Here's the English version of my tune. At first, I give my warm thanks to Geoff (j.g.). He helped me with the translation and gave me good tips. The music track is that same - I just panned the keys from side to another.

There's a picture I took in "that strange place" yesterday morning at 4 o'clock.

-Vocals me and birds(!)
-Ortega classical guitar (with wah wah effect on Audacity)

Mystical May

It's May and I've come to this strange place,
The day turns into night, but the sun still shines,
The sweetest wind is softly blowing,
All the clouds are flowing so far away.

Chorus :
Mystical May,
Your little voice is here to stay,
Bringing to me a new song,
Mystical May.

I sleep in this strange place tonight,
I sleep in peaceful dreams tonight,
I'm faraway from this world.

Chorus - Repeat.

Still pretty neat and keeps that mystery even though I now understand the words.

Beautiful. (not a word I often use)

Guild Starfire 5, Fender Telecaster, Fender Stratocaster, K Yairi and Walden and a 12 Stagg string acoustic guitar and other music making boxes - including mandolin, bouzouki and 5 string banjo, uke and acoustic bass - a few M-Audio keyboards and a flute - all played and treated with equal love and attention - zoom ut 2 pedal and Logic Pro X

j.g.

This song was brilliant when you did it in your natural language, and you have transformed it beautifully into English. Your accent and vocal delivery really gives it even more meaning than before. You have also done a magic production on this. You need all the credit, I only changed a couple of words and it was a pleasure to help you. Great song, now go to your little cabin and write another beautiful piece for us all to enjoy.

Beautiful!! Perfect sounding translation, Kari!

And excellent tune,  both versions - I obviously relate to the English version more so thanks for doing that.

Wow! This is as good, if not maybe better than Stoneman.
I don't know...I love them both.
You paint a beautiful picture with your lyrics and your music.
This song sends me to a quiet tranquil place....
Straight to the mp3 player!
Thank you for posting this BEAUTIFUL composition in english Kari!

Now it sounds like a lost Pink Floyd classic, fantastic Kari.
