Enya在2005年崭新的音乐专辑"Amarantine"终于在近期向翘首期待的乐迷正式展现·此首单曲专辑作品保持了Enya一贯的清爽飘逸的音乐风格
作为新世纪音乐的领军人物,Enya的表现颇受众乐迷的好评.尽管,也有人说Enya音乐风格的一成不变是多么多么的不好.但看大众对其音乐关注的程度来看,似乎改变与否已经不重要。
新专辑名称定为Amarantine，是因为Amarantine是一种传说中的能够永保芬芳的不死之花，就像每个人心中保有最纯真的那份爱一样。
这张经过五年时间才制作完成的新专辑，可以说是恩雅投入最多心血的一部作品，而最新专辑的同名单曲《Amarantine (译：永恒诗篇)》所描述的是人一旦将心中的爱传出去时，这份力量就会一直传递下去，就像是一首永恒的诗篇一样，因为爱的传递而生生不息。
歌词赏析
You know when you give your love away
当你的爱得以表白
It opens your heart, everything is new
它启开你的心扉，让世界焕然一新
And you know time will always find a way
时光总会找一种方式
To let your heart believe it's true
让你的内心相信一切如此真实
You know love is everything you say
当爱成为你的语言
A whisper, a word, promises you give
一个呢喃，一个字眼，是你的许诺
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day
时光流逝你感受到真爱
You know this is the way love is
这就是爱存在的方式
Amarantine
永不凋谢的花儿
Love is always love
真爱如它般永恒
Amarantine
永不凋谢的花儿
Love is always love
真爱如它般永恒
You know love may sometimes make you cry
如果爱难免让你哭泣
So let the tears go, they will flow away
就为它滴下泪水，它们会随风逝去
For you know love will always let you fly
因为爱总会带你飞翔
How far a heart can fly away
飞到你心灵之所向往
Amarantine
永不凋谢的花儿
Love is always love
真爱如它般永恒
Amarantine
永不凋谢的花儿
Love is always love
真爱如它般永恒
You know when love's shining in your eyes
当爱在你的双眸闪烁
It may be the storms fallen from above
也许暴风雨就要漫卷而来
And you know love is with you when you rise
但真爱总会伴随于你
For night and day belong to love
因为爱赐福白昼与夜晚
