Fatmagulun Sucu Ne Episode 32, Kerim and Fatmagul's Song




Amazing last scene of Fatmagulun sucu ne episode 32. For Turkish Learners it would be a difficult one to understand as the pronunciation is a bit different with Aegean accent. But nice clip to show Turkish way of entertainment, sitting by the table with your friends and singing local songs among the group. Below including the Fatmagul's Last Scene Turkish song lyrics. This is an Aegean folkloric song (Ege Türküsü).

As one difference in the song "my women" ="kadınım" is said here as "gadınım"
The structure; Öleyim, Gideyim, olayım is I shall die, I shall go, I shall be.
The other one dursam, yuğsam; I wish I stop etc.
mersin here is no the city but the herb that grows in Aegean.
bi danem is "bir tanem" means my only one

Evlerinin Önü Mersin, Turkish Lyrics

Evlerinin önü mersin
Ah sular içmem gadınım tersin tersin
Mevlâ'm seni bana versin

Al hançerini kadınım vur ben öleyim
Ah kapınızda bi danem, kul ben olayım

Evlerinin önü susam
Ah su bulsam da gadınım çevremi yuğsam
Açsam yüzünü baksam dursam

Al hançerini kadınım vur ben öleyim
Ah kapınızda bi danem, kul ben olayım

Binbir gece masalı gibisin
Oyunun içinde oyunların var
Gel memleket meselesi değil aşk
Gel memleket meselesi değil aşk
İnsan unutur her şeyi her an
Kor hançeri yüreğini dağlar
Ömrün sonu kelebek gibidir
Göz açıncaya bitecek bir gün
Aşk kalbinin değerini anlar


Bu mudur, budur
Yürek her şeyi sana buyurur
Yut gel yeminlerini
Banane aşk mesele
Bu mudur dokunmadan
Aşk lütfen doyurur
Kalp kalbe karşı değil
Kimene aşk mesele

Turkish Lessons-2


Never Say "tesekkurler" in Turkey unless you want to starve!

Underlying meanings of words

this lens's photo
Dictionaries are good but every time you look up for a word, do they give what we need, not necessarily. It's not possible to find the cultural aspect or underlying meaning of the words and sentences this way. Here I disclose one, very important one. That would help you not to end up with no food when you are speaking in Turkish. 

Direct Translation is not always a great idea

What not to say!


One mistake we all do directly translating a sentence or a word. Being a bit more specific here, someone or a waiter asks you whether you want coffee,tea or food.
