[ternitamas]

the lighting effects are awesome and enhance the mood of the song. Beautiful!

[xXxMusicRosexXx]

The seven people who disliked this need to keep their opinions to themselves. Yes, everyone has their own opinion but yours is just really stupid.

Who here thinks Enya's musical talent is severely overlooked ?? I think she'll go down in history and will be more appreciated in 200 years time!!

[eivindhaukaas]

@manoma221 i agree

[ayumomomo1]

癒されます　それ以外に言葉が見当たりません

[wanderingmistblog]

I never saw her singing this live - except in music videos. Love this video. Thanks for sharing.

[drgentlewolf]

It sounds like another language different from japanese.

[thrainful]

[domdomcar]

un enchantement musical qui m'a fait vibrer. une pure merveille pour celui qui sait écouter et je ne suis pas le seul. cela existe et je l'ai entendu. merci ENYA.

[Paulo2009H]

Enya you are the best of the world!!!! i love you....

 BRAZILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[MizuruTakagi]

In March I will be going to Japan for a year as a foreign exchange student. I love Japanese, it is absolutely gorgeous, and Enya is one of the most beautiful artists alive! Amazing combination here :)

[queenofallrodents]

She has the nicest cheekbones I've ever seen... I'm quite jealous

[lightabove]

[myyvaine]

i do not know...but i am sure she can handle the live singing thing :)

She is the best singer in our days

[dd969330]

日本人でも気づかなかった。

美しさをエンヤハ教えてくれました。

by 中国

[Gaamabunta]

Oh Great Song from Enya. And this is the first Song from Enya in Japanes. It is great.

[hecateus]

Itherian,

Likely translations which were edited out, notice the video breaks.

Inquisitor, RYATRIX,

Its an old famous Japanese poem.

[LittleDudeNT5]

Actually, Roma Ryan wrote the poem. But it was inspired by the japenese poet Basho.

[Alienzzzzz01]

@LittleDudeNT5 who cares friend. =) Beauty is for the all mankind. Let us not care for the author or inventor, let us listen with grace the infinite beauty and creativity of song

[bonale]

this song is beautiful..so beautiful <3

[donismail]

wow

[minnne3]

I have been listening to this song for awhile, one of my favorite songs actually and I never knew it was japanese..wow.

shes amazing!

[RYATRIX1427]

its not Japanaes, thats just the translation :)

[Itherean]

How Enya understood the Nihongo Qustions? Are tourists really required to learn the basic Japanese?

[6ft2britishmale]

@Itherean

She probably had an earpiece with a translator talking to her in it. Thats how shows usually work I think.

[Itherean]

FILIPINO TRANSLATION: 1/3 Ang pagkasidhi ng mga bagay-bagay Ang lilak na bulaklak Ang bulaklak ng tagsibol At ang banayad na niyebe ng taglamig Paano silang bumabagsak 2/3 Ang kagandahan ng kalikasan Ang luntiang dahon at kulay ng taglagas

[Itherean]

3/3

Ang tinig ng hangin

Ang awit ng ibon

Isang malungkot dagat

Isang masayang dagat

Bundok

Bato sa tabing-dagat

Isang ligaw na iris

[zuksgaia]

This song is really great for a beginning Japanese student like me. I can understand over half of it without having to look up anything! And the structure is very simple and elegant. Awesome!

[RiVvenGuard]

wow, this score is probably one of her best.

[Veroxen]

i have the translation somewhere on my computer! but i love the song!

[hookery]

Que maravillosa voz que tiene esta mujer. la composicion musical tambien es fabulosa. Gracias por compartir el video!

[ShesheandMimi2]

I love Japan and anything having to do with it; but I didn't realize this was in japanese until I saw the lyrics. Very good for a poem turned to song.

[LagrimasDeSangre8]

It's so beautiful how she sounds...it's really soothing...beautiful music.

[nzorient]

Is someone able to translate this into english?

[zuksgaia]

It might not be perfect, but here's my basic translation: Sumiregusa (Fuji Dawn, a species of Violet) Mono no aware (The sorrow of) Murasaki iro no hana (the purple-colored flowers) Haru no hana (flowers of spring) To fuyu mo koyuki (and also winter in the light snow) Harahara (pitter-patter sound) Kaze no koe (the winds voice) Tori no saezuri (the birds chirping) Kanashii umi (sorrowful sea) Yorokobino umi (joyous sea) Yama koishi (mountain pebble) Ayamegusa (Iris blades)

[etygea]

es una maravilloosa cancion de enya sin duda enya es la mejor

[SecretIVUIIHear]

Mega goose bumps!! Ka wa ii !!!

[JoaniePH51]

This is perfection! What else can I say?

[SELFproclaimedVIRGIN]

ENYA LOVES ME

[fravend74]

Brava, music therapy

[joelpc92]

[merriguine]

I love Enya! This is so calming. Really destressed me. <3

[xxYakumoYukarixx]

What grace, and elegance... all shown through her voice.... wonderous~

She truly has a lovely voice

[idontcacho]

puedo agradecerle a esta divina mujer una de las mas gratas experiencias auditivas y trascendentales. GRACIAS ENYA.

[nickysims]

Sublime.

[fireshinobi]

how inspirational!

[sannorel]

Las melodias son muy hermosas, y canta muy lindo, pero aunque no se nada de musica no se porque todas sus canciones tienen que llevar otras voces, talvez es su estilo.

[linkindewACmilan00]

her music is so beautiful more so in japanese. this was amazing for live. enya really is awesome

[2012BeyondtheWorld]

Wow she sings so beautiful in Japanese, amazing! thank you for the video she has a sweet voice <3

[henshallfan89]

beautiful =)

[333ranran]

peace and perfection from within

what a beautiful day to climb

エンヤは好きだったが、今まで2009/5まで知らなかった。

聞いたことあるような気がするが。

[Cornel2025]

sooooo shoothing!!! XD

[mirko83fn]

grande ENYA sei troppo grande!!!!!!!!!!

i love Enya

[iceagestar]

私はエンヤが好きで、この歌がすごいですね。菫草はきれいのタイ­テルですね。

[bookkeeper57]

This is a haiku poem set to a Japanese melody by Enya. How SLOW is it? Haiku is no more than 17 syllables. Enya came up the original tune from her exposure to Japanese music: she did not rip it from somewhere. Demonstrates here why she has such unreasonable Japanese fans: she is the top selling artist there.

[Inquisitor53]

The Japanese have always been big fans of Enya. They have an appreciation of her talent & how genuine she really is. They know she is a true artist and respect her for it. No doubt She & Roma wrote this song in reciprecation of their love for her.

[Andylh106]

schönes Lied

[jccc101]

Enya is fantastic she have a awesome voice and her music is like something you'd hear in heaven and it's so relaxing ,Enya is so talented

[bakasfelezes]

I can't explain how her voice makes me feel good. It's like a miracle , no.. She is a miracle . Every song that she sings makes my heart warm inside..

Enya is great , no doubts about it.

[BlushingRoses]

I love her speaking voice! I've never heard it before.

And not that this is important, but I LOVE her dress!

[sephirothsGuardian]

XD love this song.

[YTBaku]

エンヤはすごい★

[hikarimurumo5]

日本語だったんだね。これは驚き。。

しかも、やたら発音うまいし。やっぱ天才なんだろうね。

[iluvmakaveli]

日本語の発音がうまくて驚いた

[superhirama]

日本nice

[giannial1985]

This is a wonderful Live performance. And it is LIVE. :) Enya has such an angelic voice.

[fufycasu]

i love it....i have no words!

[TechnoJaro]

Одна из самых красивейших песен великой певицы и музыканта, причем не похожая на другие её суперхиты! И как прекрасна здесь сама Enya, идеал, одна из красивейших женщин планеты!

[mtora83]

This song is very beautiful. It makes me want to be with nature...

[MyDyingDoom]

AAAAAA!! She breaks my heart!! Her voice... amazing! Is she an angel?

[Raligard]

not quite, but very close. She is certainly fantastic in very many ways.

[dhom100]

beautiful song. interview looks like she understand japanese. amazing woman. wonder why she never married.

[Sportymike]

She's ferociously independent..plus she's married to her music i suppose

[crankitupb1tch]

lol i swear .. the middle part where she's saying "heeey" or watever lol i dunno.. the sound makes me think there is a battle and someone is going to die =.=" this song is soo beautiful but it gives me that image despite it being about a purple flower =.="

[ifukuba]

she's beautiful!!

[videouzleg]

Can somebody translate the interview in the first part kudasai?

Watashi not much comprende nihongo. Arigato!

[RAMUNEsweet]

Man: There is now a song with a Japanese title.

Woman: She's decided to sing in Japanese this time.

Enya: it worked so well with the melody...

Woman: So you will be performing here for us today. How do you feel about that?

Enya: Yes, ... look forward to it.

[videouzleg]

Domo arigato anata wa superman desu!

[teisyo]

母国語以外で歌っても全然変わらないとは

凄すぎる

[bookkeeper57]

Japanese haiku (17 syllable poem) set to music; sung in Japanese by Enya. She's fluent

in Gaelic, Welsh and Spanish.

[AlphaMoth]

I doubt it.

[Inquisitor53]

Alpha Moth: Never doubt her capacity in anything!

With languages: 3 dialics of Gaelic: Irish (Ulster), Welsh, & no doubt Highland Scots.

Spanish, French, Latin, Japanese, English, & a derivative of JRR Tolkien's Elvin in which she & Roma ryan invented, Loxian.

1st home purchased: A castle overlooking the Irish Sea.

Estimated worth: Close to half a billion by now.

Never underestimate this woman!

[celticdrw]

Yes...she does. She learned alot with some languages. I think she knows Japanese languages. Does she knows Korean?

[WILLEVIN]

ちなみに日本の俳句とは、芭蕉さんの句のことです

[OhMyGodSushiRoll]

One of my favorites!

[dklaloamriua]

日本語だったの？？？

毎日きいていたけど、知らなかった！！（汗）

[Observer34point5]

She's pretty.

[LanceloteSee]

It's fucking good! Just beautiful beyond words. I love Enya. She is special.

[nuvakwahu]

LanceloteSee, Yes, enya is very special to all the world; but you should know that she would probably be saddened by that sort of profanity. I'm not trying to tell you what to do man, just thought you should know.

[LanceloteSee]

Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. ''fucking good'' is my kind of humor to say: ''really good'' But maybe I should watch my f*** language.

[leveryone]

wow!

an magnificent performance from the wonderful Enya.

thanks

[igot1i]

Wow, thanks for this. I've been a fan for years and this is the FIRST time I've seen a live performance. This is wonderful. My mom is Japanese, I'll have her interpret it.

[oh1life2live]

Translation is posted below, 'igot1i'. Cheers.

[igot1i]

very nice, thanks! Or should I say... Domo Arigato?

[PikitaFujimiya]

what japanese program is it???? o_O

[ENZOQ0209]

在日本  日本语言

[oh1life2live]

The poignancy of things A purple flower The blossoms of spring And the light snow of winter How they fall The beauty of nature A green leaf and Autumn colours The voice of the wind The song of birds A sad sea A joyful sea Mountains Pebbles A wild iris

[akechan8]

エンヤにはまってしまった１５歳どう思います??

[AkichanMapleVanilla]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I really enjoyed!!!

[tutetes]

no meeeee

[ZugBub]

only thing I understood was hana, umi, and yama :\

[jmprater]

I rescind my above comment. the lead vocals of this song are LIVE!!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMANCE ENYA HAS EVERY GIVEN!!!!

my humblest apologies

[jmprater]

great song, enya lip-syncs again. can't she actually sing for once? is her voice that bad live?

[desmadonna]

she sang "live" 3 times.

may it be at oscars

amarantine at regis and kelly

amarantine at cbs morning

it's not that it is bad, but it's kinda weak.

nevertheless, still love her lots

[oh1life2live]

Both of you are wrong. Enya has live many times, including Jay Leno and David letterman, whenher instruments were limited. Also on CNN, live twice. Her brand of music is music, not made to entertain. hence its complexity is not easy to replicate on stage live. There have to be adjustments and preparations. I have also listened to her without music. Not a voice like it in the world, I'd say. Cheers.

[giannial1985]

I agree. She also is singing Live in this. I can hear her breath in between and it's different then the CD :)

[rayflorin]

haikai:

ara tanoshi

omoi wa haruru

mi wa sutsuru

[odranreb20]

cuanta paz y armonia se vive y se sienta al escuchar esta hermosa musica en la voz de un angel como enya sublime

[SuperboyConnerKent]

luv it thanks for the add

[Enyarocks07]

I love this song!!! She is such an amazing singer!!!
