Hi guys. Here's a Turkish folk song by Onur San - I like a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWqWlZxYNBk
Nasip olur Amasya'ya varırsan
Giden sail selam getir pirimden
Hublar şahı Hamdullah'ı görürsen
Giden sail selam getir pirimden
Hayali gönlümde çekerim ahı
Acep görür müyüm gülyüzlü şahı
Bunca aşıkların sırr-ı penahı
Giden sail selam getir pirimden
Mecnun gibi bir sevda var başımdan
Cihan sele gitti çeşmim yaşından
Kim ayrılmış ben ayrılam eşimden
Giden sail selam getir pirimden
Sene bin ikiyüz kırk dörtte beyan
Kırkların ceminde görmüşÃ¼m ayan
Mürsel göbeğinde taze bir civan
Giden sail selam getir pirimden
Veli'm eyder dost köyüne varınız
Balım Sultan olsun size kılavuz
Benim pirim Amasya'da yalınız
Giden sail selam getir pirimden

Thanks also for the information regarding Gokhan Kirdar. His music has that very special blend of hüzün. Modern, yet traditional....very nice.

Very interesting, a translation of the lyrics would be very nice. What exactly do you mean by folk?

Even if this poem is translated into English it will be full of incomprehensible names, symbols and concepts. I might like to give it a try when I have ample time.

Oh beggar, if you ever go to Amasya
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
If you see there the Lord of the Good Hamdulla
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
His yearning in my heart I so desperately sigh
I do not know if I'll ever see my beautiful sheikh
You the bearer of the secrets of all these lovers
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
I am captivated by a love so insane
I cried so much so as to flood the Earth
Who would wish to leave one's own soul mate
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
T'was twelve fourty four right then
When I saw him in the mass of the forty sacred men
He was but a young bud in prophet's bosom
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
My dervish says go to friend's house
May the Honey Sultan be your guide
For thy master is so bereft in Amasya
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
(Couldn't get the rhymes right yet)
P.S. This is an Alevite poem.

Quoting vineyards: Oh beggar, if you ever go to Amasya
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
If you see there the Lord of the Good Hamdulla
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
His yearning in my heart I so desperately sigh
I do not know if I ever see my beautiful sheikh
You the bearer of the secrets of all these lovers
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
I am captivated by a love so insane
I cried so much so as to flood the world
Who would wish to leave one's soul mate
Bring me back the greetings of my sheikh
(Couldn't get the rhymes right yet) |
Very good indeed!
Congratulations.
However, I think what Can Yucel said about the translations of poetry should be remembered here:
"Metne sadık çeviriler harfi, lafzı, anlamı yakalama telaşından şiirin tınısını kaçırabilirler, oysa şiiri şiir eden tınısıdir. Can Yücel’e göre çeviri denen uğraş, söz konusu olayı başka bir dilde yaratmaktır."
This is not a critisisim at all btw.
Congratulations again.
