One of most acclaimed songs by Musa Eroglu, the great Turkish master of music from the "aşık" tradition. See this Wikipedia article and this Wikipedi (Turkish) article for more about Eroglu. A website claiming to be the official website for Eroglu is here. If you really want to listen to him, see how he does it, then here are some links from YouTube. There are many others, please experiment. These are some that I found quickly and liked. Every performance is different. See how he sweats? Things are not as easy as they may seem!
- Musa Eroğlu: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds47nCZxEkQ.
- Yavuz Bingöl: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM2d62vJgB4, a different intepretation from this master musician.
- Kubat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPThYaJrUI. I liked the music, especially the bağlama.
- Then, there is my impression of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y1uHzbuZc0. It is a home recording, done haphazardly and under less than ideal conditions. So, please be forgiving.
Original lyrics in Turkish:
===============================
Telli turnam selam götür
Sevdiğimin diyarına
Üzülmesin ağlamasın
Belki gelirim yarına cananıma
Hasret kimseye kalmasın
Sevdalılar ayrılmasın
Ben yandım eller yanmasın
Sevdanın aşkın narına canıma
Gönüle hasret yazıldı
Sevgiye mezar kazıldı
İki damla yaş süzüldü
Gözlerimin pınarına
===============================
