Aldebaran was on the Album 'The Celts' and also previously on the Album 'Enya' where it was dedicated to Ridley Scott

 

Aldebaran is a magical song...for a magical star...

The star Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus.

It's the star that Orion hold in the hand he's looking towards in the above picture.

It's quite easy to find in a dark sky. Find the three stars of Orion's belt from left to right for those in the Northern Hemisphere, and right to left in the South, then first bright star found by continuing in a line is Aldebaran.

 

Mystics have said it's the Sun that our Sun rotates around. ;)

Lyrics with translation.

 

 

Codladh Fada, | Long Sleep

 

Codladh Domhain, | Deep Sleep

 

Éirigh! Amharc síos | Rise! Look down

 

Aldebaran. | Aldebaran.

 

Siúl liom trí an réalta dearg. | Walk with me through the red stars

 

Deireadh, deireadh an Turas | The end, end of the journey

 

Réaltóg, réaltóg dearg. | Star, red star

I've always loved this song. :wub: It's so magical sounding and the harp playing is amazing, was that Enya?

I believe Aldebaran was on the B-Side to Storms In Africa (Part II) released in 1989.

Wow is that her actually recording it? :o

Wow is that her actually recording it? :o

I shouldn't think so give there is different light arrangements in the video.

That video clip kind of freaks me out..lol..I think it's just because you can only see her eyes most of the time and nothing else.

It does me. :o And she blinks a horrendous amount of times! :rofl:

I love watching here eyes, but don't like to see into her mouth, that's just weird and doesn't really look like Enya.

it has a haunty feel to it
