THE BRENNANS HAVE PRODUCED SOME AMAZING MUSIC


"May It Be."  Could there be a more beautiful song? 


As to the video above, I do like this one in particular.  The clips from the movie are beautiful and romantically favor that between a man and a woman.  I like that.  

Here are the lyrics to "May It Be."  The song is a collaboration, written by Howard Shore, Eithne Ni Bhraonain, Nicholas John Ryan, Roma Shane Ryan • Copyright © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group.  But sung by Irish singer/songwriter Enya Patricia Brennan, birth name, Eithne Padraigin Ni Bhraonain, well, it becomes absolutely heavenly.  Prior to her solo career, Enya was a leading voice in the band Clannad who is famous for the song "I Will Find You," featured in Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans.  That song was sung by Enya's sister, Moya Brennan.
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utulie [darkness has come]
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie [darkness has fallen]
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now.  

On the lyrics above, Wikipedia has this:
The lyrics of this theme song include English words, as well as words in the fictional Elvish language, Quenya, created by J.R.R. Tolkien.[5] While Enya wrote music, Roma Ryan studied the languages and wrote the lyrics in English and Quenya.[7] There are two lines with phrases written in Quenya. The first, Mornië utúlië, translates to "Darkness has come."[5] Mornië alantië translates as "Darkness has fallen."[5] Each line repeats twice in the song, with the remaining song lyrics written in English. They are intermingled with the Quenya lyrics, as in the second stanza; "Mornië utúlië, believe and you will find your way; Mornië alantië, a promise lives within you now."[5] Enya also performed another song '"Aníron" for The Lord of the Rings, which is sung in another of Tolkien's Elvish languages, Sindarin.[5]


The lyrics are here.
Hope is your survival
A captive path I lead
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a long long time
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years
Nachgochema
Anetaha
Anachemowagan
No matter where you go
I will find you
In the place with no frontiers
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years
Hale wú yu ga I sv
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga ga I sv
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga ga I sv
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga ga I sv
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga
Hale wú yu ga
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a long long time
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years
No matter where you go
I will find you
In the place with no frontiers
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years
No matter where you go
I will find you
