ı wanna talk about'sezen aksu'.do u know her? she is called as a small sparrow(minik serçe)of the turkısh pop musıc.she has lots of albums whıch are really has become the classıcs!
One of her well known songs are SEN AĞLAMA, GÃœLÃœMSE,TÃœKENECEGİZ,DÃœŞ BAHÇELERİ,DELİKIZIN TÃœRKÃœSÃœ...

I LOVE HEEEEEER Minik serçe is also one of her albums, one of the first LPs if i am not mistaken.

Her songs are not 'her songs', they are Turkey's songs!

i love her too,shes amazing.those songs are the sound tracks to my holidays!

if only she was better looking eh? hehe

If you have a chance to see "Vizontele Tuuba" pay attention to the last scene. Sezen's "Gulumse" makes an amazing impression there!

I heard from some Turkish friends of mine that she gave a concert in Amsterdam a few months ago.. but I didn't know.. so I didn't see her

I found out about that Amsterdamconcert when it was already sold out

she has a nice soft voice and she does her own songs..she is not only a good singer but also a good composer..i mean she writes her won songs....like her...

one of my bests... and was singing this all day

GERİ DÖN

Alışırım zannettiğim yokluğundan acılanmam
Vazgeçmek zor senin o büyülü tuhaf sıcağından
Dön demeye utanırım zavallı korkularımdan
Arkasına saklandığım gururumdan
Geri dön geri dön
Ne olur geri dön
Uzanıp tutuver elimi bir gün
Utanır diyemem ne olur geri don
Olur da bir gün sen de özlersen
Olur da bir gün sen de gözlerimle buluşmayı istersen
Uzanıp tutuver elimi bir gün
Utanır diyemem ne olur geri dön
Herşey bana seni hatırlatır unutmak isterken
Utanırım hep o acılı şarkılarda ağlarken
Bazen bir dost ya da bir çicekle evime gelirsin
Herşey seni hatırlatır da yeniden...

I'm a foreigner, from Los Angeles, California, USA. When we do searches for Turkish music, the top 2 are Sezen Aksu and Tarkan.

It does not matter if one can understand Turkish, Sezen has a beautiful distinguishable voice that is nice to listen to emotionally moving.

I was at her concert in Amsterdam... 2 times! hahaha... sorry for the people who missed it.

It was amazing! There were also some dutch people, but mostley turkish. Really before her concert i liked her, but know i really do love that woman

Sezen Aksu is unknown among people in Holland. Only the ones with strong connections know her, the ones who go on Antalya-holidays have never heard of her.

My friends do like Tarkan and Mustafa Sandal if they listen my ipod, but they skip all Sezen's songs. I really think you need to have a more eastern feeling inside yourself, to love Sezen Aksu's music. My friends really wonder how i can keep up listening to her, they find her voice tiring and very annoying.

Sezen Aksu might be known among the educated people who are very interested in music from all over the world. But if you would go to a music shop here and ask for Turkish music, they would come up with Tarkan or Sertab Erener. Turkish folkmusic is not SO easy to find here. If you type Sezen Aksu in the musiclibrary, you get only ONE cd, which is a MIXED cd and contains only ONE song of her.

I learnt to know Sezen Aksu from Kadir, obviously. The first Turkish song he sent me was Gemiler by Teoman. I was sold, loved it so much. Then he tried Ikinci Bahar by Sezen, which is still one of my favourites. Sinanay was the second of her i got to know, he thought i would love it because he said the music sounded as funky as me

Nowadays, if i go to the Turkish restaurant where i had a job last summer, i notice i know all Sezen's songs and can sing along more than the turkish workers there

Have you watched the video of Sarı Odalar?
Click to watch!

Sezen is AMAZING!!
I got to know her looking for turkish music on the internet . I am from Chile so she is completely unknown here (what a pity they don't know what they are missing out!) but yes I agree with someone who said that you must have one "eastern" feeling inside yourself to love Sezen's music because when I listen to her my family think it is so weird (they just listen to spanish and anglo music)
At first she was not my favorite but the more I listen to her , the more I like her music!!
and she is so beloved by turks of ALL AGES!!!... she is the queen what a pity she WILL NEVER come to south america!

My favorite songs by her are :
"ağlamak güzeldir' (absolutely wonderul)
and 'Sarı Odalar' and yes I have watched the vıdeo on youtube !
I don't know how but I have to attend to one Sezen's concert ANYWHERE ın the world somehow or another!!!!
I also love Barış Manço !!!!!!! he was and ıs the best!!
I wrote long because I love turkısh musıc so much!!!...
Greetıngs ,
Dilara.

One of her beautiful songs,

SEZEN AKSU » Tutuklu Lyrics

Ne senden öncesi
Ne senden sonrasý
Ne senden öncesi
Ne senden sonrasý

Ayrýlýk aman
Ölümden yaman
Geçmiyor zaman geçmiyor
Ne anam, babam
Ne hoþ hatýram
Yetmiyor caným yetmiyor

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor

Sakladým gözlerimi
Sustum hep sözlerimi
Yandým yar közlerimi,ahhhh
Savur savur bitmiyor

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor

Doğru mu ?

Ne senden öncesi
Ne senden sonrasý
Neither before you,nor after you

Ayrýlýk aman
separateness oh God,
Ölümden yaman
From death frightful
Geçmiyor zaman geçmiyor
Time not passing by,not passing

Ne anam, babam
Ne hoþ hatýram
Neither Mom,Dad,nor my nice memory,
Yetmiyor caným yetmiyor
not enough darling,not enough

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
İ stayed your presoner
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Stealed herself from mylife
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor
You are saying seven lives get wound and tangled around me ?

Ben sende tutuklu kaldým
Kendi hayatýmdan çaldým
Yedi cihan dolandým
Bana mýsýn demiyor

Sakladým gözlerimi
İ hided my eyes
Sustum hep sözlerimi
İ shut up my every word
Yandým yar közlerimi,ahhhh
Love,i burnt my ashes,ahhhh
Savur savur bitmiyor
Throw,throw,it's not finishing.

İts a song for her and Nilüfer,lovely music and voice.

Haydi Gel Benimle Ol Söz

Seslendiren: Sezen Aksu

Bende zincirlere sığmayan o deli sevdalardan
Kızgın çöllerde rastlanmayan büyülü rüyalardan
Kolay kolay taşınmayan doludizgin duygulardan
Yalanlardan dolanlardan daha güçlü bir yürek var

Haydi gel benimle ol oturup yıldızlardan
Bakalım dünyadaki neslimize
Ordaki sevgililer özenip birer birer
Gün olur erişirler ikimize

Uzanıp yüreğinin ateşiyle yeniden
Yıldızları tek tek yakacağım
Sarılıp güneşlere sevgimizle göklerden
Mavi mavi taçlar takacağım

Guys,any help here ?!

GERİ DÖN Sezen Aksu

Alışırım zannettiğim yokluğundan acılanmam
İ get use my supposing,i don't grive from absence,

Vazgeçmek zor senin o büyülü tuhaf sıcağından
Hard giving your enchanted,curious,warm up.

Dön demeye utanırım zavallı korkularımdan
İm shy from my helpless fears saying come back.

Arkasına saklandığım gururumdan
Behind from my hidded pride

Geri dön geri dön
Come back come back

Ne olur geri dön
Please,come back

Uzanıp tutuver elimi bir gün
One day,lie down,to grab,give my hand

Utanır diyemem ne olur geri don
İ don't say,he is shy'ashamed' please come back

Olur da bir gün sen de özlersen
İf one day become,you too long 'miss'

Olur da bir gün sen de gözlerimle buluşmayı istersen
İf one day become you too want to meet my eyes

Uzanıp tutuver elimi bir gün
One day,lie down,to grab,give my hand

Utanır diyemem ne olur geri dön
İ don't say,he is shy'ashamed' please come back

Herşey bana seni hatırlatır unutmak isterken
Everything remind me,while you wanting to forget.

Utanırım hep o acılı şarkılarda ağlarken
i am ashamed while cry in each bitterful songs.

Bazen bir dost ya da bir çicekle evime gelirsin
sometime you come to my house with a friend or with a flower

Herşey seni hatırlatır da yeniden...
Everything too remind you again...

Sezan Aksu appears in http://www.crossingthebridge.de/

I forget the name of it, but I like the song she does with Çeza.

Have you watched the video of Sarı Odalar?

I did check it out...I liked the song...it's style, great melody and instrumentals. ms sezen has a beautiful voice, nice smooth tone and thot she is quite attractive like a classic old movie star look...kind of like drew barrymore.

She has wanderful voice!
A Beauti has name,
her name,
Sezen Aksu!

Great voice, wonderful songs and she's good looking. I love Git, Belalim and Sen Aglama.

I like "Yanmisim Sonmucum ben"...This song plying sometimes in our barAnd I stop working, for listening this godlike voice!!!

Youth is always beautiful,but Sezen is beautiful even now, in her 52! She is charming!

İsnt this BEAUTİFUL or what ?!

İkinci Bahar

Gamze gamze bir gülüver şimdi
Beni göğsüne alıver şimdi
Mevsimi geçti susadım aşka
Benimle bir bütün oluver şimdi

İkinci Bahar yaşıyor ömrüm
Gel benim yarim oluver şimdi
Seni gül gibi öpe koklaya
Gözümden,dilimden sakınır,saklar
Bugünkü aklımla severim şimdi

Şiirler şarkılar söyleyerek
Mehtabı birlikte seyrederek
Benimle bir rüya kuruver şimdi

İkinci bahar yaşıyor ömrüm
Gel benim yarim oluver şimdi
Seni gül gibi öpe koklaya
Gözümden dilimden sakınır saklar
Bugünkü aklımla severim şimdi

PS: what does oluver means ?
İ know its compound verb from olmak and vermek,but what would they mean together?

hmmm ... i like the song 'Bile Bile' she sang with Alessandro Safina... also with Yaşar Gaga. Anyone has the translation of the song in english?

Thanks
