Today listening to My Guardian Angel on my lunch break prompted me to revisit what Mija Veda translates to. (Ironically enough, Katie has pointed out through my butchering of the chorus of My Guardian Angel, that "míja veda" isn't actually in the song at all ("Ni de noche, ne di dia"). Still the quest lingers...

Babelfish has been no help so I tried Google, and then looking up the lyrics to My Guardian Angel. While that didn't yeild anything (for the above reason), it was quite interesting coming across a karoke version of My Guardian Angel: Karoke Version.

Not a song that I would have thought likely to have a karoke version, purely in terms of popularity, especially in comparison to Hopkin's hits, but it's really cool to see.

It'd be funny to buy, given the way I've sung My Guardian Angel for the last 10 (wow) years. [smile] Although, I've been practicing - I have the "Angel de mi guardia" down, it's just the rest of the chorus I need to get out of the habit of just singing sounds that kinda sound like what Lawrence is singing! [smile]

Additionally it's been a good opportunity to get the entire contents of the single onto my server, realizing that the version I listened to today is the Radio Version (half an english chorus, and a spanish verse), that I think I'd either downloaded from somewhere, or ripped from the single at some point back in the day. Interestingly, Katie had been talking about the "Spanglish" version tonight, and I thought she was just being cute. On pulling out the CD single to rip it, I noticed that the third track is the spanglish version, which I don't think I've ever noticed that before, thinking of it as the "spanish" version. Testiment to that is what I have listed on Lost Horizons. You learn something new every day!

If only the day where I learnt the translation of "míja veda" would come! [wink]
