thx mparmparos for the extensive research and description of the song. a lot of people think it is a popular american song, how stupid ! actually it is one of the very old, widely spread melodies that touched people's hearts through the centuries ! i would appreciate a little bit more respect in the comments, what the heck about is it Greek or Jewish or whatever ? obviously it is arabic or at least arabic influenced and the Greek brought it from Smyrna (Izmir) to greece
My friend you talk bollocks. This song is 100% Greek, why all this crap to prove its Egyptian Jewish or Turkish or whatever?Typical Byzantine mode(scale),
1) The DNA make-up of today's Greeks is 99.5% white. The study cliams that today's Greek has 99.5% the same DNA make-up as as the white Greeks of ancient times.
2) Contrary to beliefs by many in Turkey and certain Slavic nations of ex-Yugoslavia, Greek DNA has not been influenced, nor altered, by the mixture of Slavic or Turkish DNA, even though Ottomans ruled a large part of Greece for 400 years.
@masova1968 man.. you truly are a racist and your words are fully supporting the definition of "racism". thats just wrong. every human dna is the same actually. because humans came to this world as one specie. its not like god made us come here different as turks and greeks or italians. we are all the same. and if there is even %0.01 difference between any human, we would be evolve because of this change.
Silly guys instead of seeking all the roots about your great greek ancestors,just look at the picture all the blond greeks how became dark skin curly hair after 450 years OTTOMAN RULE! Our girls all you are!
Continue to prove yourselves faithful, even though the synagogue of satan is around you, because the prophecy @ Rev. 20:10 is right around the corner.
turks and greeks are like indians and pakistanis, or serbians and bosnians, they share the very same anchestors but have different dominant religion, even laguages are tradition of religous groups, roman orthodox chrisians spoke roman/greek, anatolian muslims spoke turkish(language of bektasilik). Small outsiders domnating a region is not uncommon, even Italy was dominated by Etruscans from Anatola, Russa by Tatars, Persia by Turkics, Anatolia by Seljuks etc... So wake up...
But there were also a large number anatolians who continued to speak greek (mostly together with turkish). In short: after WW1 greek speaking turks went to greece and turkish speaking greeks went to turkey. But these two groups were genetically and culturally the same, the only difference was their primary language and religion. So we are actually brothers, ironically though: we do not speak the same language because of historically political reasons.
Most greeks and (western)turks have common ancestry. Genetic contribution from asians is only 10%. The rest pretty much comes from the indigenous people of Anatolia who have lived there for several thousands of years(proto-Europeans). So turks are genetically european, but because of political domination from a small number of turkic tribes from west-china, a language shift occured from indo-european languages(including greek) to the turkish language.
I agree to a large extend with you, western Turks are genetically same as Greeks . Unfortunately both of the countries government's are teaching hatred to their people and as a result there is hate and mistrust between 2 peoples that otherwise could have being brothers .
You didn't get my point. There is no thing as turkish blood. Real (racial)turks look very asian. The vast majority of turks(of Turkey) don't look asian. Turks of Turkey are racially Anatolian(proto-European ancestry) not turkish. Racially turks are pretty much extinct in Turkey. Since Greeks and (Anatolian)Turks have lived in the same area for thousands of years they may have intermixed. So the word "stolen" is inappropriate here. Neither one decended from the other, but they intermixed.
@sse4 i dont think so mate, we have stolen generations at the hands of the turks. while the greeks were under ottoman occupation, the turks would kidnap greek children, then brainwash them thinking that they are turks and then training them to become soldiers when they were older. those children were called janisseris. most turks openly admit it. btw its the greeks who lived in anatolia for over 1000 years, turks arrived in medieval times.
nope, you still didn't get my point. It seems that you can't make a distinction between Turks living in Anatolia(who weren't turks yet in the past) and original Turks that live(d) in west-China. The original Turks dominated over the Anatolians and made them the modern-day Turks. But original Turks are genetically extinct because Anatolians were far more numerous than the original Turks. Thus modern day Turks use Turkish culture and language but are genetically not Turkish but Anatolian.
@sse4 Turks come from Mongolia. And they are not even in a part Greek. The fact that they raped every european female to make their children look like more european, doesnt make them similar with Greeks. We (Hellenes) exist since 15000 bC and they exist only since 1200 aC. And ofc our history is bigger. We cant neggotiate anything. West M Asia is Hellenic, Pontos is Hellenic, Cyprus is Hellenic and Macedonia is Hellenic. Their first civilians were the Hellenes. Ελλάς νυν υπέρ πάντων.

y Misirlou (Egyptian girl), your sweet glance Has lit a flame in my heart. Ah, ya habibi, Ah, ya leh-leli, ah (Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night)[2] Your two lips are dripping honey, ah. Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty. Madness will overcome me, I can't endure [this] any more. Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land. My black-eyed, my wild Misirlou, My life changes with one kiss Ah, ya habibi, one little kiss, ah From your sweet little lips, ah.
Misirlou (Greek: Μισιρλού, "Egyptian Girl"; from Turkish Mısırlı, "Egyptian";[1] from Arabic مصر, Miṣr, "Egypt"), is a popular Greek song with a cult-like popularity in five very diverse styles of music: Greek rebetiko, Middle-Eastern belly dancing, Jewish wedding music (Klezmer), American surf rock and international orchestral easy listening (Exotica).
Music belongs to everyone. Nobody can say that this song is greek and that song is english. The only things we can say about a song's origins is its composer and cultural influences.
And it is often the case that a song becomes more popular in a country other than the one its composer lived in, so that country automatically claims ownership of the song. It's as ridiculous as it is common, and I'm ashamed to say it's awfully common in Greece lately.
Πολλοί δεν μπορούν να καταλάβουν ότι το τραγούδι "Μισερλού" γράφτηκε για μια Ελληνίδα της Σμύρνης ΚΑΛΛΟΝΗ και επειδή τότε υπήρχε η ΕλληνοΤούρκικη πρόσμιξη το τραγούδι γράφτηκε ώς είχε. Αποδεχτείτε το τέλος πάντων. Ελληνες δειτε και πιο βαθειά
Sure many misfortunate things happened in the history. Fascism to greek in istanbul. Exchange of populations Turks and Greek migrants.and many more in the dark history.
But it is unfair to blame turkish citizens. It was the states who did. i wish they didn't happened to all of us.
If only we had a time machine we could change any thing. I feel soory too.
Why can't we sit the table and share these all sad things like gentlemen.?
My grandma is from trapezounta (trabzon), greek origin. Did you know that the german BANK, who had financial interests in Turkey, helped a lot in the propaganda against the greeks and armenians, so that the German capital had no antagonism in Izmir and the Black Sea region?
Neither greek nor turkish schools teach the kids who is really to blame for the wars. My ancestors lived in peace before the propaganda. Why would a german bank interfere? People should worry more about who harms their country. And it's not the turkish people who harm Greece nowadays, nor the greeks who harm Turkey.
I think we Turks and Greeks should check their history write it together. I don't know how it is in Greece education system, but in Turkey it is brainwashing.
@Atartee my grandmother was there the night of the exodus...the boats in the harbor who poured hot oil on people and who refused to help them were british...yes, they lived side by side for generations....so we have to ask who was really behind this?
I think there are more people who are even good friend in real life, old still remember their memories with their old neighbourhood, tell of them to their offspring. What ever they on both side say, Greeks are my neighbours and many of them are my exhiled country men.
How convenient for a Turk to be so apologetic while his/her people almost ethnicly cleansed all Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians from Anatolia who once flourished there, which now only around 3,000 live in all Turkey...how fucking convenient!
Fascist Greeks ahy...I think you should restudy your peoples history in the area which does not begin before 1,150 CE (I'm being generous here).
Yes let's turn back the clock to 900 CE and have the Turks not enter Anatolia.
Turks of Turkey say now after almost ethnically cleansing all of the Anatolian indigenous peoples, "peace at home, peace in the world" or how about this one, "Turkish zero problem with neighbors policy"...I wish the Turks followed this policy in 900 CE. You kidding, Turkey's "zero problem neighbors policy" is PR lip service ato divert attention from the dirty deeds...like Turkish occupation of Cyprus, invasion of Kurdistan, violating Greek sovereign territory, & genocide denial.
Seljuks come after 1071 Manziker battle into Anatolia not in 900CE. I can't see the importance of it.
Turkish policy of zero problem with neighbours is not fruitless. Greece Turkish relations is far more better than in the past. Relationships with Armenian is bettering. Actually all the relations with countries around is being good.
You seemed to have missed my point, and to who I was responding to. And forgive me for any specifics i intentionally avoided, but the Seljuk Turks were spilling into Anatolia before that battle of Manziker took place.
And as I said before, "Turkish policy of zero problem with neighbors" is PR lip service, a bloody shell game.
I have a few question for you, please answer them if you can. is there such a thing as ethnic Turks? is there any ethnic Turks in Turkey today? And if you say there is no ethnic Turks in Turkey does that mean you insult Turkishness or Turkey?
I am called Turk, It is not my choice, because your nationality is the choice of people around you. By Ethnic Turks, you mean central assian people with central assian features, traditions, folklore.. You can not see people like that in Turkey.
In main-law turkishness means citizen of Turkey regardless of their ethnicity. Any violent comment, hate speech against people Turkey is insulting Turkishness, regardless of their identity.
It is similar to the way Anatolian people called themshelf Greek. Turkish ruler class emposed their language and religion. Note Turk called the land Rum. It was italian who called the land Turcia.
It is not ok to insult, make violent comment, or hate speech against to any ethnic and religious minorities in Turkey.
Very interesting. So Anatolian people called them selves Greek at one time...hmmm....so if your great grand father called them selves Greek at one time and now they call them selves Turk...is that right? How about the Armenians, Kurds, and Assyrians...did they call them selves Greeks too?
So when is it first recorded historically when the Italian called Turkey "the land Turcia "
What do Phyrigians, Hattians, Lydians, .......call themshelf now?
Today many people having Armenian, Greek, Kurdish, Slav root call themshelf Turk.
I can't give you correct date now when Italians start to call Anatolia Turkey. But Ottomans including the other Turkish rullers call the land Rum. People of this land is called Rumi. Turks are mainly muslimized mix of west Romans.
No nation is race on this land, It is impossible because of the history.
You call your self Turkish, do you know what your forebears called them selves before, or you do not know or are not sure?
Did you know that in Italy there are still a few Greek speakers that still call them selves Greek? We Greeks do not call our selves Hellene/Greeks because it is fashionable. It is because we have a deep connection to our ancestors, our language, to our land.
You call your self Turkish, do you know what your forebears called them selves before, or you do not know or are not sure?
Did you know that in Italy there are still a few Greek speakers that still call them selves Greek since ancient times, and many Greeks who fled for there lives from Turkey? We Greeks do not call our selves Hellene/Greeks because it is fashionable. It is because we have a deep connection to our ancestors, our language, to our land.
Some peoples family line is recorded since just after the establishment of the church. Hellene and Roman ethnicity existed long before 18'th century nationalism was established. This is a historic fact.
Because you may not know your family line before the 1900's does mean others do not know well before the 1900's. Many family lineages have been recorded by the churches of Europe, as well as various state records of past and present for tax purposes.
"Trapezone was not Greek" is a very bold statement coming from a Turk. Your people have completely changed the population make up of the whole north east part of Turkey since before the 1900's through war, pogrom's and genocides. Trapezone was Greek and Armenian for the longest time since Alexander and possibly before since Perseus. There were Greek colonies before 800 BC through out the Black sea coast N, S, W & E...this is fact.
Trapezon was not in Greece where Greeks are origined. People of Trabzon are different than usual Greek. Different traditions, clothings...etc.
Orgine of Greek language is Greece, Greeks are colonizer in Anatolia, they hellenized the land. spread their language and cultures. But didn't erased local cultures.
@tolgaoztemur-You are asking Greeks to forget that this ever happened. How can u sit there and say that this period in History is unfair to the Turkish citizen. Shame on you. The Greek blood that was spilled was by ur hands and if we were to turn our backs to this fact you would only do the same thing again and everyone knows it. You are barbarians even to your own kind. U are the type of people that humanity dreads the kind of people that can not be honest with themselves about their own past.
I will not get into this unmeaningful polemics. There is accepteable manner of discussing things. Plus you jump into the topic without even reading my post. If you read my post you would not write unrelated things.
@tolgaoztemur - I don't have to read nothing about anything, Go face yourself in the mirror, there's nothing unmeaningful or unfactual about what i wrote. Unlike Turks, Greeks don't play in the realm of Semantics.
Go your self re malaka progonlatreia to kill, stupid man. You sit in your PC talking about wars and when you served the army you were crying like a baby. Ante malaka, shut up and eat your merenda now.
Without a doubt, ALL the cities of eastern Anatolia were originally Greek, now they are not -- but the homeland of Greece was completely overrun by the Ottomans and cities like Salonika had more Turks than Greeks at one point - Ataturk himself was born there.
I would have preferred if Mehmet had not overrun Constantinople, but he did. That's just history, and the way it is. I do think the Turks should restore Hagia Sophia to the Orthodox church - the least they should do if they want in E.U.
Thanks for posting and for the historical background. Too bad this had to turn into a Greek/Turkish pissing contest -- Face it guys -- the ethnic cleansing went BOTH ways in 1922/23. The Greeks probably never would have been expelled and butchered if they hadn't gotten too cocky about trying to subdue the entire peninsula - they overreached and got their asses handed to them pure and simple.
dude, lets face it. Turks and Greeks are brothers. Besides the history or which nation was there before, it is obvious that at least for your generation. After invading your lands it was the Turkish army who actually and literally f*** your grand grand grandmother and made you born. This is the story behind every nations' history. Admit or not you have Turkish blood in your veins and killing your grandfathers wont help you find your inner peace.
dude,have u checked a map lately?Seriously what is left to talk about, they got the kickass country and u have the country half size of it with booring athens. I really think what u should do is to be greatfull to them and to the god that u got the islands. otherwise noone would ever visit. We,tourists only spent 2 hours in athens and go directly to the islands u know. Doesnt matter your hellenic past or whatever u call it, u have to admit that u are defeated really bad. and u got to suck it up.
For those moron Greeks who are as ignorant as a cow, İzmir (Smyrna) was founded by Hittites not by Greeks, second if this song would be Greek song the name wouldn't be in Turkish, but of course for you shameless Greeks it doesn't matter. Whatever, don't forget kissing our shoes for 500 years and be thankful to European states otherwise you would be kissing it for 500 years more.
You're totally unhistorical... There was no city called Smyrna in the time of Hittites... And if you knew History, you could hane known the connection between Hittites and Greeks (Ahhiyawa)... When the Greek colonists arrived at the coast of Asia Minor, there was no Smyrna. Only abandoned villages in the hills. The city was founded by Greek Ionians. And the Great Powers are responsible for your life. If it hadn't been their treason, Greece would have liberated the whole of Asia Minor, by now...
Macedonia (Ancient, Roman, Medieval, Modern) was always Greek. The people of Skopia are just a people with no identity (problem caused by communism) and so, they try to steal Greek History. Which is impossible, no matter the "weapons" (I didn't say Americans :-D) they have. Because History is History. Never changed, never gonna be changed.
turkish people always respects kurdish people. it's the same problem like we lived with greeks in the past.turkish people is living brotherhood with kurdish people like lived greek people formerly.we love kurdish people, we love greek people, every problem is politics and american lies. I advise everyone to watch "Zeitgeist"
my friend, how can you know more than a Turkish people about his more than 3000 years old history?
Sorry but you and people who thinks like you, just know to say "invaders". Kurds, Zazaks, Algerian, Iraqian, Persian Jews (another branch of kurds) Armenian people lived peacely during Ottoman times, thats why Ottoman called Empire of Tolerance.
And before Ottoman, during Selcuks empire when Turks entered to Anatolia around 1071, Kurds were in Selcuks army and population.
3000 years of Turkish History? Come on, man! Let's speak truthfully... What are you talking about? Turks were in Anatolia from 1000 BC? And why are they not mentioned anywhere? It's not a shame to accept your origins! It's no shame being Asian and a far descendant of some Greek, Georgians or Armenian Janissary. It's no shame at all. Shame is not to recognize it. Indeed, the Greek people suffered a lot from Christianity and Byzantium which the Sultanate of Rum didn't cause. But not 3000 years!!!
And we ALWAYS got along well till Ottoman started to fall down.
But after 1900's and during WW1 Americans and English politics and their spies intervented our relations, with brother fights.
Dont be silly please! Who and how tell you those ideas!
BTW there is & there was no land called "land of Kurdish" there never happened a free land for them in the history. There was and there is just a region where Kurdish population is too much. It is all because of INVADERS and spies on politics!
The Kurds are in the area of Kurdistan (south eastern Turkish provinces, if you prefer) for more than 3000 years, now. They're descendants of the Medians (Iranian tribe). Ancient Greeks mention them (not as Kurds, though). Kurdish population is a large part of the total population of Turkey. They deserve their own land.
I think old versions are quite decent, I hated the Black Eyed Peas version...something is very wrong, they wasted and commercialized everything and I guess now it is our folk songs turn:(
I don't know why you replied after my comment but what I have said above was nothing offensive to you because I wrote it as a comment to someone who was just cursing instead of writing comments as should the normal civilized people do! I was just offended by the language s/he had used.
why the every turk here uses the "gay" word? Looks like is the only word you know well. Do you see any sexual material in this video? Damn you barbarism nation
And the political Reason for the Harmony of Selanik and Izmir:
Orthodox were occupying Catholics, Jews are welcomed from departed Spain to occupy Orthodox, Muslim Majority and taxes (blood tax, devshirme) was already occupying everybody.
Fascinating video . I enjoy the photographs very much, the vitriolic, jingoistic commentary, not so much. Too much hate in the world;no need to bring it to this site. Ancient history.
yes,you're right..I cant understand either what they aim while commenting with hatred...instead of enjoying this beautiful music and photos through the history..Thanks for your comment and Greetings to the USA.
Smirni was a Greek city from 3000BC when Ionian colonists from the Hellenic mainland founded it, to 1922AD when it was destroyed -oops sorry liberated-and all christian population, Greek and Armenian alike, was raped/slaughtered/taken to concentration camps/or forced to flee in terror. So the predominant culture for about 5000years in that city as well as every Ionian city along the coast of Minor Asia,was Greek,and to claim that a song was actually translated from turkish is counter-intuitive.
Like having American tourists in Efessos and telling them that the ruins there are of the Great Turkish civilization counter-intuitive.
Face it you made some contributions to world culture, but they all pertain to other cultures being obliterated by slaughter and Genitsar army building. No matter how much propaganda you receive at school, your country has conducted not one, not two, but 3 fraking holocausts for which not only you re absolutely unapologetic about, but also plain crass.
Greek existense doesnt change anything.Turks have been in and around İzmir for 1000 years.So thanks to harmonic culture of 19th century's İzmir,it can be so easily translated from Turkish.But of course it is just an opinion.There are Ladimo veersions of this song.Firstly be well-informed about sth,then comment.
mparmonum i wonder if that's what you have been thought in Greek schools, which is absolutely bogus knowledge.
Unlike Byzantine Empire, the Greek Culture (along with other minority cultures in ottoman empire) hasn't been touched and stayed until today because of the Turks, you should be grateful for that!
And Yes Izmir is Turkish since 1000AD before Istanbul. It was a harmonic City along with Jews, Greeks just like Selanik. And the reason was because of Political reasons ordered by Sultan
thx mparmparos for the extensive research and description of the song. a lot of people think it is a popular american song, how stupid ! actually it is one of the very old, widely spread melodies that touched people's hearts through the centuries ! i would appreciate a little bit more respect in the comments, what the heck about is it Greek or Jewish or whatever ? obviously it is arabic or at least arabic influenced and the Greek brought it from Smyrna (Izmir) to greece

nope, you still didn't get my point. It seems that you can't make a distinction between Turks living in Anatolia(who weren't turks yet in the past) and original Turks that live(d) in west-China. The original Turks dominated over the Anatolians and made them the modern-day Turks. But original Turks are genetically extinct because Anatolians were far more numerous than the original Turks. Thus modern day Turks use Turkish culture and language but are genetically not Turkish but Anatolian.

Greeks are the indigenous peoples of the Greece, Balkans, Anatolia, and Mediterranean.
Turks are less Turkic and more Middle-eastern, Anatolian, Iranian, Greek, and Balkan.

@sse4 Turks come from Mongolia. And they are not even in a part Greek. The fact that they raped every european female to make their children look like more european, doesnt make them similar with Greeks. We (Hellenes) exist since 15000 bC and they exist only since 1200 aC. And ofc our history is bigger. We cant neggotiate anything. West M Asia is Hellenic, Pontos is Hellenic, Cyprus is Hellenic and Macedonia is Hellenic. Their first civilians were the Hellenes. Ελλάς νυν υπέρ πάντων.

Misirlou (Greek: Μισιρλού, "Egyptian Girl"; from Turkish Mısırlı, "Egyptian";[1] from Arabic مصر, Miṣr, "Egypt"), is a popular Greek song with a cult-like popularity in five very diverse styles of music: Greek rebetiko, Middle-Eastern belly dancing, Jewish wedding music (Klezmer), American surf rock and international orchestral easy listening (Exotica).

Music belongs to everyone. Nobody can say that this song is greek and that song is english. The only things we can say about a song's origins is its composer and cultural influences.
And it is often the case that a song becomes more popular in a country other than the one its composer lived in, so that country automatically claims ownership of the song. It's as ridiculous as it is common, and I'm ashamed to say it's awfully common in Greece lately.
Enjoy this beautiful tune :)

Some peoples family line is recorded since just after the establishment of the church. Hellene and Roman ethnicity existed long before 18'th century nationalism was established. This is a historic fact.
Because you may not know your family line before the 1900's does mean others do not know well before the 1900's. Many family lineages have been recorded by the churches of Europe, as well as various state records of past and present for tax purposes.

Without a doubt, ALL the cities of eastern Anatolia were originally Greek, now they are not -- but the homeland of Greece was completely overrun by the Ottomans and cities like Salonika had more Turks than Greeks at one point - Ataturk himself was born there.
I would have preferred if Mehmet had not overrun Constantinople, but he did. That's just history, and the way it is. I do think the Turks should restore Hagia Sophia to the Orthodox church - the least they should do if they want in E.U.

3000 years of Turkish History? Come on, man! Let's speak truthfully... What are you talking about? Turks were in Anatolia from 1000 BC? And why are they not mentioned anywhere? It's not a shame to accept your origins! It's no shame being Asian and a far descendant of some Greek, Georgians or Armenian Janissary. It's no shame at all. Shame is not to recognize it. Indeed, the Greek people suffered a lot from Christianity and Byzantium which the Sultanate of Rum didn't cause. But not 3000 years!!!

BTW there is & there was no land called "land of Kurdish" there never happened a free land for them in the history. There was and there is just a region where Kurdish population is too much. It is all because of INVADERS and spies on politics!

The Kurds are in the area of Kurdistan (south eastern Turkish provinces, if you prefer) for more than 3000 years, now. They're descendants of the Medians (Iranian tribe). Ancient Greeks mention them (not as Kurds, though). Kurdish population is a large part of the total population of Turkey. They deserve their own land.

Smirni was a Greek city from 3000BC when Ionian colonists from the Hellenic mainland founded it, to 1922AD when it was destroyed -oops sorry liberated-and all christian population, Greek and Armenian alike, was raped/slaughtered/taken to concentration camps/or forced to flee in terror. So the predominant culture for about 5000years in that city as well as every Ionian city along the coast of Minor Asia,was Greek,and to claim that a song was actually translated from turkish is counter-intuitive.

No matter how much propaganda you receive at school, your country has conducted not one, not two, but 3 fraking holocausts for which not only you re absolutely unapologetic about, but also plain crass.

Greek existense doesnt change anything.Turks have been in and around İzmir for 1000 years.So thanks to harmonic culture of 19th century's İzmir,it can be so easily translated from Turkish.But of course it is just an opinion.There are Ladimo veersions of this song.Firstly be well-informed about sth,then comment.

mparmonum i wonder if that's what you have been thought in Greek schools, which is absolutely bogus knowledge.
Unlike Byzantine Empire, the Greek Culture (along with other minority cultures in ottoman empire) hasn't been touched and stayed until today because of the Turks, you should be grateful for that!
And Yes Izmir is Turkish since 1000AD before Istanbul. It was a harmonic City along with Jews, Greeks just like Selanik. And the reason was because of Political reasons ordered by Sultan
