ANTS' FAVORITE SONGS: STORMS IN AFRICA BY ENYA


A screen shot from its music video.
Part/Version 2


Original Irish Version:

Ca fhad e o
Ca fhad e o
Siul tri na stoirmeacha
Gabh tri na stoirmeacha

Ca fhad e o
Tus na stoirm
Ca fhad e
O tus go deireadh

Tog do chroi
Siul tri na stoirmeacha
Tog do chroisa
Gabh tri na stoirmeacha

Turas mor
Trom tri na Stoirmeacha

Turas fada
Amharc tri na stoirmeacha.


English Translation:

How long is it since
How long is it since
Walk through the storms
Go through the storms

How long is it since
The start of the storm
How long is it
From beginning to end

Lift your heart
Walk through the storms
Lift your heart!
Go through the storms

Great Journey
Heavy, through the storms

Long Journey
Look through the storms


Part/Version 2:

Though I walk through
warm sands in Africa
winds will grow soon
to storms in Africa.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way?

Dark skies fall on
black earth and ivory.
Far from your sun
clouds now close over me.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way?

Storms have come!
rains wash the earth away
Dark skies fall down
into another day.
Rains have now come
from storms in Africa
Time will go on
through Storms in Africa
