What did Enya say about "Sumiregusa (Wild Violet)"?
Genius Answer
Lyricist Roma Ryan wrote in the album’s promotional box:
The lyrics are inspired by hokku by the Japanese poet Basho, which was written while he was travelling to Otsu, in which he says that on his way through the mountain road his heart leapt at the sight of a wild violet.
I am sure we have all experienced an intense moment when we are moved by some part of nature.
Perhaps an epiphany.
Perhaps it is a celebration of life.
Perhaps just a moment that is ours alone.
