Hi all,

This is véry off-topic, but I wanted to use our multicultural situation to ask for some songs about trams and trains. A friend of mine is celebrating his birthday next week and he is especially crazy about trams. I already found 1 song in Turkish about trains, but if anyone here knows another one in Turkish or in any other language I´d be very grateful! .  (the one I have now is Orhan Hakalmaz - Kara Tren)

Thnx

I assume you have Dutch texts already? If not: http://www.musicfrom.nl/songteksten/

İ dont know what you are looking for exactly,but we have this song ,its old ´1938´ but he is singing for the train ´that train can bring people together´

İf its ok,i can look it up for you.

 I love it Canli! If you can look it up for me (and maybe make a rapidshare link?) that would be great! . It´s for a friend of mine and he´s a little older so I think he´ll love these songs. Thnx!

 Actually I hadn´t Trudy, thnx for the site, very useful! .

Crazy about songs about trains???

So no matter what the language is, he still likes it?

Sam, sam the big red tram

From this link you can listen to it:

Not necessarily songs, he just likes trams and trains, and I thought it a funny idea to make a cd with songs about it . Thnx!
