I just spent a few hours in the local coffe house with a friend's Irish
dictionary translating a few Enya 'Watermark' and 'Shepherd Moons' songs.
The results of these translations will be posted as soon I finish them.
One interesting 'coincidence' came up though, the word for 'caught',
'trapped', or 'absorbed' in Irish is 'gafa'. I guess that means that
'Suspended in Gaffa' would be 'Gafa i Gaffa'.
