Hi,

Does anyone have the lyrics from Emin Gunduz's version of 'Oy farfara farfara?'

hi mav,

i don't have the lyrics - but i sat and listened...i think this is a slightly 'naughty' set of lyrics of a song called 'daracik daracik sokaklar', also called misket. again, fragments of other songs are stitched up and 'repackaged'. these 'adespota'/anonymous songs usually have no continuity or sense! here's what i get - there is one line i cannot make out...the second verse is the same with the substitution of 'izmir' for 'buradan' (i travelled to many lands, but there is no greater beauty thatn izmir's'!



cami'nin muezzini yok
ici'nin duzeni yok
cok memleket gezdim
buradan guzelligi yok

oy farfara farfara
ates dustu salvara
agzim dilim kuruldu
kiz yalvar yalvara

daracik daracik sokaklar
kizlar findik heykelar
kizlar …..
kocaman kocaman karilar

camin'in……..
ici…
cok…
izmir'den guzelligi yok
...

Thanks Costa!

I was able to piece together a few things too, listening to the recording and using lyrics I found online. But you're right, this is a unique version, though honestly, my favorite. :)



Thanks again,
