Watermark (With Translation)
Cursum Perficio

Cursum perficio. I am making an end to my course.
Verbum sapienti: A word to the wise:
quo plus habent, the more [people] have
eo plus cupiunt. the more they want.
Post nubila, Phoebus After the clouds, Phoebus (1)
Iternum Over and over again (2)

Phoebus was one of the names for the Sun god,
which may be more famous as Apollo (Greek).
It is notable that the Sun is a male.
The word ‘iternum’ does not exist;
it could either be a misspelling for ‘eternum’ (eternal),
which is unlikely since it is very rare that an adjective
be used as an adverb, or for ‘iterum’ (again and again)
which is in fact an adverb and makes a little more sense (!!).
The meaning of ‘cursum perficio’ is actually best explained
by the footnote to the lyrics:
Enya was inspired by these words she saw on Marylin Monroe’s
last house, where they were taken to mean "my journey ends here".
It is a rather "free" translation, but it’s probably a very good
way to convey the meaning of Latin, which has a way of saying
things that is very distant from modern-day English.
The fact that those words turned out to be prophetical only
adds to the power of the song.

There’s a watermark
The tears are all dried
And leaving a stain
On an empty heart
Where nothing is right
Ain’t nothing like rain.

Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh and when it falls down on me.

There’s a man i know
He’s keeping his face
Turned into the light
I can see the glow
Shine into the dark
Shine into the night.

Oh and when it shines down on me
Oh and when it shines down on me
Oh, i believe.

There’s a watermark (there’s a watermark)
The tears are all dried
And leaving a stain
On an empty heart (on an empty heart)
Where nothing is right
Ain’t nothing like rain.

Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh, i believe.

Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh, i believe.

i count to three and grin
you smile and let me in
we sit and watch the wall –
you painted purple
speech will spill on space
our little cups of grace
the pauses rattle on
about the way that you –
cut the snow fence
braved the blood
and the metal of those hearts –
that you always end up pressing your tongue to
how your body still remembers things you told it to forget
how those furious affections followed you
ive got this store-bought way –
of saying im okay
and youve youve learned how to cry –
in total silence
were talented and bright
were lonely and uptight
weve found some lovely ways –
to disappoint
but the airports always almost empty this time of the year
so lets go play on the baggage carrousel
set our watches forward like we’re just arriving here
from a past we left in a place we knew too well
(hold on – to the corners of today
and we’ll fold them up to save until its needed.
stand still, let me scrub that brackish line
that you got when something rose and then receded)
