Enya - Deora Ar Mo Chroí (vocals only/acapella)

Details

Description

A vocals only/acapella version of Enya's song *Deora Ar Mo Chroí* meaning 'tears on my heart', from her 2000 album _A Day Without Rain._ 💧🫀🌦️💚🌱💭😌 Original song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddKMuL5O-Eg

As written by Roma in the notes of Only Time: The Collection: _This song continues the theme of Tempus Vernum, a reflection on the beauty of mother earth, and how, after we journey though our days with her, we move beyond. And still the earth sings..._
♡
Enya spoke about this song in a 2001 interview https://web.archive.org/web/20211206045636/http://enyabookofdays.com/articles/adwr-31.htm _"when I wrote that melody, it was very much in the frame of a traditional Irish song, very much in the frame of a lament, where the women used to lament the loss of someone or someone emigrating. That's the feeling I got, that the song was going to have that feel and be sung in Gaelic."_
♡
The words Enya sings are the Irish adaptation of this poetry by Roma:

How beautiful the day and night;
the earth is singing in the wind,
the voices rise and touch the sky
telling all the earth's believing.
and in the night sighs fall down.
and from the skies sighs fall down on me.

And when I move away from view
my voice is singing in the wind.
it rises up to touch the sky
telling all that I believe in,
and from the night earth shall sing,
and from the night earth shall sing,
and from the night earth shall sing again.

♡

It's wonderful how even without comprehending the meaning, we can sense the feeling of the song. 💗 Even before I'd read the extra notes or focused in on the lyrics when adding the subtitles, this song recently made me tearful, when I was listening through to the album for the first time on CD. 🥲♡

Both featured images of Enya are from the early 2000s - the background is from the winter scene in the making of Only Time, 2000, can be seen in the watch party video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fye7LtjOuEE
The close-up overlay image of Enya's eyes is from 2002, in the Only Time: The Collection booklet - a photo I took; the detail in-print fascinated me. 👁️🪄

I'd love for there to be a new song in Irish by Enya too 🇮🇪 🎼🔮 they are all so beautiful, and it's a bonus to get to read and hear her words, _and_ Roma's poetry that inspired them too. 🤗🌠

Thank you for listening 😊♡
