Learn Turkish with Turkish Songs-2; Karadeniz Türküsü (Blacksea Folkloric Song)



After your request for more "türkü":) I'm adding another one from a film; Av Mevsimi. Personally I like to listen to turkus with only one instrument or just natural voice. Therefore I'm sharing this one there is no instrument then audience using cutlery to make rhythm! Name of the turku is "Haydee" Come on=Haydi. This is a Black sea region turku (Karadeniz türküsü) written by Kazım Koyuncu, therefore again there are different accents and spellings, don't focus on these too much. Like Fatmagul's turku this one is also great scene full of joy. Enjoy!
PS: Don't worry about vowel harmony as there isn't on this one.
For instance it says elun instead of elin;
sevdami instead of sevdamı etc.


Conversation;
-Mustafa Abi
...
-Ulan deli, ulan deli..


Haydi millet!
Bir iki, üç (1,2,3) Haydeee..

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
