[jenni1952]

Just amazing. She was a true diva

[fora1461]

She is sooo good. Rest in peace.

[ElusvOptmst]

This woman was extreme talent and gifted. How many entertainers sing and spoke several languages. A unique, intelligent, sexy woman. No one like her exist today. A true lady and a diva.

[bjuicezzZZ]

çok iyi yaa ingilizce çevirisi de bihayli hoş olmuş :) ahmet ertegün bu şarkıyı amerikan kültürüne katmış diye okudum Türkçesi kadar olmasa da en azından tanınması yönüyle oldukça iyi bi iş çıkmış :)

[hailhailrock]

[yourrock1]

This song is based on a scottish folk melody. İn occupation days while an english soldier singing this melody , a turkish composer hears it. And composes this song.

[classicalgirl01]

@yourrock1

You would know, because you saw it happen yeah?

Prove it.

[yourrock1]

@classicalgirl01 Türkiye'deki her müzisyen bunun iskoç halk ezgisi olduğunu bilir. Bu şarkının batılılarca da çok sevilmesinin sebebi de budur. Rasputin'in melodisi de bu şarkıya dayanır. Melodi bizim olsa gurur duyardım ama değil

[nalkap]

@yourrock1 doğrudur. Ancak Beethoven'ın Türk marşı gibi, bu melodinin yazılması da Türkler sayesinde olmuştur. Kırım harbi sırasında müttefiğimiz olan İngiliz askerlerinin arasındaki iskoç asker alayına bir iskoç bestecinin yazması ile bu eser meydana gelmiştir. Onlara tahsis edilen Selimiye Kışlasında bu melodi yazılmıştır.

[koeslecker]

Quite a song, my Turkish friend Aykut always laughed when I tried to imitate Eartha.

KLECKER

[WonderWomanFan4life]

she was great.

[hyoutantugino1]

[nilesdpuckett]

sublime.

[kespec]

turkish culture and language is so rich that even though changing the very structure of its language, denying its literacy; thousands of masterpieces in ottoman-turkish is abandoned, yet, it is still strong

[52frankie55]

I didn't know Eartha Kitt spoke Turkish! She sings it beautifully. I wish I could speak Turkish as well as she sings it. Lovely song. Oh--"tgurdemir"--thank you for the translation.

[littlemissfab1]

[LostLittlePoet]

Lokum means Turkish Delight Turks Fruit in Dutch if you like the song have some Turkish delight (the very soft ones) and watch that great Dutch film called Turks Fruit while you are eating. Sweety Eartha sings so cuteeeeee :) her voice is just like a Lokum

[AbukSABUK78]

great song! thanks for sharing.

[oceanussytx]

Cute :)

[shoel]

Oh those Turks!

[vikingohannes]

hate to burst your fake bubble, but I think the song was created by Giaour Christians, like most of the culture of your "progressive" country.

[MrElicottero]

Why is it that people on YT have a strong urge to be rude?

First of all, Turkish culture is old, rich and extremely complex (much like their beautiful language) with Islamic and Christian influences entwined. The fact that your speak of Turkey in such a condescending way only shows your ignorance.

[djhuso]

cheers my friend ;)

[nightcrawlerefe]

well said bro

im proud of being turkish

[LostLittlePoet]

MrElicottero you are right the problem is ''ignorance'' fascism lol even here! Have some Lokum calm down. if you feel sad just listen to this song :) and yeah love is great do not hate make love! Ma Lady is calling her secretary have to go bye for now

[bostonchip2006]

@MrElicottero"merhaba my friend!" Unfortunately in a free society people have the right to be ignorant ty for straightening them out. Are you an Eartha Kitt fan? Pls send me your comments I am an American who is trying to get a day in her honor in my state.

[siqtirulation]

this song was written at the times of the ottoman empire i mean she said usküdar! and that was a part of the mulim ottoman country

[gosdanian]

LOL!!!!

[Sheba31792]

Wow...what a treasure. Once again this great lady shows the vastness of her talent by thoroughly embracing this cultural piece. Eartha's depth and love of performing is evident from her first day to her last.

[flikir]

allah rahmet eylesin

[annafrancesca1]

Do you know what she is saying? I'd like so much to know what she is speaking about.

[tgurdemir]

a rought translation

While going to Uskudar rain took over

My Katibs coat is long, & muddy on the bottom

Katip awoke from his sleep, his eyes are groggy

Katip is mine, I am his, whats it to anyone

Katips shirt is starched, it fits him so handsomely

While going to uskudar, I found an hankerchief

& I stuffed the hankerchief with candy

While looking for my Katib, I found him next to me

Katib is mine, I am his, whats it to anyone Katips shirt is starched, it fits him so handsomely

[annafrancesca1]

Thank you so much for the translation! :-))
