Turkish lyrics request

Jonathan - 5-21-2005 at 06:48 AM

I am not sure if anybody can help me on this or not, but I thought I would give it a shot. I am looking for the Turkish lyrics for the following 4 songs.
Be Gece (Not the Tarkan song, but the old song that Udi Hrant and a lot of others have done).
Sut Ictim Dilim Yandi
Ekinim Harmonim Yok
Oglan Oglan
I have tried all the Turkish music sites I know of, and can't find them. Oglan I have kind of got just from listening to the song so many times, but I am sure that I am making mistakes.
If anybody is interested, the following free site have tons of free Turkish sheet music:
http://www.turkuler.com/nota/turkuler.asp
http://www.geocities.com/cerdanos
http://www.neyzen.com/nota_arsivi.htm
http://www.turkudostlari.net/mod.asp?x=2
Thanks!

Jonathan,

The "Süt ictim dilin yandi" song is actually on the "turkudostlari" site, but it is spelled with the umlaut u.
From their main page, under "turku notalasi" go the 11th page of the letter "s". This song is listed near the bottom of that page. Both notes and lyrics are available.

"oglan oglan" is supposed to be on the Traditional crossroads CD of his, but I do not have that. It may give the lyrics.

The rest of teh songs you are looking for I have not found yet either.

Hope this helps.

Béla

Here are the words for Hrant's beautiful song:

Makam: Karcihar
Usulu: Aksak 9/8
By Udi Hrant

BU GECE CAMLARDA KALSAK NE OLUR (ne olur ne olur)
FELEKTEN BIR GECE CALSAK NE OLUR (ne olur ne olur)
DENIZE MEHTABA DALSAK NE OLUR (ne olur ne olur)
FELEKTEN BIR GECE CALSAK NE OLUR (ne olur ne olur)

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it. I really don't know Turkish, and trying to do this by what my ears hear just isn't doing it.
Dincer, it is beautiful. I can't figure out why it has not been re-issued. His playing and voice are just so perfect. That album has a couple of other Hrant tracks that are just so great: Ninni, Hijzan Aschmish Sinemi (I am sure that the spellings are wrong). I hope somebody gets around to putting it out on cd. Thanks again.

Thanks for the makam--It is on nota arsiva

I was looking under the wrong makam.

Neyzen.com gives the sarki composed by a nother composer with Armenian heritage: ARTAKI CANDAN (TERZIYAN) not Oudi Hirant. I was surprised. I checked and it is correct. The song belongs to Artaki Candan Terziyan. He was a kanoon player (1885-1948)

Thanks for the info, Dincer. I sent Mike Hrant's version of Bu Gege, and it is on the mp3 page.
