I think an endless discussion is about to begin. I hope I am wrong. But if someone wants to discuss this issue please let him do it in another topic. Because I want this topic to be about only folk music.

Quoting trip

Another interesting thing about this song: Harput is today´s Elazığ, if I am understanding what I read on the Internet. So, some men came from relatively nearby. And then there is Yemen, meaning others came from across the empire to fight. It is a reminder of just how far the Ottoman Empire stretched, even in its final days. Amazing.

I dont really know if anyone came from Yemen. But you know when a Muslim country fights against an enemy from another religion, it is a jihad. And always some muslims from other countries wants to join that war. They think it is a sacred war. You know many muslim people from other countries fought against Serbia with Bosnia because of that. So it is possible maybe some volunteers came from Yemen.

Quoting trip

Another very sad song, gokuyum. You have sent me to Wikipedia again, this time to learn about Sarıkamış. This is the battle in 1914-15 between the Ottomans and the Russians, yes? I see Turkish losses of 60,000 to 80,000 men out of a force of 90,000. These numbers are unbelievable but I´m afraid very real. And many of these deaths are thought to have been caused by the freezing conditions, yes? Thus, this song. ... Thank you for another lesson in Turkish music and Turkish history. ... Teşekkür ederim.

P.S. -- Please explain "yar." What does it mean here? I see it means "precipice" or "cliff," but I have a feeling it also means "love" (this feeling comes from the translation of a Barış Manço song, I think).

Most of them froze to death even without shooting a single bullet. Enver Pasha´s wrong war strategy caused this.

I read the story of him in an Azerbaijan site this week. It was the first time I have heard his name. The news was about his story being told in a Turkish Tv series. He was a really brave young man. Some says he is modern day´s Kürşat.

Note. If you want to know who Kürşat(chinese called him Ashina Jiesheshuai) is, here is a link:

Sarıkamış Türküsü (Özhan Eren)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WOBR_o1jCs

Sarıkamış üstünde kar
Kar altında Mehmedim yatar
Gülüm donmuş kara dönmüş
Gören sanmış yarini sarar

There is snow on Sarıkamış

My Mehmed lies under snow.

My rose has frozen, turned into snow

Like he has hugged his beloved

Oy gülüm yar vay canım yar
Kar altında Mehmedim yatar

O my rose, o my soul

Under snow my Mehmed lies

Kimi Yemen kimi Harput
Üzerinde ince bir çaput
Avut yiğit gönlünü avut
Yar sarmazsa Mevla´m sarar

Some from Harput, some from Yemen

Only thin rags on them

Console your brave heart, console

If beloved cant hug you, God will.

Oy gülüm yar vay canım yar
Kar altında Mehmedim yatar

O my rose, o my soul

Under snow my Mehmed lies

Note: Sarıkamış disaster is one of the biggest disasters in the Turkish history.

If a woman farts, only nearest person hears, if a man farts whole street hears.
