過去幾年的年尾或年初, 我都會用恩雅的歌曲結尾或迎接元旦

今年也不例外

祝大家有個美好的２０１７

愛爾蘭新音樂天后［恩雅］的成名曲──英國榜冠軍──新世紀音樂經典──［Orinoco Flow／奧瑞諾可洋流］

 

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.

 

Sail away, sail away, sail away. [Repeat: x4]

 

From Bissau to Palau, in the shade of Avalon,

From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,

From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,

From Bali to Cali, far beneath the Coral Sea.

 

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu. Oh. [Repeat: x3]

 

Sail away, sail away, sail away. [Repeat: x4]

 

From the North to the South, Ebudæ into Khartoum,

From the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,

Carry me on the waves to the lands Ive never been,

Carry me on the waves to the lands Ive never seen.

We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco Flow,

We can sail, we can sail.

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

 

We can steer, we can near

With Rob Dickins at the wheel,

We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies

We can sail, we can sail

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

 

We can reach, we can beach,

On the shores of Tripoli,

We can sail, we can sail

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

From Bali to Cali, far beneath the Coral Sea,

We can sail, we can sail

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

From Bissau to Palau, in the shade of Avalon,

We can sail, we can sail

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

We can reach, we can beach,

Far beyond the Yellow Sea,

We can sail, we can sail

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,

We can sail, we can sail.

(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

We can sail, we can sail.

 

Sail away, sail away, sail away. [Repeat: x5]

１９８７年  ２６歲的愛爾蘭歌手恩雅（Enya）與華納唱片簽下合約

後者給予她在創作上的自由

１９８８年９月　２６歲的她發行第二張大碟［Watermark］

恩雅找來長期伙伴──經紀人／編曲人Nicjy Ryan製作

後者妻子Roma Ryan與她共同合寫

他們先在愛爾蘭作了試唱帶, 在於倫敦重新混音／製作

專輯融合凱爾特（Celts）與新世紀樂風──雖然恩雅覺得自己跟後者無關

［Watermark］推出後便受到高度評價

 

首支主打選了［Orinoco Flow／奧瑞諾可洋流］

歌名的Orinoco指得是恩雅灌錄歌曲的錄音室之名

這首新世紀歌曲節奏輕盈有層次感

恩雅剔透的嗓音與豐潤的合音將此曲裝飾得曼妙迷人

此曲發行後立刻受到歡迎, 在秋天登上英國單曲榜后座三週　賣出２５萬張＋, 拿到銀唱片　故鄉愛爾蘭也奪冠　

另外荷蘭／瑞典／瑞士冠軍　德國冠軍　紐西蘭亞軍　挪威＃５　澳洲＃６　奧地利＃７　法國＃１５　義大利＃２０

歐洲榜冠軍

美國在１９８９年初發行, 登上單曲榜＃２４（現代搖滾榜＃６　成人抒情榜＃７）

［Orinoco Flow］讓恩雅一砲而紅

連帶專輯也登上英國榜＃５（４白金）　愛爾蘭冠軍　美國＃２５（四白金）

其它國家也熱賣　至今全球銷售一千萬張以上

隔年恩雅獲得愛爾蘭唱片音樂協會最佳愛爾蘭女藝人

提名英國音樂獎國際藝人＆國際女藝人

［Watermark］提名葛萊美最佳新世紀專輯

［Orinoco Flow］提名葛萊美最佳音樂錄影帶

［Orinoco Flow］可謂開啟恩雅新世紀音樂女王的燦爛篇章
