Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) Lyrics

let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow, let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli. let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore, let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea. Sail away, sail away, sail away, Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away.(Chor) from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon, from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony, from Peru to Cebu feal the power of Babylon, from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea. Sail away, sail away, sail away, Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away.(Chor) from the North to the South, Ebudae onto Khartoum, from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon, carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been, carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen. we can sail, we can sail... with the orinoco flow we can sail, we can sail... sail away, sail away, sail away.(Chor) we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel, we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies we can sail, we can sail... sail away, sail away, sail away.(Chor) we can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli. we can sail, we can sail... sail away, sail away, sail away.(Chor) from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea. we can sail, we can sail... sail away, sail away, sail away.(Chor)5x

Meaning of Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)

Let me sail, let me sail, and let the Orinoco Flow carry you away on a boundless journey of discovery. Enya’s “Orinoco Flow” is an invitation to escape into a dreamlike state, embracing a spirit of adventure and limitless possibility. The song evokes feelings of wonder, serenity, and yearning for exploration as it lists a vast array of exotic locations—from Bissau to Palau, Bali to Cali—all connected by the rhythmic flow of the sea. It’s a celebration of travel and the unknown, suggesting we can be carried “on the waves” to lands unseen, guided by an ethereal presence represented by “Rob Dickins at the wheel.” Ultimately, the song encourages letting go of worries, saying goodbye to familiar constraints (“Ross and his dependencies”), and simply surrendering to the beauty and magic of a world waiting to be discovered.
