Mare nubium. Umbriel.
Mare imbrium. Ariel.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Mare undarum. Io. Vela.

Mirabile dictu. Mirabilia.
Mirabile visu. Mirabilia.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Sempervirent. Rosetum.

Afer Ventus. Zephyrus.
Volturnus. Africus.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Etesiarum. Eurus.

Running verse:
Suus cuique mos. Suum cuique.
Meus mihi, suus cuique carus.
Mememto, terrigena.
Mememto, vita brevis.
Meus mihi, suus cuique carus.

(Translation:
African Wind

Sea of clouds. Umbriel.
Sea of showers. Ariel.
And we go to the stars.
And we go to the stars.
Sea of waves. Io. Vela.

Amazing to say. Marvellous.
Amazing to see. Wonderful.
And we go to the stars.
And we go to the stars.
Evergreen. A Garden of roses.

African Wind. West wind.
Volturnus. Africus.
And we go to the stars.
And we go to the stars.
Etesians. Eurus.

Running verse:
Each man to his own. Let this be so.
That which is mine I treasure,
And everyone treasures their own.
Remember, earthborn,
Remember, life is short.
And that which is mine is treasured by me,
as everyone treasures their own.)

Review about Afer Ventus

Gaelic! | Reviewer: Corpsecorps | 12/17/08

This song is just amazing. The layering of the running verse is brilliant and the whole has such a mysterious sound. I wish Enya would continue doing more songs in Gaelic.

I'm not sure if it's correct to put things like "Sea of Clouds" in the translation. That's a correct translation from the Latin, but it's not meant literally. "Mare Nubium" is a place name on the lunar surface.

Same type of deal for most of the other names. Io is a moon of Jupiter, and Vela is a constellation. Umbriel and Ariel are moons of the planet Uranus.

Not sure if the title should be translated as African Wind either. Both "Afer Ventus" and "Africus" refer to the mythological Roman god of the southeastern wind, as well as winds themselves.

Check Enya's website.
