BÖ / Nenni

You can't choose who you love

Time is flying. Really after five years, when I looked back I see it clearly. Time fly and no one can stop it. Things change, but some things stay stable.  we don't let them change. Or they don't let us change. I had good and bad time in this five years. But I really appreciate to all of my memories which is making me who I am. All persons who come to my life, makes me happy and maybe even cry. 

Anyway, if we come to point, I really love this song and some how put in me a mood which reminds my past. But the past is past in the end. The song is about a love story what have happily ever after. (Finally a happy love story). There was a girl and a boy who love each other. But guess what, their families have a really serious problem about each other we even call them enemy. Lovers had a tough time because of the enemy issues but in the end families member understand their love and permit them to get married. Thanks to this marriage both of side get make up and end of story everyone be happy. 

Songs have lots of versions but I like this one most. My second favorite is below one. But it puts me seriously bad mood. so be careful when you listen. I have just realized that this is first Turkey Turkish song I ever shared. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Thanks to Selda Bağcan I can find English lyric of song easly :)  so I am gonna give English lyric direcly here :)

He lays gunny on the roof

He lays gunny on the roof

Leyli de my love loylu da my love

Loy loy loy

I don't know who my love likes

A leylim nenni de my hennaed

Nenni de my bully nenni de nenni

He has someone to love

Leyli de my love loylu da my love

Loy loy loy

she wears ten types of clothes a day

may they lift the red stone

Leyli de my love loylu da my love

Loy loy loy

may they kill the snake

may they send to paradise

Leyli de my love loylu da my love

Loy loy loy

the one who loves in childhood

Rachid Taha / Ya Rayah

The Passenger ..

Hello everyone, I come back again, with a lovely and cheerful song :) But before talk about song, I am gonna share something on my life and why I pick up this song to share.  Well, actually answer of the question why I share the song is easy I like so much Ya Rahay and I feel happy nowadays. Pure Happiness.  As if we think this blog is kinda my dairy ı want to say some update about my life. Maybe I say maybe not before, I am senior student at college, so I needed to find a intern position to have experience, anyway because of that I have started to work in production agency and its makes me happy being there, I met lots of good people, the producturs, editors cameramans,  The director.. all of them is really cute :) But I really have doubt about what I want to do after my graduation, I like television staff which is I am in right now but I also love ad anyway summary, some new people who ı work together makes me happy. This is a reason of what I am happy but just one of them :) 

An Amazing Song

Yes, an amazing song, like I mention at headline. But (There is a but all the time :D)commonly known an Rachid Taha song, this is wrong. Because this is a Dahmane El Harrachi's song which is composed in 1970. Song written by Dahmane El Harrachi for some people who immagrate from Algeria to French. But I think every single person can find something about their life, I mean life is an journey and all of us is passenger. So song is really relating about us, of course I am gonna share the lyric, and you will see what I mean.

Yes, the song was written in 1970, but in 1997 we heard this song again but this time from Taha, and thanks to Rachid Taha lots of people all around the world learn and love this song like me. Actually there is thousand version of song , from India to Romania, this is a kinda madness I think, but it, I mean  song, worth to that. But before the version of song I want to add the original of i it, yes here , below, I put songs original.

Dahmane El Harrachi - Ya Rayah

As final episodes I just want to share song lyric because one of my before content I talked to much about Taha, but I want say that I like him and his music so much,  and here is lyric

The Passenger

Oh where are you going?

Eventually you must come back

How many ignorant people have regretted this

Before you and me

How many overpopulated countries and empty lands have you seen?

How much time have you wasted?

How much have you yet to lose?

Oh emigrant in the country of others

Do you even know what's going on?

Destiny and time follow their course but you ignore it

Why is your heart so sad?

And why are you staying there miserable?

Hardship will end and you no longer learn or build anything

The days don't last, just as your youth and mine didn't

Oh poor fellow who missed his chance just as I missed mine

Oh traveler, I give you a piece of advice to follow right away

See what is in your interest before you sell or buy

Oh sleeper, your news reached me

And what happened to you happened to me

Thus, the heart returns to its creator, the Highest (God)

Hava Nagila / Harry Belafonte

Let's Cheer Up!

Hava Nagila is a Jewish folk song. Generally they sing this song (and dance) when their wedding days, so, it is kind of wedding celebrate song. Nagila Hava mean is  ' Lets Cheer Up' and the song put you’re a better mood.  Melody of song is so familiar to me because in Turkey (as a Muslim country which is generally doesn’t have good feeling about Jewish people) we play same melody when we get married in our wedding celebration ceremony.  So interesting ha ? I mean I believe lots of people who in live Turkey and dance with this song don’t know that they share a custom with Jewish people. I try to came this point people just hate other people without have any information about them. They don’t care about who they are, what they love etc. Governments, countries, or other authorities can do bad things to people, I agree with that but we can’t say that this government has mean political way so whole this people who live that country is mean. No, not this way, at least I don’t believe like that. So we try to figure out them culture, maybe history and see them just independent person without have any bias. At least I see people in this way. 

Nagila Hava Dance

Anyway lets gives some information about song. Ohm Ohm, The melody of Hava Nagila  was taken from a Romanian folk dance-song from Bucovina (a variant of Hora). It uses thePhrygian dominant scale, common in music of Romania. It is perhaps the first modern Israeli folk song in the Hebrew languagethat has become a staple of band performers at Jewish weddings and bar/bat mitzvah celebrations. It was composed in the 1920s in the British Mandate of Palestine, when Hebrew was being revived for the first time as a spoken language in almost 2,000 years (since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE). For the first time, Jews were being encouraged to speak Hebrew as a common language, instead of Yiddish, Arabic, Ladino, or other regional Jewish languages.

Yep, and here is song's lyric

Transliteration	Hebrew text		English translation
Hava nagila	הבה נגילה		Let's rejoice
Hava nagila	הבה נגילה		Let's rejoice
Hava nagila ve-nismeḥa	הבה נגילה ונשמחה		Let's rejoice and be happy
	(repeat)
Hava neranenah	הבה נרננה		Let's sing
Hava neranenah	הבה נרננה		Let's sing
Hava neranenah ve-nismeḥa	הבה נרננה ונשמחה		Let's sing and be happy
	(repeat)
Uru, uru aḥim!	!עורו, עורו אחים		Awake, awake, my brothers!
Uru aḥim be-lev sameaḥ	עורו אחים בלב שמח		Awake my brothers with a happy heart
	(repeat line four times)
Uru aḥim, uru aḥim!	!עורו אחים, עורו אחים		Awake, my brothers, awake, my brothers!
Be-lev sameaḥ	בלב שמח		With a happy heart

Andrea Guerra / Tumbalalaika

Play Your Balalaika

        Such long time ı could not write anything for my lovely blog. I write lots of thing for my other project which is kind of business for me.Actually that's such shame for me, Because I like so much share my music on my blog but I could not find or create time to share something. But I check who visiting my blog. Yeah I saw several country name again ( although I did not shared anyting in recently time). For example today I had so much visitor from Russia when I saw 25 view just from Russia it makes me happy and curious.  And Guess what my today song came from Russia !

          To be honest, my today song decision is not about visitor from Russia, because I decide it before. How can I say I fall in love with this pretty song.  I can feel some pure energy from the song. Of course I don't understand any single word from the song ( except Tumbalalaika) but I feel something what impressed me, I dont know why.I will try to play this song on piano tomorrow. İt such easy to play with piano but so much funny. I can send the notes who looking for piano notes of Tumbalalaika ^^

İs this Russian  Or Not?

            Well, unfortunately, this song is not Russian, I said before the song came from Russia but situation is little bit complex.. Tumbalalaika is a Russian Jewish folk and love song in the Yiddish language. Yiddish Language ?? Yes you heard right. "Yiddish  (English: Judaeo-German) is the historical language of the Ashkenazi Jews. It originated during the 9th century in Central Europe, providing the nascent Ashkenazi community with an extensive Germanic based vernacular fused with elements taken from Hebrew and Aramaic, as well as from Slavic languages and traces of Romance languages. Yiddish is written with a fully vocalized alphabet based on the Hebrew script." as Wikipedi say. ( Sorry, I am so much lazy today I just copy paste )

And finally I will shared song's Yidish, Engilish and Turkish Lyric. I hope you like Tumbalalaika as much as I liked

TUMBALALAIKA ( English)

A young lad stands, and he thinks
Thinks and thinks the whole night through
Whom to take and not to shame
Whom to take and not to shame

((chorus))
Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika
Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika
Tumbalalaika, strum balalaika
Tumbalalaika, may we be happy

Girl, girl, I want to ask of you
What can grow, grow without rain?
What can burn and never end?
What can yearn, cry without tears?

((chorus))

Foolish lad, why do you have to ask?
A stone can grow, grow without rain
Love can burn and never end
A heart can yearn, cry without tears

((chorus))

What is higher than a house?
What is swifter than a mouse?
What is deeper than a well?
What is bitter, more bitter than gall?

((chorus))

A chimney is higher than a house
A cat is swifter than a mouse
The Torah is deeper than a well
Death is bitter, more bitter than gall

((chorus))

P.S : There is other versions of Tumbalalaike. This version use in a movie whic is name  Prendimi l'anima 

Hayedeh / Faryad

There is nothing to say anymore... But..

They are not numbers, they are lifes, they are stroies,.!

Today a bomb exploded in my city, İstanbul. Before Ankara .. Believe me I dont know what to say. I'm just so much sad because of all this thing. I'm not a kind of political person. I even dont like talk about politics. Not my style. But I'm in full of sick. I mean, I am afraid that one day me or one of person who I know gonna die because of nothing! And I know nowadays lots of person feel exactly like that in this area. But unfortunately there is nothing so much to do. Maybe we share someting on social media to sharing our sadness ( and also this is not kind of my style) and of course praying for died people and rest of us.

'Turkey is a one of middle east country, So not big deal'

I heard somethings like that quite recently. Yeah , I know this geography is never be one of peace land on earth but again this things what recently happend is big deal, at least for me. I dont wanna get used to this attacks. I dont know Turkey is one of a European country of A Middle east country. And already this words just  rubish . Both of side is deadly . İn a political way, if you say I'm at Middle side, you will lost your life, or you say I'm at European side most likely you will lost your Humanity...So I think both of side is deadly as much as each other.

Summary I'm so much sad. For Turkey, For Middle East Country For European Country... All of us as a civil public.. we are lose... one of us lose life's one of us lose meaning of life, humanity. I just dont want to heard any single innoncent person is died news , no matter which part from the world

So I think 'Faryad (Cry)' is relevant for today ?

Pallett - Mr. Violet - Baz Baran

We share same feelings but in different words

After a long time, I'm back and I finally wrote something. I know for such a long time I did not write anything. But I had reasons for this situation. Depression, working, and again depression... But I got over all tough times. I hope I will have more good time than my past. But my biggest problem was that I could not decide what I supposed to share. I had to share something, I mean song, that it should be more special than I shared ones until this time. Something really different, something, really from me. And suddenly I heard this song ( thanks to my younger sis) and I said ' yeah this is exactly what I want to share.

Azerbaijani, Armenian, Kurdish, Persian..

First part of the song is kurdish ( and also kurdish is my second mother language :) second part of song is persian. You can heard this song in armenian, Azerbaijani and (you can't believe but ) even in Greece. Actually this is what I really try to do with my blog. You know we lived lots of historical things in this area ( Turkey, Armenia Azerbaijan,Persian Iraq..) I called old Mesopotamia. We are still same people, we are share same history, same feelings same pains and same songs... We are not different. And I think we have to keep trying to remember our comman culture and music is the best way to remember of this.

For today thats all from me,

Please write me back whatever you want

I love you all :) 

Mohsen Namjoo / Ey Sareban

Mohsen Namjoo.. Ey Sareban... Such a tough thing what talking about this lovely song. I have lots of thing to say, on the other hand I am in full of silence. I mean that words is meaningless in the face of this song. But I have to try saying something about it. I think, I should talk about Mohsen Namjoo firstly..

'Some call him a sort of Bob Dylan of Iran'

Bob Dylan of İran ? Yeah, but these are not my words (Also, as I have just read he dont like this comparison) The New York Time compare Mohsen with Bob Dylan. And I think, their life stories look like each other in some ways. But today I gonna talk about Namjoo, Not Dylan ( Sorry Bob but You know that I love you too:) )
Mohsen Namjoo is an Persian musician, singer-songwriter. His style of music is influenced by Blues and Rock as well as Iranian folk music.The lyrics of his songs are also odd combination of Persian classical poems, his own lyrics, and contemporary poems. His life story is so interesting as much as his music style. He was born in 1976 in Torbat-e Jam, a small town in northeastern Iran. He was starting interested in with Iranian poem and music when he was a child. But he has a traditional conservative family, firs time of his music career , his family did not support that about going to Tehran University Faculty Of Fine Arts. But he gone and get studied music.
But his university life did not take to long time.The third year of his university life, he was fired from university because of his unusual music style. But this was not the end of his story ,contrarily this is kinda begining of his story. After all this thing he create his own music. There is one more thing about his life, particularly I want to share with you.

  Love you Namjoo, Keep fighting !

In 2006 the Iranian judicial system sentenced Namjoo in absentia to a five-year jail term for allegedly ridiculing the ash-Shams, surah of the Quran, in his song "Shams" Mohsen apologized as formal way but İranian government did not accept his apology. I dont know exactly how but the conviction of Mohsen Namjoo did not took place. There is a something we have to focus on. A person who create a new music style in own way. And he used a Quran's Surah his own music. Think about that ' Why a person use something what he did not care in his own work?" I tried to find Shams English or Turkish Lyric but I could not. So I'm not sure What he say about these Surah. But, in a good way or bad way he must study on this Surah to use and also lots of person whole over the world hear this Surah thanks to Mohsen. Recently we are who called ownself muslim believer even did not open the Quran cover, he study on these Surah and reach lots of persons. Summarize, I love you Namjoo, Keep fighting !

Ey Sareban

There are more things that talking about Mohsen but I think I have to pass the song; Ey sareban. Actually it is a poem what written by Rahim Moeini Kermanshahi and Kouros Sarhang Zadeh used this poem in song form at movie of Leyli and Majnoon before Mohsen Namjoo. Believe me Mohsen Namjoo version is best one ever. Finally here is Ey sareban lyric in English

Oh you cameller

Oh you cameller, oh you caravan! Where are you taking my Leili( My lover)? 
As you take my Leili with you, you take my heart and my soul along, 
Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? 
Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? 

As we avowed our love, no one witnessed but our Lord, 
As long as this world is revolving, may our love live, 
Oh you cameller, oh you caravan! Where are you taking my Leili( My lover)? 
As you take my Leili with you, you take my heart and my soul along, 
Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? 
Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? 

All the religion I prtacticed, in this mortal world, turned into a sprickel of love, annd that became my living, 
How good it is to shed a tear in the memory of a lover, how good it is to live, as you are burning with love, 
O,G-d, I pray to you so thay always love stays in the hearts, as ours do
Because the story of Leili and Majnoon[ the Easten legendary lovers] become a fiction, but ours becomes immortal, 

Why you are running away from my love now? Why you are not reading the signs of dispair through my eyes? 
The way I feel sad you have no clue, 
I will not survive after you I swear to G-d, (so) stay and confi8rm the death of my heart and then leave, 
As a mighty storm, pick the flower of my being from the branches of sorrow and leave, 
Because I am that one tree that stays in the way of strom, 
The same tree whose branches are all broken by the anger of nature, 

Oh you cameller, oh you caravan! Where are you taking my Leili( My lover)? 
As you take my Leili with you, you take my heart and my soul along, 
Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? 
Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you?

Azam Ali / Nami Nami

Little bit sleep, don't hurt anyone

I could not write anything for such a long time! İt was a kind of break for me. Because of my exam week ( and I'm still in) I could not do anything. Just study, study and more study. But I'm REALLY boring. Somehow, my right now mood not depend on my exams. I dont know why but I feel exhausting in emotional way. Summary, I want a real break. So, as a first step, I can sleep and sleep again, believe me, I really need it.

I guess, because of my recently mood I am listening this song over and over again. Nami Nami is an Arabic lullaby. İt means ' Sleep Sleep'. Thanks to Azam Ali, I learned the lullaby. But believe me Azam Ali cover is better in all version. Niyaz ( Azam Ali soloist) and Azam Ali's other group members are Persian. Clearly Azam's Arabic pronunciation is not very well but still better version ever.

Swing (2002)

Generally I learn new songs from movies but this time I learn a new movie thanks to Nami Nami song. 'Swing' is a French film by Tony Gatlif, released in 2002. Unfortunately I have no any special information or impression about the movie because I don't watch Swing yet. But I will. I have just watched one part of movie what Nami Nami has sung by Hayat Ayad and I am really impressed.

Here is Synopsis of Swing

Max, an only child, is about ten years old. He becomes an avid fan of gypsy jazz the day he hears the virtuoso guitar player Miraldo strumming the chords. This music becomes his passion and leads him to the gypsy section of town where he buys an old guitar. While taking guitar lessons with Miraldo, Max discovers a whole new world, including Swing, a gypsy girl his age. They become fast friends. Swing's unusual self-assurance and animal magnetism enthrall Max. But Swing has a big surprise in store for her friend, one that turns Max's world upside down and throws him headlong into his first crush.

Mah Ensemble / Az Kafam Raha

Last song of this year...

I dont know why but I listened this song today over and over . Yes, today we close 2015 and tomorrow is a new year. New year is like a empty page. Yes I hope, next year will be the one of best year for all of us. But ending is ending. So maybe we should think about something about our life and change before the new year. At least we should try. Anyway this thing what I said until the this moment not about the my today song ' Az Kafam Raha'

Here is Song's Engilish Lyric what Translate by me . İt means please forgive my poor Engilish :)) 

The heart wants what the heart wants

I lost my heart's control

My heart decision is not depend on me

My heart has gone and did not turn back wherever it has gone

My eyes became blind due to waiting for my heart

I am miserable

My life's biggest problem is myself

Your love is my relagion, my ritual

Grief ,trouble, pain whatever give me

About sacrificing ownself, I am better than Ferhat ( İt about one eastern tale character)

My lover who has gone from beside of me

You are my spring, you are my garden

İf I am a thorn in my lover’s rose garden, there is a great spring in my inside

Ey! Arif ( there is poet talking with ownself)

How long with this meaningless words ?

Even a lion is powerless about heart hunting

My heart's blood run off from my eyes

But I'm glad with my heart's suicide

You who passing from my side

You are unwary of my miserable situation

You taking my memories from my heart

As a final world, please click for song's Turkish lyric

Ahraz / Senden Mene Yar Olmaz

End of the story

An Azerbaijan song. I said 'End of the story' as title of this content. sometimes we have to make a desicion between our heart or rationality. I think this song about it. Girl who sing the song know that man who she loved is not right guy. Man gonna hurt her again. But she still want to him in her life. in spite of man's whole mistake she want to make up with the guy. She still in hope and wait. İs that end of story ? or story have just begun. This totaly about girls desicion and also man.

I have a few Azerian friend. Thanks to them I learn lots of beautiful Azerian song. I think Azerian guys is good with the make a music. Two years ago, one of person in my life was said me ' Azerian guys really good in the music and specially piano area. One day, İf you, wants take piano courses, you should take this course from an Azerian guy.' Sumary, I like azerbaijan songs, he was right.
I have no special information about singer, but in below, I'll give a link for another version of ' Senden bana yar olmaz'

Nim Soyan Version

Mariam Matossian / Hars Em Knoom

Time can frozen ?

For today, my answer will be ' yes'. I do not know why but I think time is like frozen for me and I stuck in a moment of life. Some Things are changing. But somehow, at the end of story, I find out myself at the beginning. And then new stories, new period but same ending. İt is now becoming very exhausting. I wanna change all this things and find new path to walk. İn summary, I feel little bit blue today.

Thanks to my blue mood, I decided to share this marvelous song. 'Hars em Knoom' or 'I'm Marrying.'

This is one of Mariam Matossian song.  The song's language is Armenian. As can be understood, Mariam Matossian is a musician specialising in Armenian folk music. She is Armenian but she was born and raise in Canada. And clearly she has so much soft voice that can touch your heart. After listening this lovely song, unfortunately, I'm not feel beter. Therefore this is enough for this day

Take care yourself!

Lizeta Kalimeri & Sokratis Malamas / Salomi

Dont understand ,Try to Feel

Today we gonna talk about 'Salomi.' this song is full of melancholy.it can find out your deepest sadness in your heart. I can't understand even one word in the song. But somehow I can understand what they say. İnfact, I feel the story. I think this is a power of music. We share the same feel but in different words.

Salomi is a Greek song what singing by Lizeta Kalimeri & Sokratis Malamas. Actually, I have no more information about song and singers. I heard 'Salomi' one of lovely Tumblr blog. He was said " I guess, I fall in love with this song." one of other ınternet user was said that " Dude; I cannot understand an even single word in this song. But even if it talks about a shopping list, I will continue to listening"

Lastly, if there is a someone who can help us understand what they say in the song, please contact me !

Edit: I come cross with a Turkish translate,(Burcu Arı Translate from youtube ) and I try to translate from Turkish to English .. Here you are :) 

Ayın gümüşü / The silver of the moon dar yolların çakıllarını aydınlatırken / When light up the narrow path's stone Vahsi anna / Vahsi Anna fotis olarak uyandı ve başladı / Wake up as Fotis and start şarkısını yazmaya / to write own song Ayağa kaltı ve dans etti / She stand up and dance ve büyüledi tüm erkekleri / and she impressed all man o dans çemberinde / in the dance circle Ve foti nin kalbi / and Foti's heart bir kağıt gibi yanacak / will burn like a paper Eğer salome ağlarsa / if salome crys Affediciliğin tutkusunda / in the passion of the forgiveness Onun günahları affedilecek / His sins will be forgiven fakat tacında / but in his diadem kan ve yakut / blood and ruby birbirinin içine girecek / Wil be mixed

Souad Massi / Raoui

  Oh, Storyteller, Tell Us A Story

Today , I would prepared to tell another song but I change my decide this morning. This day I'm gonna talk about Souad Massi's fabulous song ; Raoui. But first thing first, I want to share with you why I changed my mind.

Two days that we have left behind is very odd. ( Maybe, odd is not the fit for this situation but I could not find a word to better description). One day you wake up and people who around you, television, social media, I mean, all media channel talk about War III possibility. Look like that two war is not enough for human being in history. Already lots of people from whole over the world died or still dying. But I said this is not enough, we need more and more. Also ,weirdest part of this situation is that all this person killed/ or died for better world, peace, or democracy..İt seems that democracy should be machine what work with innocence human blood. Because I cannot see any logical reason for world right now situation.

Anyway I'm not a politican or someone like that. I hope everything will be okey for my country and for all world. I'm passing my today song; Raoui.  Raoui is the one of incredible song of Massi. She has a lots of amazing song and I love all of them. İn the next days I will talk about them. Belive or not, I met with Massi's songs because of a war.

Because of a war ?

Let me tell you the story. it is not complicated. I heard one of souad massi song in a cafe at kadıköy. untill this moment is everything usual . I learned this cafe one of my friend's Tunisian friend. This cafe name is Arthere İstanbul. the cafe run by Syrian artist. Cafe's Owner is Omer. He is a Syrian Photographer. The cafe is also art a gallery and you can meet with lots of painter at Arthere. All lovely person who create Arthere came from Syria and this is and of story .Anyway if you learn more About Arthere I'll give a link in below.




The Dictator 

Finally, I want to talk about a movie ; The Dictator. Clearly the movie is not one of my favorite. But in some way, it is worthwhile to watch and The Raoui is playing one part of the movie. Most probably best part . But my favorite part is that "main characters describing dictatorship". Somehow this description is very familiar. And this is that description of dictatorship;

"You could let one percent of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes and bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests"
