The Story of the song:
In 1948,Ali Ercan fell for a girl with black eyebrows,black eyes and nearly tanned skin named Emel in the pavillion he had worked in İstanbul.Everything was fine till one day their ways seperated.That was the rule of the nature that was probable for every bachelor,to love and to wait.
Even years passed,Ercan was never able to forget Emel.In 1959,after the invitation of Neziha Babacaner,the music teacher in Gaziantep Teacher School,he went to Gaziantep so as to participate in folk dances show.At that time,he had agreed with a pavillion there and started to work there.That night he saw Emel again in that pavillion.After eleven years having passed, coincidences had brought them together.
Emel's bedroom was just facing the room Ercan sleeped.That night,not being able to escape the effect of the joy of first love,Ercan couldn't sleep till the following morning.At the dawn the door was knocked on and there was an old lady standing.She said "Son,why don't you sleep?"Then he found out that that old lady was Emel's mother.Later Emel came and said :"The mountains between us should come to an end any more. However,it seemed that the face of Emel's mother getting uglier left a weird impression on Ercan who then unrevealed the melody and lyrics of this folk song like a lightning.After mother and daughter went,Ercan wrote off everything on the paper and with this reason,that night that song was sung on the stage in the pavillion and got famous.
