Khamiel-labye - I dream of you

This is a lullaby-song for my niece Khamiel, who has her first birthday today (my time zone: November 25th :)).

I recorded this at 1:30am in my office at school, and I know the guitar (and my voice at times) is out of tune. But that is hardly the point of the song :)

The first and last dreams are specific ones that I've had. The others are just images I have of her: she's out experiencing the world and the world is singing to her.

On that note, some new words probably for everyone (myself included, so feel free to let me know if I'm off):

Hey, my love / my baby [English]
Querida [Spanish: "dear one"]
Bienvenida [Spanish: "welcome"]
Sayang [Indonesian: "dear"]
Konichiwa [Japanese: "hello"]
Habibi [Arabic: "my dear love, my good friend"]
Mi motek [Spanish+Hebrew: "my sweetie"]
Salaam [Arabic: greeting/"peace"]
Shalom aleichem [Hebrew: "peace be upon you"]
Bonjour, ma cher [French: "hello, my dear"]
Namaste [Sanskrit: "namaste" :) ]

It's soooo pretty! I kissed her for you today - on her little soft cheek as she napped on her grandparent's bed. <3 She was soooo pretty too.
