I have trying to find the singer who sings that song it is a fairly old
song, but I can't find out who sings it. Could you please post me if
you know that female singer and maybe on what collection of hers it's
on. Thanks!!

You're almost certainly talking about Enya's "Orinoco Flow". It's on the
album _Watermark_, which is phenomenal. You shouldn't have any trouble
at all finding it.

Enya,Enya,Enya-I think the album it's on is "Watermark", the song's title is
something like "Oranocco Flow"

Okay,
You're either talking about Orinoco Flow by Enya from her
album...doh! I can't remember--sorry! Try Shepherd Moons or something.
But you also said it is old. Well, Orinoco Flow isn't two old (3-5
years?) or at least I don't _think_ it is. I hope that helps.

That would be "Orinoco Flow" by Enya.

I think it's by Enya, but I'm not sure.

I think the song you are looking for is called "Orinoco Flow" by
Enya. It can be found on the "Watermark" CD :-)

Her name is Enya and I believe the song sail away is from Watermark. She
has a newish album called the Memory of trees but its definitely not off that

No, no, no! Surely it's "Orinoco Flow" ("...we can sail, we can sail on the
Orinoco flow, we can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli...", etc.) by
Enya, from the LP "Watermark", much loved by producers of films (e.g. Green
Card), and adverts (e.g. The Royal Bank of Scotland)?

The artist is Enya, the track is Orinnoco Flow and the album is Watermark.

It's very good, especially 'Rains Over Africa'.

Sounds more like the refrain from "Orinoco Flow", which was a big hit
from Brazil back in the 60's. I think someone has come out with a new
version; perhaps Enya, but don't quote me on that one.

The real title of that song is Orinoko Flow... I don't the album where
it's included but I think it's in one of her old albums before Shepherd
Moons I think

It's from her 1988 album Watermark (also Including the absolutely
