From your AIFD Teaching Director: |
 Is there a dance you especially want to learn, or that you can't quite get by following behind the line? Send your teaching requests to Sharon at teaching_director@aifd.cc; she'll see what can go on the teaching schedule for summer and fall. - Sharon Casteel

Işte Hendek, Işte Deve
Here is a ditch, here is a camel
Phantom Ranch. Bariş is the author of this song.
|
Kuyu başına vardım,
Zeynebim bekler diye.
Nasıl haberin almışa,
Dayı emmi hep orda,
Dediler ne ararsın?
Kızı almak m'istersin?
Sana bir çift sözümüz var,
Hele buysa niyetin.
Chorus:
İşte hendek, işte deve,
Ya atlarsın ya düşersin,
Baktın olmaz vazgeçersin,
Zordur almak bizden kızı.
I işte Halep, işte arşın,
Ya aşarsın ya biçersin,
Baktın olmaz vazgeçersin,
Zordur almak bizden kızı.
Söğüdün dalı uzun,
Barış'ın gönlü hüzün,
Elim eline değmedi,
Varın anlayın gayri.

I came to the well,
Thinking my Zeyneb would be waiting.
Somehow her uncles found out
And they were already there.
They said "What are you looking for?
Do you want to marry the girl?
We have a few words to say to you
If this is indeed your plan."
Chorus:
"Here is a ditch, here is a camel.
Either leap over (on camelback) or fall in.
If you think you can't, then give up.
It's hard to get our daughter from us!
Here's Aleppo (a distant city),
Here’s the yardstick.
Either you get there or you try to measure up.
If you think you can't, then give up!
"It's hard to get our daughter from us!"
The branch of the willow is long.
The heart of Barış is sad.
I never even touched her hand with mine.
I'll let you figure out the rest.
