Üsküdar'a giderken - Katibim

[furkanemir38]

Tebrik ederim bu kadını süper şarkı dilime takıldı :D

[easternshock]

Her singing is nice... but her accent is terrible lol, I couldn't even tell it was Turkish, sounded like Hindi at first... But you know what, at least she tried :)))

[awhitegmail]

@easternshock Remember, her accent in English was weird too.

[Serbian42]

NE GUZEL TURKUSU PREDIVNA PESMA WHAT A NICE SONG

[MrEmrahcetin]

Bizim en çok bilinen türküsü bu olsa gerek...

[izowatiska]

Living in another country is so difficult when you have a paradise as country -Turkiye :(:(:(:(

[KAST96]

The accent is a bit weird but other than that iit's nice...

[Alkmini80]

@KAST96 an american is singing, that's why...

[LordMercury]

This is Rasputin's Boney M

[3choBlast3r]

@LordMercury no, Boney M's - Rasputin was based on this Turkish Ottoman melody

[gloomyoutlook]

@3choBlast3r

there's no such thing as Turkish Ottoman. Ottoman is not an ethnic denotation. Ottomans were of all ethnic backgrounds.

[3choBlaster]

@gloomyoutlook The Ottoman dynasty is Turkish, the people who inherited/influenced it's culture and language most where Turks. All their millitary marches are about "Turkish" vitories and victorious TURKISH people.

OTTOMAN, OSMANLI means, from the TRIBE of Osman. The tribe of Osman was TURKIC. The fact that the empire had multiple ethnicities in it, or that there where foreign vizirs, generals next to Turks etc. doesn't make it "less" Turkish.

[3choBlaster]

@gloomyoutlook Claiming that the Ottomans aren't Turkish is like saying the Romans weren't really Romans because there where many foreign generals, advisors predominant roman citizens.

Claiming that "there is no such thing as Turkish Ottoman" is dumb in the first place, because there was a HUGE Turkic/Turkish population in the empire. The fucking language was Turkish with Arab and Persian words in it for gods sake, how fucking retarded are you?

[gloomyoutlook]

@3choBlaster

HUGE Turkic/Turkish population? Are out of your fucking mind? First of all, nobody designated themselves as being Turkish or Turkic. They defined themselves as OTTOMANS. Secondly, according to historical records, in the Ottoman Empire, to label a respectable man a Turk was in INSULT. Turks were rural, illiterate farmers. They insisted you called them OTTOMANS. Next, the Ottomans were ENORMOUSLY multicultural therefore the Ottomans cannot in any way be said to singularly be TURKISH.

[3choBlaster]

@gloomyoutlook HAHA you're the greatest idiot in the world. Turk wasn't an insult. Atrak-I'bidrek was a term used by Persians to describe Turk like poeple (peasants and farmers who where Ironically not Turks) was used in the Empire to describe peasants. Both Turkish, Kurd, Greek etc.

It was as multi cultural as ANY empire that got that big. The romans, the army of alexander were no different. You're seriously pathetically Attempting to discredit Turks.

[gloomyoutlook]

@3choBlaster

Secondly, the Ottoman Turkish language is "Turkish" only in the most superficial terms possible. Its grammar and syntax was based ENTIRELY on the Persian langauge the Turks had been speaking as their lingua franca for many past centuries as they passed through Iran and the Great Iranian lands, and was filled to the brim with Arabic words BORROWED FROM WITHIN PERSIAN. The only Turkish element in Ottoman Turkish is the most rudimentary. Modern Turkish is an artifical construct.

[3choBlaster]

@gloomyoutlook Haha you're an ignorant piece of shit, seriously. I know Ottoman Turkish you dumb fuck, and any Turk could understand most of it without the need to learn it.

The only thing superficial is your uneducated ass. Modern Turkish is Ottoman Turkish with the Arab/Persian words replaced by Turkish/Turkic ones.

I know my history trough and trough, you're the pathetic dick that thinks he knows MY history better. The Ottomans where TURKS.

[gloomyoutlook]

@3choBlaster

Lastly, don't call me retarded because you don't know your own fucking history and base your claims entirely on your preconceived notions of Turkish superiority, you fucking fascist cunt. Turks, for all their claims and posturing, were NOTHING until the Turkish republic invented their identity and engaged in gratuituous self-glorification. NOTHING.

[3choBlaster]

@gloomyoutlook There is nothing to preconcive you dumb shit stain. It's simple history. Ottomans where Turks. Mughals of India where Turks but their empire wasn't at all, just like many Persian dynasties where Turkish. But the Ottomans where TURKS, promoted TURKISH values and culture and on top of they had millions upon millions of Turkish subjects.

You're a pathetic SHIT stain, seriously try to LISTEN to Ottoman military marches, search the fucking translation. stupid retard.

[gloomyoutlook]

@3choBlaster

you're a fucking deluded nationalist.

[3choBlaster]

@gloomyoutlook is that the best you could come up with? Maybe because you're an arrogant piece of shit who thinks he know Turkish history better than a Turk. Maybe because your shit filled brains can't grasp simple facts. Like the fact that the whole world and all historians, scholars etc without exception consider the Ottomans Turks. Or the fact that I SPEAK Turkish unlike you.

[shockinfantry]

@gloomyoutlook

dude the most Turkish empires had only Turks as rulers and military,

but the people ,administiration and literature where mostly persian or arabic, look at Turkish Empires in Iran and India

But the Ottoman Empire was more Turkish,

listen to the Ottoman military band song , Ceddin deden

Its very much nationalistic Turkish music,

but later some Ottoman rulers tryed to ban these songs cuz of keeping the empire stable due the many ethnicities

[gloomyoutlook]

@3choBlaster

Having said all that, I have great respect for the Ottomans and the Ottoman empire. It was to a great extent a tolerant, multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-faith empire, and unlike the modern Turkish Republic, did not pursue a policy of forced homogenisation and brutal cultural assimilation for the purposes of forging a false unity and a single, false identity.

[lauraneville]

great song...thanks for posting this lovely tune!

[CabukMustafa]

This is very beautiful!

But I can hear it song by an american.;)

[TheVideoTurk]

This is pure Turkish music, not music from the Balkans, Africa or Middle East, this song is about the Üsküdar neighborhood in Istanbul.

[owtatowttowt]

heard Safiye Ayla's version affore, nae bad. iss een's aaright inaa. think mi Granda liked iss wyfie.

[TheHoneyMedia]

özlemişim

[Ursfrndlyneena]

I juz love diz song....I saw diz documentry called "Whose song is this?"..

After which dere is no turning back for me...I listen to it atleast 10-15 times a day...

I usually stick to Indian Music ...But I kinda fell in love with this tune...

[laliqueUK]

@Ursfrndlyneena

Its originally Turkish (Ottoman)an old song from Istanbul about region USKUDAR.

When going to Üsküdar, rain started

My scribes’ coats are long, his skirt is muddy

[sazji]

@laliqueUK It is indeed Ottoman; it's from a musical called "Horhor Leblebici" performed by an Armenian theatre company. The play was very popular and was performed all over the Ottoman Empire, which accounts for why the song is so widespread. Pretty much every modern country has people who fiercely claim it as "their own" but even now in Turkey most people still think this is an "anonymous Istanbul folk song."

[laliqueUK]

@sazji thank you for this info much appreciated.

[TheVideoTurk]

@sazji

This song has nothing to do with armenians. You are an armenian refugee living in Turkey, Erdogan will deportate u back to ur shithole called armenia

[sazji]

@TheVideoTurk I have no connection to Armenia and no particular "need" to have it be Armenian. To call it an "Armenian song" is not right, it's from an operetta by Dikran Çuhacıyan who died in 1898, well before the big problems between the Ottoman Empire and the Armenians. He was considered the pioneer of Turkish opera. I wrote the name wrong though, it's "Leblebici Horhor Ağa." But there's not much info on the original opera out there, only the later Turkish film productions of it.

[TheVideoTurk]

@sazji

I know that operetta, there is no connection between this song and pieces of that operetta.

[sazji]

@TheVideoTurk "however, neither the film nor the project offer an answer to the origins of the melody. Perhaps it is too early to do so. There are a number of conflicting theories around. Some Arabic sources attribute it to the 19th-century Iraqi composer Mullah Osman Al-Muselli, whose version is performed by Yousef Omar in the Iraqi video linked above. Others say that it was diffused in Istanbul by the Scottish military bands stationing in the city during the Crimean war of 1853-56. (cont)

[sazji]

@TheVideoTurk "Again others defend its Armenian origins, saying that it was first sung in 1883 the operetta Leblemitzi Horboraga by Dihran Tsohatzian, which became highly popular all over the Ottoman Empire. This theory is perhaps also supported by the fact that the first recording of the melody was made by German musicologists in 1900 with an Armenian boy in the Eastern Anatolian Gaziantep. However, none of these hypotheses can be verified...

[sazji]

@TheVideoTurk We can only say with some probability that it is a relatively late, 19th-century urban song. This is also attested by the fact that its versions in the various provinces of the empire are still surprisingly uniform, and it has survived everywhere as an urban song, rather than a peasant folk song.

So the jury is still out. To me the operetta theory makes sense because it's so widespread through the former Empire, and a traveling operetta company is the perfect vehicle.

[Alkmini80]

@TheVideoTurk erdogan won't do it...he's not even a turk, he's a Rum!

[Bornova77]

bu sahane eser aldi beni uzun uzun yillari geri goturdu, enstrumanlara bakarmisiniz arkadaslar, o kadar saf o kadar otantik... muazzam, baska bir soz bulamiyorum. arefna, bu post icin seni tebrik ediyorum!

[ekskurzija]

bu şarkı ile aynı melodileri olan şarkılar bulgaristanda makedonyada

sırbistanada yunanistanda bosna hesekte ve ispanyada var o şarkılrın isimlerini bilenler adlarını soyleyebilirler mi?

[sazji]

@ekskurzija Yunanistan'da "Apo tin Athina os ton Pirea" diye biliniyor. Birden fazla versiyonu var. Şarkı, Osmanlı döneminde "Horhor Leblebici" adlı bir Ermeni müzikal tiyatrodan geliyor.

[arven979]

From a Serbian TV show in the 1970's:

watch?v=Xpcp2myEWk8

[Laars28]

u r stupid!!! I meant it I love that song and I'm from Hungary!!! sorry...

[yasini]

"ow well thats turkey" What is that supposed to be mean? rubbish ladie. Who ever made this made this all wrong people. Her translation is all wrong.

[MrJustin2782]

What she means by "Oh well that's turkey," Wasn't from the a translation, but a sarcastic remark about how women were treated in a negative fashion, here in america during those days that recorded this song, espescially the minority. So it was a politcal statement. ;)

[kannyfarah]

A wealthy woman having her own male secretary isn't demeaning to the woman at all. If that was Eartha Kitt meant (which I doubt) then she was mistaken about the meaning of the song, which is about a wealthy lady falling in love with her young but poor male secretary.

[aoabali]

I think her accent is really cute...

[Anatolie1981]

Her accent is very cute en lovely!

[TurkFutbol10]

i didnt know eartha kitt knew turkish

[Laars28]

LOVE it!!!! Hungary.

[Laars28]

Sorry, I meant I love it and I'm from Hungary!!!

[shockinfantry]

aah srry man ;P it just reads different

[Laars28]

No worries!!! :D

[polyonomata]

Wonderfun song it is!

Bu şark, 30 yıl önce bir Koreli şarkıcı söyledip meşhur oldu. Tabii ben de bu şark söylebilirim korece ile ve türkçe ile.

Güneykore'den selam söyledim. Koreli ve Türk kardeşiyiz! :-D

[fallout1944]

Eartha Kitt thanks for singing RIP ):

[gosdanian]

her strong accent really ruins it for me. sounds like she's making fun of it. oh well, it's just my opinion.

[bgturk]

Her accent isn't that strong. I have seen far worse.

[IraqiMaqam]

Thanks. Great song.

[simstadion]

GO BONEY M!!!!!

[babyISextrem]

Niceeeeee =D

[noodnadim]

What is the story of this song ?

[gulu4life]

a guy seceratary who falls in love with a girl...and so on, and it took place in the city Uskudar:)

[ImagineerPictures]

I am a full blood Turkish...Okkkayy.. I accept (may be a little Kurdish, Caucasion, Laz, and of course Abaza).

But...damn...she is singing great!

Greetings from U.S.

[abuhamida]

By the way, Im Jordanian from Turkish origin,, and my mom always tell me about her mother,, she was playing this song on the lute,, remained stuck in my mind,, and I was very happy when i found it on internet :)

[karakasIST]

RIP EARTHA

[SerseriKursun]

exellent

[AndyeAndinha]

she did well. grandpa worked with her long years ago...

[MissDellaReese]

Asking as someone who doesn't speak a lick of Turkish - how is Eartha's Turkish?

[Lestardt]

good enough, to make this song

[Soielily]

her accent is not proper but you can cleary understand what she says and that's the point i think.

[Dilara1984]

it's quite cute actually... Turkish is not a bit similar to English... considering that, she does very well.... :)

[taximbiriki]

Eartha Kitt'e 6 aylik maaş borcumuz var.İstanbul'da 6 ay çalışıp beş kuruş vermeden sepetlenmiş! Yinede kariyerinde böyle bir yere gelmesindeki en önemli tecrübeyi İstanbul'da edindiğini söyledi. Türk olarak bana bu macerasını anlattığında utandım ama benle gırgır geçti: bana 6 aylık maaş borcunu ver dedi...Muhteşem bir kadındı.

[mezarkabr]

[acarnazli]

Ertha Kitt'in Turkler icin neden ozel bir sanatci oldugunu bilmeniz gerekir. 1960larda Amerikada Baskan Johnson onu karalisteye altirtmis o da Turkiyeye gelip kuluplerde is bulmustu. Amerikaya dondugu zaman bu sarkiyi gurur ile soyledi, sirf Turkiyeye olan sevgisini anlatmak icin. Telaffuzu kotu gelsede kulaginiza, bu meshur sanatcinin Amerikada Turkleri Amerikalilarin anlayacagi gibi tanitmasi milyonlarca dolara alinamaz. Milli Turku degil ayrica, cok eski ama guzel bir beste.

I don't know about this, but you may hear an indigenous Turkish rendition by Safiye Ayla on youtube, dating from the interbelum period.

Ottomans means (same as many empires in the world) mix cultures,mix ethnicities,mix religious etc.

[noriohaya]

Earth Kitt was perfect for this song. I was in a grade school (first or second grade) when I first heard this song on radio for the first time. Believe it or not, this was in Japan! It became a top hit song in Japan.
