset And Winter Came was planned as a Christmas project but as the album began to take shape a broader seasonal theme soon became apparent. "I always wanted to do a Christmas album, but as we began recording I didn't feel it was right to impose a Christmas theme on certain songs," explains Enya.
Says Nicky "We started out writing for a Christmas album, but it has evolved into more an Enya album based in a winter landscape where Christmas arrives here and there, but it would be wrong to call it an Enya Christmas album." And Winter Came is nonetheless rich in delightful festive moments, not least the track White in is the Winter Night which Nicky describes as being "the kind of song you could hear at the Proms with everyone joining in, its has that kind of Christmassy vibe."
Enya's seventh studio album also contains two traditional Christmas songs, a soaring rendition of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and a new version of Silent Night (Oíche chiúin), a song Enya sings in Gaeilge that has proved hugely popular over the years. "It was exciting to re-live Silent Night because I sung that twenty years ago," enthuses Enya. "It is re-released every year in America and it was so nice to go back and do something different with it."
The new rendering of Oíche chiúin (Chorale) incorporates what Nicky describes as the "choir of one", a technique he first fully adopted during the recording of Watermark that finds Enya performing multi-layered vocals to create a mellifluous sea of harmonies. "I enjoy the process, I love the excitement of not knowing if it will work," admits Enya.
