Just so you know, your post about the Enya lyrics was indeed put in the right place. Also, you can sign your name using three tildes(~~~); using four tildes adds a timestamp, like the one on my signature below.
If you have any questions, see the Wikipedia:Help, add a question to the Wikipedia:village pump or ask me on User_talk:Angela. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedia:Wikipedians!

erm- that was actually User:Cyan. The reason that "my talk page" links to ''my'' talk page is because Cyan borrowed my text from User:Angela/useful stuff. He meant of course for you to reply at User talk:Cyan! :) Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia from me as well. User:Angela 23:00, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I'm (User:Snoyes) moving your question on the reference desk here in case you want to keep a copy of it:
== Err... I'm not sure where this goes, but a question about some words ==
I hope that this is in the right place... ^^;;; If it's not, will someone please move it and notify me? Thanks.
I got this from a site with lyrics of a song from Enya... Does anyone have a clue as to what it means?

:"Shalom" means "peace" or "hello" in Hebrew. None of the rest looks Hebrew, but if it's been transcribed phonetically by someone who didn't know whatever language it is and couldn't hear it very well and Enya isn't enunciating very well... who knows? User:Loren Rosen 03:31, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)
:Taken from an interview with Lisa Gerrard about the song:
::''...The rest of the vocals, sung with sounds rather than in a conventional language, are an example of melismatic singing. "It's a language invented within the music, inherently, and the words mean more than I can say in English", she says. "The way I sing is not new; it's been around since the beginning of time, and it's something all children are born with. It's not unique to me, but for some reason I never lost the ability". ''
