Storms In Africa (part II) (English)
Though I walk
through
warm sands in Africa
winds will grow soon
to storms in Africa.
How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way?
Dark skies fall on
black earth and ivory.
Far from your sun
clouds now close over me.
How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way?
Storms have come!
rains wash the earth away
Dark skies fall down
into another day.
Rains have now come
from storms in Africa
Time will go on
through storms in Africa
Oíche Chiún (Irish Gaelic)
Oíche chiúin,
oíche Mhic Dé,
Cách 'na suan dís araon.
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis
Naíon beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh.
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh.
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal.
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch.
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcéin.
Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin.
Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin.
'S Fagain Mo Bhaile (Irish Gaelic) (And I Leave My Home)
Maidin is tús an lae |
Morning and the day's beginning
Night and I am
alone
The end of the
long journey
The day is
long past |
Book of Days (Far & Away) (English)
One day, one
night, one moment
My dreams could be tomorrow
One step, one fall, one falter
East or west
Over earth or by ocean
One way to be my journey
This way could be my Book of Days
Ó lá go lá, mo thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras,
na scéalta nach mbeidh a choích'.
No day, no night, no moment
Can hold me back from trying
I'll flag, I'll fall, I'll falter
I'll find my day may be Far and Away
Far and Away
Interlude
One day, one night, one moment
With a dream to be leaving
One step, one fall, one falter
And a new earth across a wide ocean
This way became my journey
This day ends together, Far and Away
This day ends together, Far and Away
Far and Away

I May Not Awaken (English)
I May Not Awaken
When the warmth of the day becomes the night
Who could sleep beneath a strange moonlight?
No guiding star
So far from home
Walked the way o' promise to find but snow
Throughout, the voice of the winds brings nothing more
Than low echoes
So far from home
Even from a child
A wish is not enough
For me, for me the sky may fall
And even from a child
A dream is not enough
Could be, could be the sky may fall
Could be, could be the night ends all
No rains could weep as I have wept
To know a simple dream will not be kept
I am a child
So far from home
One by one the sky falls
I may not awaken...
Only If... (English & French)
When there's a shadow, you follow the sun
When there is love, then you look for the one.
And for the promises, there is the sky.
And for the heavens are those who can fly.
Chorus:
If you really want to, you can hear me say
Only if you want to will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Da da da da, da da da da da.
da da da da, da da da da da,
da da da da.
When there's a journey, you follow a star.
When there's an ocean, you sail from afar.
And for the broken heart, there is the sky.
And for tomorrow are those who can fly.
Chorus
Da da da da, da da da da da.
da da da da, da da da da da,
da da da da.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Chorus
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile,
d'aile...
(translation: although the grammar is fairly dodgy, you'd translate this like "Ah, I'll like to fly like a winged bird")
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Chorus
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Willows on
the Water
Instrumental: Keyboard and Strings
Paint The Sky With Stars (English)
Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars
Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Place a name upon the night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars.
The Promise
Instrumental: Piano
Can you hear the night's deep song
All the shadows say
Telling you when you're asleep
Tears will fade away
Dream of the morning's golden light
When you and I will leave the night
And when the moon is high and bright
Stars will shine on you
Dream of the morning's golden light
When you and I will leave the night
Make a wish and when you close your eyes
I will come to you
Dream of the morning's golden light
When you and I will leave the night
Make a wish and when you close your eyes
I will come to you
Midnight Blue
Instrumental: Piano
May It Be (English & Quenya*)
May it be an
evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utúlië
(darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the
shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utúlië
(darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
Aníron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen) (Sindarin*)
O môr henion i dhû
Tiro! Él eria
e môr |
From darkness I understand the night:
Look! A star
rises out of the darkness |
