Answer 1

Whenever Enigma was playing I was usually having sex and not paying attention to the lyrics. But I remember it was on this album.

Amazon has a sound bite you can listen to (1st track).

The song is called 'Sadness (Part I)' The disc was titled MCMXC a.D. It came out in the late 90s(December). Much of the music was inspired by Marquis de Sade and particularly this track with the woman that wispers in French - "Sade, dis moi" "Sade, donnes moi" meaning "Sade, tell me" "Sade, give me." The single in fact starts off like this:

The Voice Of Enigma

"Good evening, this is the voice of Enigma
In the next hour, we will take you with us into another world
Into the world of music, spirit, and meditation
Turn off the light, take a deep breath, and relax
Start to move slowly, very slowly
Let the rhythm be your guiding light"

The lyrics to Sadness are as follows. Translate them sometime, as you'll find them to be quite facinating ---

"Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen
*** angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur
Attollite portas, principes, vestras,
Et elevamini, portae aeternales,
Et introibit Rex gloriae.
Quis est iste Rex gloriae?
Sade, dis-moi...
Sade, donnes-moi...
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen
Sade, dis-moi, qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher?
Le bien par le mal? La vertue par le vice?
Sade, dis-moi, pourquoi l'évangile du mal?
Quelle est ta relígìon? Ou sont tes fidèles?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'homme.
Sade, es-tu diabolique, ou divin?
Sade, dis-moi... Hosanna
Sade, donnes-moi... Hosanna
Sade, dis-moi... Hosanna
Sade, donnes-moi... Hosanna
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen"

The translator misinterpreted the latin above for one of the words where there are asterisks....LOL. Come on Yahoo! get out your Latin dictionaries ;-)

Hope that answers your question.

Just buy the greatest hits cd, it's on there but I don't remember the name. The whole cd is very nice. You'll be glad you have it!

Also you could go to limewire.com and sample their music.
