This must be one of the most beautiful, haunting rendition of possibly the most beautiful song I have ever heard and there are many, many beautiful renditions from all over the globe so without further ado I give you Ederlezi (Spring festival) by Dikanda while you on the Northern Hemisphere go into Spring and we on the Southern hemisphere go into Autumn. Enjoy!

Aotearoa: A Wider Perspective 
Hey travellerev-
Do you have an English translation for the lyrics of this song or A short critique of the songs origin and message?
This is the Wikipedia entry and they are singing the version in Romani: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ederlezi_%28song%29
I found Kurdish, Turkish and Croat versions and I think that wile the song was made famous in a 1989 movie it is a very old song crossing many different countries and cultures.
This version is in A natural minor or Aeolian scale
