Orinoco Flow
In 1988 Irish singer Enya released the break-through single Orinoco Flow (which is often incorrectly named after its lyrics "sail away," which are repeated during the chorus). In 1998 a special addition 10th anniversary remix single was released. The song was highly popular in the early 90s, which 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
The song is infact English, but the dividing of syllables and words that follow the pattern of music may trick the listener into think he or she is listening to a Latin or other language song. Enya produces whole songs in Irish Gaelic, Latin, more commonly English, or a mixture of those.
