A special note to my Youtube “Gypsy Song” video fans!
In response to several people asking on the Youtube site, I would be happy to post the lyrics here, and I thank you for asking! First, please let me say that it is an

I also have more sound clips at www.soundclick.com/beltana. As for the "true" history and honest “bloodline” of the song, I can only say to you that I must have in some way "channeled," I suppose, the spirit of Gypsy music as I have heard it in my own heart and spirit, when writing it. I woke one morning at about four am with the melody line in my head, and ran downstairs to play it on the piano, lest I forget it, it was burning in my head with such a fever. It is one of the most inspired pieces I have written to this date, and it always seems to get special attention. I am so blessed, so humbled, and... wow... thank you. The lyrics are as follows:
A lass in a field and a mandolin
Twirling skirts and a dev'lish grin
Palm and soul of Mehandi red
Beaded veils in the bordello
Sitar sings in the lantern glow
Move to the balalaika strings
Swim in the Buddha dripping springs
Ch:
Dance with us on a gypsy path
Sing us to sleep with your gypsy laugh
Tell us a tale and ride on the wind
Come and dance to the red violin
Silk is the road where the music flows
Gypsy's hair laced in amber stones
Moves like the light through the water he
Follow the prince of the Romany
Come, babushka, let us dance!
Another FYI... this was originally recorded with one of my previous bands, SONA. There are also a couple of "lost" verses that I intend to re-introduce to the song when I re-record it for my "record company," *solo* version of the tune, once I finally get signed to an admirable record deal! ;-) So... Let me know if anyone has any connections out there! Love and Light, and so much happiness to you all,
- Bernadette (Beltana) Spellsinger
