That´s one of my favorite songs.

Here is the original by Aşik Veysel

For those who don´t know, here is a translation:

From the moment I came into the world

I began to walk at the same time

In a mansion with two doors

I walk all day, I walk all night

If considering deeply

It appears as if were far away at first sight

As the route length is a minute

I walk all day, I walk all night

Veysel is amazed at this events

He sometimes laughs, but sometimes also cries

To reach journey´s end

I walk all day, I walk all night

There are so many covers of this song. It is not possible to know the number. I love Pentagram´s metal cover most. It is so different than original.

Ummm....interesting. I´m a bit more of a traditional type...older I guess. Here is one of my favorite versions, although I must say the Cem Karaca, Baris Manço one is probably my favorite. I love Cahit Berkay´s introduction to the piece. He is one of my favorite Turkish musicians. 

From my perspective it seems a very popular piece, even with the young. Is this true?

Ah great.

We can say its covers are very popular with the youngs but I am not sure about the original version.

Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım: My Long and Narrow Road (?)

Here is the version I know:

I love it!

This is a cover too trip.

wonderful version, thanks for posting Trip. 

Gokuyum, I see now where I made my mistake! I have been reviewing my Turkish lessons today and see that if I had thought about this a bit harder, I would have gotten it.

Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım

long narrow a road on I am

I am on a long and narrow road

I sometimes have trouble realizing that "da" or some other suffix is actually a suffix and not a basic part of a word. I had even tried to look up "yolda." Although perhaps that should have tipped me off: "en route."

I must start reading more in Turkish! 

That is a great symbol of world. A mansion with two doors. One door is birth. When you are born, you enter the mansion(world). Second door is death. When you die you go out of this mansion. All you do is walking non-stop when you enter this mansion to reach the second door. Why? Because we don´t belong to this mansion. This is not our home. Our soul wants to leave this mansion as soon as possible and to go to his home.
