◊ ‘Bulbul olsam varsam yanina’ ↓
Every morning I warble my rose
If only I’d be a seagull, fly away over the seas
If I sailed into the wind, I’d reach the dawn with every stroke of my wings» Ben bir bülbül olsam – Ötsem bahçelerde
Her türkümde yaksam – Adını üzerine
Her sabah şakırım gülüm – Gülüm nina ninay nay Ben bir bülbül olsam – Ötsem bahçelerde
Her türkümde yaksam – Adını üzerine
Her sabah şakırım gülüm – Gülüm nina ninay nay Ben bir martı olsam – Uçsam denizlere
Ruzgârlara açsam – Giderim sehere
Her kanadımı çarpışla – Gülüm nina ninay nay…

Bulutların üstünden – Bıraktım ben kendimi
Sonunu düşünmeden – Duygular sarınca beniGizlice tuttum elini – Yüzüne baktım usulca
Gözlerin fısıldadı ah – Mutluluğu yavaşçaÇiçeklerin kokusu – Dalgaların şarkısı
Rüzgarın fısıltısı – Bir sana bir de bana Bahçede hanımeli – Gökyüzünde yıldızlar
Yağmurun narin sesi – Şimdi bir anlamı varAşk nasıl da kırılgan – Sus dedim ama olmadıKalbimden ismin geçti ah – Kimseler duymadıÇiçeklerin kokusu – Dalgaların şarkısıRüzgarın fısıltısı – Bir sana bir de bana
-English translation:
Over the clouds – I left myselfWithout thinking of the end – When feelings surrounded me
Secretly I held your handGently I looked up in your faceYour eyes whispered, ahhh, The happiness in silenceSmell of flowers – Songs of wavelets
And utterance of windOne for you, One for meHoneysuckles in the garden – Stars in the sky
Tender voice of the Rain, All means something now
How delicate is LoveI said «shut up», but it won’t do
My heart mentioned your name – Alas, Nobody noticed

honey , since i broke up with you it has been quite a long time – come back , come back…look at my tears falling down from my eyes – they became a stream – come back , come back…is that OK to sulk and go to leave the guy that dies for you
it became illgotten to eat or drink – the whole world tumbled down on me
come back , come back…the guy that dies for you looks forward to meeting – meeting and hearing about you
hurry up to lay me to rest – the guy that dies for you has really died
come back , come back…

← Lost Songs of Anatolia [by Nezih Ünen]
A musical voyage among the exotic places and people of Anatolia, which is the unique host of ancient civilizations, empires, as well as mythologies, and the glory of 10 millennia. With 350 hours of footage and 8 years of hard labor and creative studies, The Lost Songs of Anatolia may be the first of its kind; an experimental musical-documentary. The cultural riches of Anatolia are sung in authentic performances recorded live on location, spontaneously. With modern arrangements, an incomparable musical is formed.
Nezih Ünen was born and lived in Bursa, Turkey until the age of 18 when he moved to Istanbul for college. During his school years, he had a keen interest in music and photography. Throughout his engineering education at the Bosporus University, he took part in music and drama, as well as a number of photography exhibitions. After receiving his degree, Ünen decided to pursue a career in music. Driven by an urge to explore new ideas rather than being confined to any one specific area of expertise, he captured a unique way in which to blend different musical cultures and styles in most of his works.
