Do you mean this song, Glenn?

If so, I believe Duke Ellington's 1953 version is the original. The first one I heard was, believe it or not, by Bill Haley and his Comets on a live album from 1976!

this one. by the way Thank you so much for Zabadak!!! its nice meeting you here!!!

When i research about this man i never have seen any article linking him to this famous song. I just cannot see it in wikipedia or anywhere to prove this singer or composers ownership of the song. I have read something about this song that i did not exist to be a song with lyrics just the tune from a composer and then somebody added the lyrics and give it more meaning. This is just a vague memory of mine though... i have just forgotten about the article or perhaps i have just mislead myself into thinking what wasn't really the case.


Heres the lyrics to it. It came with the name Kitaro which was a composer. Dan Silt? or Kitaro? got so confused....

KITARO – CARAVANASARY LYRICS





Once a long long time ago
Setting out find our dreams
Lost in memories
Of golden days
Sometime rising in the spring
Glowing shining game the sun
Golden days means
Come to till return
Those who know the fire burn
Try to find forever the dream
Try to find forever the way
My way


Caravan journey in the sky
As the sun comes out
From the day
Caravan we know
Who we are
We discover
Where we went
Oh ohh caravan
There we find the love
Love shimmering
And soon our love
Is trough


Come with me
And take my hand
Memories of
Past unfold
And with I lived
Them once again
From my fading
Heart my hand
Feel my walk
In love with him
And I wander when
The spring will come
Do we ever really
Know for sure
Will we travel
On and on
Someday we'll be
Standing up
From today


Caravan journey in the sky
As the sun comes out
From the day
Caravan we know
Who we are
We discover bis
Where we went
Yeah caravan
There we find the love
Love shimmering
And soon our love
Is trough

Far as I can see it's written by Kitaro

Re: Caravan real composer?

Yes, I have seen it. But there was a singer named Dan Silt? if i haven't mistaken to been labeled to the song. Who was he? was he the original singer? or was this song just written to just the melody and no song? I don't get it!
