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 HONOR to go to Youtube and see that this video has gotten over 162,000 views thus far. (Wow.) I think that LadyHawk did a fabulous job of putting such beautiful pictures to my song.  (Don’t you???  Please don’t forget to tell her so!)  I am truly humbled.  If there are those of you out there who are interested in seeing & hearing more from me, please sign up for my mailing list.  (You can say you knew me when I was nothing but an anonymous Youtube video star!  lol.)  In case you have not seen it, here it is:

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

Burgundy going to her head

 

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,
