Background

The information in this archive was originally compiled by Lyle Corbin, primarily from USENET postings to alt.music.enya. Lyle no longer maintains his copy of the translations and forwards most Enya-related email to me. The last edition of his excellent translations was released in April 1994.

In late 1994, I started improving these translations to the best of my ability, but most of the improvements are contributions from others (listed in the credits for each translation) and any errors are surely my fault. If you have comments, please feel free to send me email. My email address is "my last name" @ "pathname" dot "com".
