In 1988 Irish singer Enya released the break-through single Orinoco Flow (which is often incorrectly referred to as "Sail Away," a phrase repeated during the chorus). In 1998 a special edition 10th anniversary remix single was released. The song was highly popular in the early ’90s and was featured on many pop music compilations. The song "Out Of The Blue" was also released as "Portrait (Out Of The Blue)" on other albums.

The introduction lyrics of "Orinoco Flow":

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

While the division of syllables to follow the pattern of music may trick the listener into thinking that the song is written in Latin, as many Enya tracks are, the lyrics are in fact English.
