  • Vocals & arrangement by Farya Faraji. This is a Turkish folk song covered by many Turkish artists throughout the years. I wanted my arrangement to be a mixture of a deeply Anatolian folk sound with more recent Western influences, therefore there is a kopuz and a ney, a very folk, esoteric and Sufi-reminiscent combination in tandem with a Western chord progression that has come to characterise more modern pop-arrangements of Turkish folk music. The maqam of the song is Huseyni, identical to the Western Aeolian with the difference of a microtonal second interval.
    Lyrics in Turkish:
    Dam Üstüne Çul Serer Loyluda Yar,
    Leylide Yar, Loy Loy Loy
    Bilmem Bu Kimi Sever Halelim
    Nennide Kınalım Nennide, Belalım Nennide Nenni
    Bunun Bir Sevdiği Var
    Loyluda Yar, Leylide Yar, Loy Loy Loy
    Günde On Çeşit Geyer Halelim
    Nennide Kınalım Nennide, Belalım Nennide Nenni
    Şunu Bana Verseler Loyluda Yar,
    Leylide Yar, Loy Loy Loy
    Cihana Bildirseler Halelim
    Nennide Kınalım Nennide, Belalım Nennide Nenni
    Gitsem Yarin Yanına Loyluda Yar,
    Leylide Yar, Loy Loy Loy
    Sabahtan Öldürseler Halelim
    Nennide Kınalım Nennide, Belalım Nennide Nenni
    Ağ Daşı Kaldırsalar Loyluda Yar,
    Leylide Yar, Loy Loy Loy
    Yılanı Öldürseler Halelim
    Nennide Kınalım Nennide, Belalım Nennide Nenni
    Küçükten Yar Seveni Loyluda Yar,
    Leylide Yar, Loy Loy Loy
    Cennete Gönderseler Halelim
    Nennide Kınalım Nennide, Belalım Nennide Nenni
    As often with Turkish folk songs, the esoteric and metaphorical nature of the language makes translation difficult and hard to come by, so if anyone can offer a proper translation instead of whatever mangled one I can offer, it would be very appreciated.

    As a Turk, I can say that Farya is just like a "folk poet".

  • @umut3653

    Yeah, as a professional translator and language teacher, I would love to see someone attempt to translate this one without destroying the original text. There are numerous words like 'leyli' and 'nenni' in this song, which only have meaning in folk songs and not in daily life. I'm not even sure how I would translate these two words. 'Leyli' is derived from the root 'Leyla,' from the story of 'Leyla and Mecnun,' two legendary lovers. It is used to express grief and sadness related to romantic relationships. 'Nenni,' literally coming from the same root as 'ninni,' meaning lullaby, is used in folk songs to lull children or grown ups to sleep. Mothers usually say 'Neen neen neen' in rhythm to lull their babies to sleep. Because it produces a relaxing sound to soothe someone.

    • @fuferito
      @fuferito Před 4 měsíci +20

      Italian and Turkish couldn't be more different, yet the Italian word for lullaby is _ninnananna;_ remarkably similar to Turkish.

    • @umut3653
      @umut3653 Před 4 měsíci +17

      ​@@fuferito That is so cool! As far as I know, the word 'ninni' has no roots. It must be a made-up word by kids, and until a certain age, kids make similar sounds no matter where they live. This phenomenon is called 'canonical babbling.' Words like papa, mama, dada, etc. are also common in multiple languages.

    • @KushinadaKai
      @KushinadaKai Před 4 měsíci +9

      I think "leyli" most likely used as "beautiful like a night" it is an Arabic origin word. One of my teachers once explained that the chorus "Leyli de yar, loylu da yar / Loy, loy, loy," translates to "fair-haired and faithful." Telling a story of love between lovers in rural Turkish settings. Choice of words and lore behind was also beautiful.
      it's just sad there are many incredible works in past, that were especially popular in Selda Bağcan and other incredible artists era but nowadays started to be forgotten. Anatolian rock project or other similar ones tried to rekindle the love, but it seems sadly not succeed at all.

    • @nikitsir11
      @nikitsir11 Před 4 měsíci +5

      That's really interesting. In Greek, mothers sing "nani, nani" (nanourisma) to babies, and "nani" is the kids' word for sleep.

    Have you ever thought of singing a 'Yemeni folk song'? This folk song is an elegy about the Ottoman soldiers who went to Yemen and did not come back. You sang this folk song so beautifully that I'm sure you can sing the Yemeni folk song very beautifully too.

    Hey Farya I love this song, I was wondering if you could do a piece reconstruction relating to the Bengal Sultanate or possibly something representing Bengali culture. The Bengal province was known as the jewel of the Mughal Empire, the most prized portion of the Mughals, the British, and was often the house of the subcontinent’s academic/artistic intellectuals.
