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)

Deniz Tekin / Ayrılık

I know such long time I did not write anything on my blog. To be honest, ı was give up to keep a blog. But last night ı opened my blog (actually not only blog but also my PC) and ı check how many people still keep going to visit Hudebes and then I got shock. Because there are lots of people who is still look my blog. İt made me so much happy.

And then I decide write a new content.  After a long time I share a new song which is name 'Ayrılık' (Separation) I dont know lots of things about the singer, Deniz Tekin. Nowadays her songs cover is so much famous in Turkey. The song, Ayrılık is an Azerbaijan traditional song. I already like it so much before, but this version is amazing.

I hope you like this song as much as me :)

and here is English lyric of the song

Because of thoughts, I cant sleep at nights

I cant get this idea out of my mind

But, I cant get angry with you either

Separation, separation, oh separation

Worse than all other pains, separation

Dark nights are long because of separation

I dont know where I am at nights

Nights have wounded my heart

Separation, separation, oh separation

Worse than all other pains, separation

Love you All ^^

Niyaz / Parishaan

My love when will you arrive ?

Time is really flying. I cant understan how  time passed from I start write my first content to now such fastly. Azam Ali / Niyaz was my first singer/ group which I shared with you. ( and dont get alarmed this is not last one:)) I said this thing beacuse this song was I would decied shared with you as first content but then I change my desicion and shared other one. Every song has time I guess and today time of Parhishaan.

Parhishaan is about patiently wait story. waiting for someone or someting in patient. İt hard to describe such stong emotion as word. İmage that you wait sometin/ someone but you have no much hope but you wait again and you feel so much tired because of whole waiting thing. I dont know is this write or wrong. I mean maiting is good but sometime. Because life is gone and we cant turn any moment back. But again one way or another we wait someting. But someone us wait from future wait from a new people, new places and new feeling. On the other hand some on else wait from back, past old people and lost times. I was like that I mean I was wait from past a few mounth ago. But ı change my side and I feel better now.

Well well I think I shoul said someting about Niyaz but I already talk about them my before content. But I can say summery they are amazing group from Persian. And I love her so much.  and here is spng lyric and english translate.

 پریشان

مرا نه سر نه سامان آفریدند
پریشانم پریشان آفریدند
پریشان خاطر ان رفتند در خاک
مرا از خاک ایشان آفریدند

عزیزم کی می‌آیی ، کی می‌آیی
ندارم طاقت یک دم جدایی

خوشا آنان که سودای تو دارند
که سر پیوسته در پای تو دارند

به دل دارم تمنای کسانی
که اندر دل تمنای تو دارند

اگر زرین کلاهی عاقبت هیچ
به تخت پادشاهی عاقبت هیچ
گرت ملک سلیمان در نگین است
در آخر خاک راهی عاقبت هیچ

Heartsick

I came into this world with no possessions

Awarded only a yearning heart*

All those who came before me have returned to the dust

And it is from this dust which I have been created

O beloved, when will you arrive, when will you arrive?

I cannot bear one moment of this separation

Lucky are those who are on your path

Lucky are those who place their head at your feet

I am even willing to surrender my heart

To those whose hearts hold your love

Even if you have a crown and sit at a throne

In the end you will have nothing

Even if you are destined for great riches**

In the end you will return to the dust

*The word پریشان (parišān/parishaan) can mean a few different things - distressed, miserable, heartsick, distraught. Therefore, I thought 'Heartsick' made for an apt title.
** I think Azam is talking about Suleiman the Magnificent here, Great Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, referring to his immense wealth.

PS; if you used blogspot most probably you know that bloger can see visiters country. Every mounth I have visitor from different part of world. Russia, U.S France , İsrail, Poland, Morocco,German, İndia and more and more and lastly ı see some person visit from Uganda yeah this made me so much happy :) I wish I realy know you who you are.

Lena Chamamyan / Lamma Bada Yatathana

Like An Old Arabian Fairy tale...

An ancient Andalusian song....singing by Lena Chamamyan. This songs really impressed me. I mean , as if it had been came from 1001 Night Fairy Tales.  There is such storng power, the song had. Before, I had already interest with arabic culture and songs but after I started take arabic course, my interest grew day by day. Actually my origin came from Egytp ( Dad, side not mom) maybe this interested thing can relative with my origin, I dont know... :)

Today I'm gonna focus on the song, not singer because I already talk abaout Lena Chamamyan in my one of old content. I'm searched someting about the song but sadly I could not find so much thing about the song . Lamma Bada Yatathana (لما بدا يتثنى) is and old Andalusian  song, like I said before. The song writer is  İbn Baya ( but this is not clear) and song have various cover, so much famous between Mediterranean Countries. As final information I found one of version what singing in Spanish,( my source said Spanish but I am not sure, because it sound like Greece) Hebraic and Arabic. And I want to share this version also,

Here he comes (muswashah) Lamma Bada - Bustan Abraham

And Finally here is the Lyric in Engilish;

When she started to walk with a swinging gait
aman aman aman aman
her beauty amazed me
aman aman aman aman

I have become prisoner of her eyes
aman aman aman aman
her stem folded as she bent
aman aman aman aman

O my promise, O my perplexity,
who can answer my complaint
about love and suffering
but the beautiful one?
aman aman aman aman
about love and suffering
but the beautiful one?
aman aman aman aman

Souad Massi / Hayati

Oh My Lovely Souad Massi

Such a pretty song,.. actually all of this woman songs is perfect. she also have French songs. But today I gonna talk about Hayati. Actually I dont know why I choosed Hayati. I was little bit confused about what I should share as a next content. But suddenly I decided on Hayati.

My Life..

'Hayati' ( حياتي) means ' My life'. Maybe reason is this. Quite recently, I all the time thinking about my life. I mean my past. Why all this things happen to me ? really whats wrong with me ? I cant stop thinking about all this things what happen in last 4 month. Anyway, I have to forget somethings, and forgive someones. Therefore, I can smile again.

I know, I did not talk about Who is Massi, where is she from, what is special about her... İn another songs of Souad Massi, I will tell everything about her.

Finally here is Engilish lyric of song

My Life

How much of a book I have read
How much of tales I have been told
I asked who tried
They left nothing but empty lines

I didn't know the way to sun
And the flowers wilted in spring
I find prison in every home
The bird I've sent returned back to me

I am living in a dream
one time we believe and sometimes not
They told me everything will be dicovered by time
Who sell dreams let me know

The truth can't be seen from lies
except what is high on mountains
Sun sets in morning

They covered the sun for me by the riddle

Rainfalls doesn't extinguish,
The burning fire inside of me
My tears are not enough
No one knows of me but God

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.
