Enya Someone Said Goodbye

Someone Said Goodbye

Information Notes Written By Eithne Ní Bhraonáin (Enya) Producer Nicky Ryan Lyrics Roma Ryan Studio Aigle Studios Language English Track Time 4:02 Copyright © 2005 Warner Music Intl. The track has also been released as a remixed promotional version. The remix has the same lyrics and duration as the original. It begins with a modified organ introduction, but the major difference is an additional percussion track with light cymbal, snare drum rim, and kick drum work. There is also a small recorder accompaniment during each chorus. The whole track has much more treble content than the original, increased as much as 10dB from about 5KHz up, and slightly reduced bass.

Lyrics Summer. When the day is over there's a heart a little colder; someone said goodbye, but you don't know why. Somewhere there is someone keeping all the tears they have been weeping, someone said goodbye, but you don't know why. Is there a reason why a broken heart begins to cry? Is there a reason you were lost although you don't know why? Give me a reason why you never want to say goodbye. If there's a reason, I don't know why. Always looking for a meaning, all the time you keep believing, but I don't know why you won't say goodbye. Even when the sun is shining you don't see the silver lining, but I don't know why you won't say goodbye. Is there a reason why a broken dream can never fly? Is there a reason you believe and then you close your eyes? Give me a reason why you hide away so much inside. If there's a reason, I don't know why. Is there a reason why a broken heart begins to cry? Is there a reason you were lost although you don't know why? Give me a reason why you never want to say goodbye. If there's a reason I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why.

A Japanese promotional issue contains what appears to be an early version of this track under the title "Only If You Want To". It does not include the French lyrics. In the first verse, instead of "you follow the sun", "you reach for the sun" is sung.

Lyrics Translation (French Verse) 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. 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 (Ooh go doe bay mwa.) (Ooh go doe bay mwa.) Chorus Ah! Je voudrais voler comme un oiseau d'aile Ah! Je voudrais voler comme un oiseau d'aile, d'aile... (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. Ah!

Cool waves wash over And drift away with dreams of youth So time is stolen I cannot hold you long enough. And so this is where I should be now Days and nights falling by Days and nights falling by me. I know of a dream I should be holding Days and nights falling by Days and nights falling by me. Soft blue horizons Reach far into my childhood days As you are rising To bring me my forgotten ways. Strange how I falter To find I'm standing in deep water Strange how my heart beats To find I'm standing on your shore.

Information Notes Written By Eithne Ní Bhraonáin (Enya) Producer Nicky Ryan Lyrics Traditional Studio Aigle Studios Language Gaelic Track Time 3:44 Copyright © 1988 Warner Music Intl. Also released as Oíche Chiúin. The title is spelled "Oíche Chiún" on most issues but has also appeared as "Oíche Chiúin", which appears to be the correct translation of "Silent Night". On a Taiwanese promo release of Paint The Sky With Stars this song is misspelled in German "Stille Nache". Oíche Chiún is an Irish language version of the traditional Christmas carol Silent Night. In addition to the listings below the track also appears on some Japanese issues of Paint The Sky With Stars. Nicky Ryan has stated that the main vocals for this song were taken on the first try - clocking the song's production time to about one hour. A phonetic pronunciation: "Eee-ha K-yoon".

Lyrics Translation 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. 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.

Information (Traditional, Austrian) Music: Franz Xaver Grüber (1787-1863) Lyrics (German): Fr. Josef Mohr (1792-1848) English translation: John Freeman Young (1820-1885) Originally written in German (�Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!�), this carol was heard for the first time at St. Nikolas Church in Oberndorf, Austria at Midnight Mass in 1818 performed by a choir and accompanied by guitar. A young German priest named Josef Mohr in Mariapfarr, Austria in 1816 wrote the original six stanzas as a poem. Austrian church organist and teacher Franz Grüber in Arnsdorf, Austria composed the music. According to popular history, the carol was first heard in America in 1839 in front of the Alexander Hamilton Monument across Trinity Church, New York City where as it was performed in German by Austrian traveling folk singers, the Rainer Family. The well-known English adaptation of the first three stanzas was translated by John Freeman Young (a Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Florida) in 1863 while serving as an assistant rector at Trinity Church. Young�s version was first published posthumously in Sunday School Hymnal (Buffalo: 1871), edited by Charles Lewis Hutchins (1838-?), an Episcopalian clergyman. Through the centuries the original English title (�Silent Night! Holy Night!�) has been gradually shortened to just "Silent Night" as it is well-known today.
