Cem Adrian - Odam Kireç Tutmuyor from Turkish to English

Odam kireç tutmuyor
Kumunu katmayinca
Sevdan bastan gitmiyor
Sarilip yatmayinca

(Repertuvar)
Odam kireç tutmuyor
Biraz kum katmayinca
Gönül rahat etmiyor
Yare laf atmayinca
(Yarini görmeyince)

Odam kireçtir benim
Yüzüm güleçtir benim
Soyunda gir koynuma
Tenim ilaçtir benim

(Repertuvar)
Odam kireçtir benim
Yüzüm güleçtir benim
Hangi tasa sarilsam
Emegim bostur benim

Baba ben dervis miyem
Hirkami giymis miyem
Ben sevdim eller aldi
Niye ben ölmüs müyem

Odani kireç eyle
Yüzünü güleç eyle
Soyun da gir koynuma
Terimi ilaç eyle

(Repertuvardaki baglanti)
Haydi yarim evde misin evde misin
Silinmeyen camlara perde misin

Odam Kireçtir Benim- my room is made of lime
Seslendiren: Ahmet Kaya, Emrah, Ezginin Günlüğü, Zülfü Livaneli,Cem Adrian


Odam kireç tutmuyor-my room doesnt accept lime
Kumunu katmayınca-without mixing it with sand
Sevda baştan gitmiyor-ur love doesnt leave my head alone
Sarılıp yatmayınca-without lying holding you

Baba ben derviş miyem-dad,am i dervish(who is so wise and gifted)
Hırkamı giymiş miyem-am i in my coat(dervishes wears it always)
Ben sevdim eller aldı-i loved,strangers took
Niye ben ölmüş müyem-why,am i dead

Odamı kireç eyle-make my room limed
Yüzümü güleç eyle-make my face smiled
Yandım aşkın elinden-i am burnt by the hand of love
Gel bana ilaç eyle-come and make me cure

Odam kireçtir benim-my room is made of lime
Yüzüm güleçtir benim-my face is smileful
Soyun da gel yanıma-wear off and come to my near
Tenim ilaçtır benim-my skin is cure

Yes he is the one..neither in Turkey nor in the world,i have never hear a voice like his voice..he can change it as how he wants..

I appreciate also his style.. it is, according to me, both traditional and modern.
Sometimes he makes me think to Angel's voices.....
Moreover I like very much the light in his eyes while he sings..

I think that Turkish people have a natural way to module theyr voices that is amazing! Is the art of "Melisma" , is the singing of a single syllable of text while moving between several different notes in succession.
The Melisma is common among the music of mediterranen countries, infact also Sicilia music has...but the way of turkish or arabic people is a little more difficult to imitate.
