Does anybody out there happen to have sheet music and/or lyrics for the Turkish song Ninni?
Thanks!

In my search, I've found a bunch of songs with this name. So, to clarify, here is a link to the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRgVirCTl1A
Not sure if I actually need the sheet music, because it just sounds like a call and response type of thing between the singer and the oud, in which
the oud part is improvised (is there a name for this style?). But the words--yup, I really would like to get those.
I almost hate posting the link, because I just hate the way they messed with this song. The original is simply perfect (my favorite Hrant
performance, and probably one of my very favorite songs by anybody). This remix is miserable (sorry out here if anybody is responsible for this
video, but, seriously--there is no way this remix compares to the original).
Thanks!

Hi Jonathan!
I don't know turkish, but I have a student who does. I can ask!
But what is it that you need? The actual words in turkish? or a translation?
About the style, I would say this is a Mawal, in its usual traditional way

Just the Turkish words. That would really be great.
I love this song so much.

Ne olur uyanma
Lütfen uyanma
...mutluyken umutsuzlar rüyalarda
Ne olur uyanma.bebeðim uyanma
...mutluyken uykusuzlar rüyalarda
Kayboluyorken ben kollarýnda
...dur, yapma!Dur, yapma! Dur, uyandýrma!
Aðlýyorken ben... ben kollarýnda
...susturma.Dur yapma! Ne olur susturma!
This is the lyrics of Ninni Jonathan..enjoy

Thanks a lot for going through the trouble, damascene--
Unfortunately, this is for a different song with the same name.
