I have been looking for this song for the last forty years I am so glad I found it at last thanks to Shazam.

A charming woman, a beautiful voice and the most beautiful song I ever heard. I heard she had egyptian origin. Safiye died a few years ago, 91 years old. She was Atatürk's favourite singer. Rockybrazil1

no matter whose music it is bu t it is beautiful. I am an Azerbaijani musician, we have a piece very similar to this whose date of birth goes back to 13th century by the name of "Bayati shiraz daramadi". It has been composed by Abdolqadir Maragali.

@AntiKyrgyz I'm not a Jew, I'm Christian Greek. The "normal" thing is to claim that the music is Greek but I want to be objective, All my sources are telling that this music came from Spain in 15th century AD. Anyway, we are talking about very old music, so we can't be 100% sure about the origin.

[AntiKyrgyz]

@Aegipan80 false, it has nothing to do with jews.

[AntiKyrgyz]

@Aegipan80 false, Uskudar is a place in Turkey not spain, man you jews really act liek you own everything. please stop bullshitting. There were separdic jews who moved into Turkey, that's how they adopted it.

"Türkülerin en güzelin biri"

- No matter who sang first! There´s hardly any other song, that represents Turkish Classic Music and mentalitiy as much as this one does. At times i´m short before crying when i sing along.

Thank you

Very touching, great recording.

As for the origin of the song, as far as I know the music is Sephardic Jewish, after the expultion of Jews from Spain it came to the Ottoman empire and was passed to varius cultures. Another proof about how music can unite people.
