Tjis is a cover of the well-known traditional celtic tune. I've added new variations and a self-composed bridge as well as a lyric line in spanish. Very slow and sad mood, telling the story of a maiden waiting for her lover who went into the sea and never came back.

LYRICS

Vienen las noches sin luna

barcos fantasmas de bruma

¿sois sombras de sal disfrazadas con la espuma del mar?

dime lánguida estrella...

si mi amado regresará

que la triste sirena

canta que ya no volverá

Y aunque no quede ya esperanza

no se puede apagar

el leve rubor de una enamorada

rubí como el sol al amanecer

Las olas ya no traen nuevas de él

y borran las huellas de mis pies...

Si se consume el latido

que ardió una vez en mi pecho

haré del mar también mi lecho

No... ya no volverá...ya no volverá...

and translated into english (more or less...)

Ghostships made of mist

comes in the moonless nights

¿are you shadows of salt in disguise masked with the foam of sea?

tell me languid star

if my love will return

because the sad mermaid

sings he will not come back to me

and even if there's no hope left

you cannot tone down

the slight blush of a woman in love

ruby as the sun at dawn

the waves does not bring news from him

just erases my footsteps

and if the beat that once beated in my chest is consumed

I will make the sea my deathbed

No, he won't come back

he won't come back....

hope you like it

I like the old Irish-Scot Celtic and English folk songs.

I think the best music of all is music that tells a story, either happy or sad. I will be interesting to listen to the different versions & interpretations of this tune at Soundclick.

yes,

we're open for new versions

we make them at nuevasmusicas.org the only request is that they have to be "quiet", relaxing, score-like versions as the forum is to promote new age

nuevasmusicas.org

i think there are decent covers, i need to replace my files, didn't realize it was not mastered, the volume, but esentially will be the same file

glad you liked it
