Cá fhad é ó
Cá fhad é ó
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha.
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha.
Cá fhad é ó
an tús don stoirm.
Cá fhad é ó
an tús go deireadh.

Tóg do Chroí.
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha.
Tóg do chroísa.
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha.

Turas mór.
Tor tríd na Stoirmeacha.
Turas fada.
Amharc tríd na Stoirmeacha

    (Translation:
    How far is it from?
    Walking through the storms
    Going through the storms

    How far is it from?
    The beginning of the storm
    The start to the end

    Take your heart
    Take your beloved

    Long Journey
    Heavy through the storm

    Long Journey
    Look through the Storm )

    General Comment:Actually, it's in Irish. Gaelic is a family of languages, it's sort of like saying we speak Germanic.

    General Comment:i think it's a about storm in africa (duh?!)....but in a metaphore.
    Africa, a dessert & dry country, isn't it always stormy and heavy when a rain come?because there's only small trees etc. But water is always a blessing in that dry area.

    Storm symbolize trouble or big problem..
    **
    Lift your heart
    Walk through the storms
    Lift your heart!
    Go through the storms
    **
    get through it, don't run from your problems. the she says "long journey, LOOK THROUGH the storm"
    look beyond your trouble, there'll be some solution. After the storm, the blessing of the water will be the success and your achievement, you know --mistake / trouble that don't kill you only makes you stronger--

    after the storm, maybe there will be a rainbow..right?
    i always think enya's song is so optimistic and inspiring..

    daz_spaz, thank you for the translation, does Storm in africa II have the same meaning with this song?

    what to say about enya.
    she is amazing.
    her music is amazing.
    it cuts right through to the core of you.
    im irish (although i dont live in ireland) and this song is an amazing take on traditionally irish songs.
    i agree with muzig on the meaning.

    General Comment:She also lives in Ireland doesn't she? Therefore, no one here should care whether she speaks english or not. If she was an immigrant, I could understand the protests against other languages, but she isn't one, so it doesn't matter. She sings beautifully in any language and that's all that matters.

    General Comment:she is not from this country, therefore, she just MIGHT speak a different language, i think enya is polylingual, so she speaks many different things. I know, I know, speak english! but, still its a very beautiful song, and Gaelic is a beautiful language, and Enya's music is one that is relaxing. that is a really stupid thing to be fighting about, so, just relax, and 'daz spaz' that is a beautiful translation, thank you so much

    General Comment:I think Enya is talking about the sufferings of the people in Africa...with the poverty, apartheid, starvation, and disease-ridden lands....these people are suffering, and she is giving them words of hope.
    what a beautiful message of hope and peace....
