Oh semel canebamus
Fabulam magnæ diei
Lunæ lucem in aqua
Litora, stellam, cælum
Vela dare
Miraculum
Vela dare, vero
Semel salum
Sub Hesperus
Ita vela dedimus
In hodierna die
Canimus albæ nivis
Lunæ lucem in gelu
Lacrima et pluviæ
Vela dare
Miraculum
Vela dare, vero
Viatores
Ecce cælum
Oceanus et terra!
Vela dare

Vela dare, vero
Ite! Ite!
Mare, mare
Sub vespertine stella
Vela dare
Miraculum
Vela dare, vero
Et iam annus
Vicesimus!
Tempus est somnium!
Vela dare
Miraculum
Vela dare, vero
Et fortasse
Crastinus deis
Vela dabimus, vela
Vela dabimus, vela
Vela dabimus, vela

Once we were singing Story of a great day, Moonlight on the water Shores, a star in the sky
set sail A miracle Sailed, the true once the salt water under Evening Star So we set sail
In this day Sing of the white snow Moon on ice Tears and rain
set sail A miracle Sailed, the true Wayfarers See the sky The ocean and land
set sail A miracle Sailed, the true Go, go, Sea Under the evening star
set sail A miracle Sailed, the true But long time The twenty It is time to dream
set sail A miracle Sailed, the true But perhaps Tomorrow gods; Sails will sail
Sails will sail Sails will sail Sails will sail

Once we were singing The story of a great journey, Of moonlight on the water Of shores, stars, and the sky.
To set sail Is wonderful To set sail, it is true Once, the ocean Under the evening star And so we set sail.
In this day We sing of the white snow And the moonlight on ice And tears and rain.
To set sail Is wonderful To set sail, it is true Wayfarers See the sky, The ocean and the land.
To set sail Is wonderful To set sail, it is true Go, go, The sea, the sea Under the evening star.
To set sail Is wonderful To set sail, it is true But it's been a long time Twenty years Time is a dream.
To set sail Is wonderful To set sail, it is true But perhaps Tomorrow; We will set sail, and sail away
We will set sail, and sail away We will set sail, and sail away We will set sail, and sail away
The message of this song is related to Enya's many other songs about sailing, such as Orinoco Flow and Dark Sky Island.
