Enya: The Celts

"The Celts" is a hit song by Irish musician Enya. Sung entirely in Irish, it is the theme song to the 1986 BBC documentary The Celts, and was first released in the 1987 album Enya. When the album was re-issued in 1992 and re-titled The Celts, the title song was released as the accompanying single, peaking at #29 in the UK.

The video was filmed at Bodiam Castle. The B-side of the single, "Eclipse", is the song "Deireadh An Tuath" (found on The Celts album), played backwards.

Lyrics: (Irish)
Hi-ri, Hi-ro, Hi-ri.
Hoireann is O, ha hi, ra ha, ra ho ra.
Hoireann is O, ha hi, ra ha, ra ha ra.
Hi-ri, Hi-ra, Hi-ri.

Saol na saol,
Tús go deireadh.
Tá muid beo
Go deo.

Saol na saol,
Tús go deireadh.
Tá muid beo
Go deo.

Hi-ri, Hi-ra, Hi-ri,
Hoireann is O, ho hi, ra ha, ra ha ra.

Translation:
Life
Beginning without an end
We are alive
Forever
Life
Beginning without an end
We are alive
Forever..
