Part of the lyrics in Only If are in French so I decided to translate the entire thing!
Accual Lyrics When there's a shadow, you reach for the sun. When there is love, then you look for the one. And for the promises, there is this land. And for the heavens are those who can fly. Chorus: If you really want to, you can hear me say Only if you want to will you find a way. If you really want to You can seize the day. Only if you want to will you fly away. When there's a journey, you follow a star. When there's an ocean, you sail from afar. And for the broken heart, there is the sky. And for tomorrow are those who can fly. Chorus Ooh go doe bay mwa. Ooh go doe bay mwa. Chorus Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile, d'aile... Ooh go doe bay mwa. Ooh go doe bay mwa. Chorus If you really want to you can seize the day. Only if you want to will you fly away. French Translation Seulement Si Quand il y a une ombre, vous atteignez pour le soleil. Quand il y a amour, alors vous recherchez celui. Et pour les promesses, il y a cette terre. Et pour les cieux sont ceux qui peuvent voler. Choeur : Seulement Si vous voulez , vous pouvez m'entendre dire seulement si vous voulez vous trouverez une maničre. Seulement Si vous voulez vous pouvez saisir le jour. Seulement si vous voulez vous volez loin. Quand il y a un voyage, vous suivez une étoile. Quand il y a un océan, vous naviguez de loin. Et pour le coeur cassé, il y a le ciel. Et pour demain sont ceux qui peuvent voler. Choeur Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile, d'aile... Choeur Seulement si vous voulez vous pouvez saisir le jour. Seulement si vous voulez vous volez loin. Sķle-Mįire This post has been edited by Violet: Sep 14 2004, 04:25 PM |

Enya songs are great translated in french because more often than not, they still go with the music.

Ašeins ef...
Er skuggi er seilistu eftir sólinni Er įst er leitar žś aš žeim eina og fyrir loforš er himinninn og fyrir himnana eru žeir er geta flogiš Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu heyrt mig segja Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu finna leišina Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu gripiš daginn Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu fljśga burt Er ferš er fylgiršu stjörnu Er haf er sigliršu frį langt aš og fyrir brostna hjartaš er himinninn og fyrir morgundaginn eru žeir er geta flogiš Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu heyrt mig segja Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu finna leišina Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu gripiš daginn Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu fljśga burt Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu heyrt mig segja Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu finna leišina Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu gripiš daginn Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu fljśga burt Ég vildi gjarnan fljśga lķkt og fugl aš handan Ég vildi gjarnan fljśga lķkt og fugl aš handan... handan... Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu heyrt mig segja Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu finna leišina Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu gripiš daginn Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu fljśga burt Ef žś vilt žaš virkilega geturšu gripiš daginn Ašeins ef žś vilt muntu fljśga burt [I]Icelandic, before you ask. I've translated the French lines as "I would like to fly like a bird from beyond", because, according to a native French speaker (see enya.org for more information, Lyrics under Only if...), that is the closest variant (though not accurate) to what Enya is singing. In my opinion, it is what she is trying to say here. Also "Je voudrais voiler" is probably what she's singing, as that means "I would want to fly"; "Je voudrai voiler" means "I will want to fly", which is out-of-place and not what is being said here. So, I believe she is singing; "Je voudrais voiler comme un oiseau d'ailleurs" (I would like to fly like a bird from beyond*) *d'ailleurs means 'from elsewhere', but I feel 'from beyond' is the poetic meaning here. *phew*

The day Enya will sing in Italian none of us will dare to correct Roma's lyrics, no matter if what she sings is correct or not
 Hang on SethKoopa and you all, enyafans.net is going to be updated with your latest translations
