Orinoco Flow
Music Enya / Lyrics Roma Ryan
G F C
Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,
G F C
Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli,
G F C
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
G F C
Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
Cm Bb F
De de de, de de, (repeat 4x)
G
De de de, de de.
F C G
Sail away, sail away, sail away. (repeat 4x)
G F C
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
G F C
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
G F C
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
G F C
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
C G Am Fmaj9 G
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, Adieu. (repeat 2x)
C G F D
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, Adieu.
G F C
From the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum,
G F C
From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon,
G F C
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
G F C
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
G F C
We can sail, we can sail, with the Orinoco flow,
G F C
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail...
G F C
We can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
G F C
We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies.
G F C
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail...(etc.)

| This song is great. I think it's about sailing yet it has a very new age sound to it. I think the meaning has something to do with mood and new age stuff. Otherwise, this is a great song to mellow out to. | |

| I love this song, it's so.. floaty and beautiful. I can remember her performing it on TOTP I think it was when I was about 4 or 5, with the piano and the falling rose petals. It's stuck in my head ever since. | |

| this song reminds me of traveling. And when I'm in my car, I get all sorts of wanderlust, that i want to get out of the country and away from my daily obligations, you know just get a vacation! i don't know what i'd do if I didn't have Enya's CDs to listen to in my car :) 1 | |

| My mum used to listen to Enya when I was really small, like 3 and 4 years old! So I've always liked Enya, it reminds me of being really happy as a small girl. This was my favourite song and I used to dance round my living room to it! But now I'm older and I've begun to fully appreciate the beauty of Enya's music, its amazing! I think part of the beauty of her music is that the songs dont have a specific meaning, they all mean different things to different people. But, no matter what the songs mean, the music is serene, peaceful and always makes me happy! | |

| This was my first favorite song ever. I remember being VERY young and my dad playing this song during dinner on a cassette. Although I personally think new age is a silly genre, Enya is totally underrated. | |
