一首多年前已聽過的旋律
縱然音韻常迴盪海中
但每次偶爾再遇上這熟悉的音調時
總是抓不住歌詞, 從而推敲她的芳名
今天, 憑著零碎的數個字詞
經過幾番嘗試, 終於在網海中覓著妳...

感動呢~

說的是Enya的Orinoco Flow
這首歌常出現在旅遊特輯之中
如畫的風景加上如此的背景音樂令人陶醉不已
也許你也曾聽過這首歌而不知道呢~

let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
da da, da da, da da, da da, da da

sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

da da, da da, da da, da da, da da

turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu

sail away...

from the North to the South, Ebuda into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

we can sail, we can sail, with the orinoco flow,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

we can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

we can reach, we can beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away...

作品來自Enya 的第二張album - Watermark (1988)
一如Enya的作風, 歌詞大概可說是融化於旋律中, 再加上其愛爾蘭口音
拿著歌詞來聽也有一定難度哩...
"sail away"一句
曾聽到的版本有"sail to where" "sail away" "sell away" "say to where" "say aware"...
well, 原來我也不算嚴重了
有人聽到"Save a whale" "Sale today"...
