Enya connects her song, "Cursum Perficio" to Marylin Monroe. The words cursum perficio were written on inlaid tiles at the front door of the last home Monroe lived in, and where she died. The tile were there when Monroe purchased the home, which, as it turned out, was quite prophetic given the translation being, "my journey ends here."

If I knew Latin maybe I would understand why there's all the differences...Google Translate's latin version from a basic english translation:vestigium mittuntVerbum sapientiQuanto magis sunteo plus cupiuntPost nubilum, solaeternumEnya's version:Cursum perficioVerbum sapientiQuo plus habent,eo plus cupiuntPost nubila, PhoebusEternumRough english translation:Watermark/my journey ends hereA word to the wise/a word is enough for the wise:"The more one/they has/have,the more he/they desires/yearns/want"After the clouds, the light/sun/sungod/Apollo/PhoebusForeverAlso random tidbit from random website:"Enya connects her song, "Cursum Perficio" to Marylin Monroe. The words cursum perficio were written on inlaid tiles at the front door of the last home Monroe lived in, and where she died.

Call me crazy, but I always think about a submarine being chased by P-3s, S-3s and Vulcans every time I listen to this song

I believe the title translates into English as "Finish the Course," but I may be off on tense (past, present, future?). I looked it up in an old Latin Dictionary. I thought the phrase originated in St. Thomas Aquinas's "Summa Theologica," (13th century A.D.) in a reference to Jerome's Latin Vulgate translation of the Apostle Paul's 2nd Epistle to Timothy, but I couldn't find it. Another place to look for this kind of wisdom is Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations."

Love her" Sunrise Lakes.". You looked. All I can say is. There's a mountain 2 railroad tracks and the mountain is barren. It's separated by a river. There's a town It has a very small pavilion. You had black hair. There is a doctor your love That's why you die.Your freind killed you. You where murdered. Jealousy. That's why Your water mark. He drowned you. The doctor was that guys best freind. He left after you died. He cryed
