I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls or The Gipsy Girl's Dream is a popular aria from The Bohemian Girl, an 1843 opera by Michael William Balfe, with lyrics by Alfred Bunn. It is sung in the opera by the character Arline, who is in love with Thaddeus, a Polish nobleman and political exile.
Persistence in popular culture
In addition to its regular performance in the opera, and in cast recordings of the opera, the aria, which was very popular in the 19th and 20th centuries, has been recorded many times by a variety of musicians as a stand-alone song. It has also been parodied.
In recorded music
Elizabeth Wheeler recorded the song in 1909.
The song was recorded several times during the mid-twentieth century by Dame Joan Sutherland.
The song appears in a film version of "The Bohemian Girl" produced in 1936 by Hal Roach that stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as the Gypsy foster parents of the Count's daughter; young Arline is played by Darla Hood; adult Arline is played by Jacqueline Wells; the dubbed singing voice is that of Rosina Lawrence.
Enya (born Eithne Ní Bhraonáin; anglicised as Enya Brennan; 17 May 1961) is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and producer. She has sold 26.5 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and an estimated 75 million worldwide, making her one of the world's best-selling artists. She is Ireland's best-selling solo artist, and records her music with lyricist Roma Ryan and producer and manager Nicky Ryan.
Enya began her music career in 1980 as a member of Clannad, her family's Celtic band. After playing on two of their albums, she left in 1982 to pursue a solo career. She adopted a distinctive sound through voice-layering, folk melodies, and keyboards on her debut album Enya (1987), produced as the soundtrack for the BBC documentary series The Celts. Her next album, Watermark (1988), was her breakthrough record following the success of its lead single "Orinoco Flow", which reached the top 10 in ten countries and propelled Enya's rise to worldwide fame. Her follow-up albums Shepherd Moons (1991), The Memory of Trees (1995) and A Day Without Rain (2000), continued her success through the 1990s and into the 2000s, helped by the respective charting singles "Caribbean Blue", "Anywhere Is", and "Only Time". Following Amarantine (2005) and And Winter Came (2008), Enya took an extended break from music; she returned in 2012 to record Dark Sky Island (2015).
Enya is the first studio album from the Irish musician Enya, released in 1987 on BBC Records. It was produced as the soundtrack to the 1987 BBC television documentary series The Celts.
Enya received mostly positive reviews and was a mild commercial success, reaching No. 69 in the UK. Following Enya's rise in popularity, the album was reissued as The Celts by Warner Music Group which reached No. 10 in the UK. The album has sold 1 million copies in the US.
Background
The album was first released in the UK by the BBC on their own label, and later issued in North America by Atlantic Records. It reached No.69 in the UK Albums Chart in June 1987. In 1992, Warner Music reissued a remastered version of the album as The Celts.
The album includes only a portion of the music Enya composed for the documentary series. In 1992, coinciding with the reissue of the album, a previously unreleased track from these sessions, "Eclipse", was released as a B-side on the CD single for "the Celts". In 2005, another previously unreleased track from the same sessions, a "Spaghetti Western Theme" done in the style of Hugo Montenegro, was released on the CD single for "Amarantine", in memory of one of the producers of the TV series.

Through a darkened corridor, They bring me in a room without a door. No locks, no chains but still I’m bound. Like a distant voice without a sound. Watch the insane breed Look the crowd of freaks The fire in their eyes, Dancing in the marble halls. Now I’m coming home, Back where I belong, To the home of fools Dancing in the marble halls. In a darkened corridor, Where no one dares to look behind the door, I close my mind and still I’m bound.
