Enya - The Loxian Gates songtekst
Over deze songtekst:
Luisterend naar dit lied hoor je niet de tekst die hieronder staat. Enya zingt het lied in Loxian. Loxian is een nieuwe, artistieke taal gemaakt door Roma Ryan.
Roma zegt zelf: "Loxian began its life as a series of sounds. It was originally meant for only one song, and was to have no meaning, to be a 'soundscape'. The soundscape was Nicky’s idea. I had difficulty with the idea of having purely sounds in the song, and so began to create a meaning and a history behind them purely for myself. Then, as Enya wanted to use the ‘sounds’ or ‘words’ in two other tracks, Loxian was born. It developed into what I would call an art language. I was trying to create an experience; an expression that portrayed Nicky and Enya’s vision. I was not trying to create a new language, per se. Yet ironically, even now, the Loxian language continues to grow.”
Roma haalde haar inspiratie uit de 'Runic' taal en uit 'The Lord of the Rings'.
Through the gates of night There is wisdom is waiting to be found That first place of night Was an island in the colour of stars Spring; Green grew and the flowers blossomed A lost time, for in the distance Summer The sun and the sand Autumn The shape of yellow leaves falling A lost time, far in the distance Winter The sky sang snow Written into the night A world of stars A lost time, for in the distance Now, is the season of water; The island, the cities, the darkness Through time this became our world But our quest is not yet over Now, is the season of the moon; Soft breezes whispering Night and day But our quest is not yet over
