Hi,

Thanks

He he heyamo, yamo hemo he yamo, he yamoli he yamo.
He he heyamo, Dadis ugun noderi
He he heyamo, Dopxaskat do vigzalat
He he heyamo, Mani mani dalepe
He he heyamo, So bzirat ham ndgalepe
He he heyamo, Zeni çkunis noderi
He he heyamo, Tutaste iven seri
He he heyamo, Vibirt xacker xackeri
He he heyamo, Hem seri hem ndgaleri
He he heyamo, Andga kai taroni
He he heyamo, Dadi soren termoni
He he heyamo, Ora mokilu ordu
He he heyamo, Opskomat komogi do

but it's not a dialect. Because it's not turkish. I guess it's Georgian language. I know Georgians who live in the northeast of turkey especially Artvin. But I don't know Georgian language, I'm sorry

Hi, this sounds me better... It's possible for you to contact your georgian friends and ask for this song?

[bogazici86]

I will try to contact with them. If I can, I will write the translation here. But it can make you wait, I'm sorry from now.

[slorenz]

ok, I wait. Thanks

It's the Laz language.I found the translation on net.(It is totally foreign language to me even though I am from Black Sea region.)


The aunts are working together, hoeing,

Hurry sisters,

Days like this are rare/fleeting.

Working together on the plains,

Taking advantage of the moonlight,

We sing songs while hoeing,

All day, all night.

Today�s weather is beautiful,

Aunt, where is the Termoni*?

It's getting late and we are hungry!

*Termoni is a type of food made from beans and Armut (a kind of pear) or grape.

Thank you Milena,
I saw that the lines of the translation are not the same as the original text. What we have lost? Do you now where to find the rest? And second question is: "heyamo" means "hurry", is that true?

[Milena]

You're welcome slorenz.

I was aware that the lines of the translation are not the same as the original text.I could not find other English translation but I found the Turkish translation of the song.I will translate it for you if nobody tries before me.

And after a little search I learned that "heyamo" doesn't mean "hurry" ,it means (heyamo or heymoni) the fun and work songs that sung to get common excitement and rhythm.

And the Turkish translation of the song:

he he heyamo
teyzenin imecesi var
Aunt has a collective labor
he he heyamo,
kazalım da gidelim
Let's dig and go
he he heyamo,
çabuk çabuk kız kardeşler
Hurry hurry sisters
he he heyamo,
nerde buluruz bu günleri
Where do we find those days?
he he heyamo,
düzümüzde imece
Collective labor in our plain
he he heyamo,
ay ışığı olur gece
Night becomes moonlight
he he heyamo,
şarkı söylüyoruz, kaza kaza
We are singing while digging
he he heyamo,
hem gündüz hem de gece
Both at daytime and at night
he he heyamo,
bugün güzeldir hava
Today the weather is beautiful
he he heyamo,
teyze termoni nerede
Aunt where is the termoni
he he heyamo,
zaman çabuk geçti
Time passed quickly
he he heyamo,
yiyelim getir de
Let's eat bring it

Hope it helps.
