The song "May it be" (LOTR, part 1) is sung by Enya. If you own the standard 
edition DVD LOTR 1 the clip is included. Unfortunately the clip is missing 
on the special extended DVD.

I once listened to a song of hers eight or ten times in a row trying to 
figure out the words. Then I gave up and dug out the liner notes, which were 
written in a handwriting so crabbed it was illegible.  So then I looked it 
up online, to discover it's in Gaelic.

Haha, yes, she likes to do that.

...yeah, I had a feeling this is where we'd end up. ;-)

She sings in a lot of pretty random languages.

Yeah, that's one thing I like about her music. :-)

English, Gaelic, and Latin IIRC.  That's pretty much it.

Neither of those is random. Gaelic spoken at home, English at school, 
and Latin in church. (at least I think that would be rather likely).
