@Love1Cuba I don't stray very far from this music either. We have something in common. Let's celebrate the fact.

ahh nice song!!!!!!!!!veryyy gooooooddd

[hellenic81]

the lyrics refer to a bird that should take a message, so it would be crane indeed.. but the word tourna is also used for the fish Esox lucius. Is there a traditional turkish version of the song, other than the one of Dilke Kots you put? Dilek Kots is a nowadays artist and despite her record being called "common songs of Greeks and Turks" I see that you didn't include any older version in the video, which makes me wonder whether she wrote the turkish lyrics to it herself! just asking!

[romeikos2]

check out the youtube video Aliye Akkilic - Minarenin Alemi for an older Turkish version. I really don't know the provenance of the Turkish version; my knowledge and collection is greater for Greek.

[dburak]

In the Turkish catalogue the lyrics are attributed to Karacaoglan, the 17th century folk poet. There are a few different versions that are collected from Mersin, Azerbaijan, and the version romeikos posted is attributed to Istanbul, but it has completely different lyrics except the "turna" part.

I am not too sure about the tune itself. I know at least two albums it has been released in, but it is definitely not a very popular and/or well-known tune in Turkey.

Spotted another nice interpretation of the song on Arzu Görücü's albüm "Harman Yeri".

[dburak]

Also, can someone tell me how the Greek version could be classified under the Greek folk classification?

Nice song!

What means "Tourna"?

[dburak]

Turna, in Turkish, means "Crane" (the bird). The crane has a religious/spiritual connotation in ancient Turkish and many Central Asian cultures (not anymore in modern Turkey). The word, though, remains extremely widespread in Turkish folksongs, and I was very curious as to why until recently myself.

Hope it helps.

[dburak]

I read a few weeks ago that songs about "Crane" also has a very large place in Armenian folk music.

Just an addition.
