This is a very famous anonymous piece, probably compiled from the Eskisehir region. The modern arrangement is still an anthem amongst the left wing Turkish youth, and is heartbreaking. In contrast, the original version is quite lively.
The lyrics and their english translation are as follows:
Odam Kirec Tutmuyor
Odam kirectir benim
Yuzum gulectir benim
Soyun da gir koynuma
Terim ilactir benim
Odam kirec tutmuyor
Kumunu katmayınca
Sevda bastan gitmiyor
Sarilip yatmayinca
Baba ben dervis miyem
Hirkami giymis miyem
Ben sevdim eller aldi
Baba ben olmus muyem
My Room Won't Hold the Lime
My room is of lime
My face is cheerful
Take off your clothes and come to my bosom
My sweat is medicine
My room won't hold the lime,
Unless its sand is mixed
The pain of love won't ease
Without sleeping in the lover's embrace
Father am I a dervish?
Have I put on my coat?
I loved, but someone else had my loved one,
Father, am I dead?
Muthis bir insan, muthis bir eser!!! Katkisi olan herkese tesekkurler!
