I know this song isn't in turkish. But if there is somebody who knows this language, could you please translate the lyrics into english?


Didou Nana

Oropa ardzo arti varen
Çkim iveri nçari çkvaşa
Miordini miçkutu do
Goytiroku ma si çkvaşa
Miordini miçkutu do
Didou do na ni na

Huriyadas çima ndğasu
Skani mamulyas makipginam
Kankaleşa gamkomile
Vaşilebu taşi rina
Kankaleşa gamkomile
Didou do na ni na

Seri do ndğaşi arti mapu
Skani şaras ginocinepu
Skani dudi midamiğuru
Şkvak kargi mokileku
Skani dudi midamiğuru
Didou do na ni na

Ah orapa si ncgiri ndğaşi
Guri muço domixaşi
Seri iri şeni seriren do
Kukumela naku ndğaşi
Seri iri seriren do
Didou do na ni na

maybe is it grece?

the video here is subtitled. it may be the translation to turkish.

its not greek, this language is the language of black sea turks, its called 'lazuri' in turkish its called 'lazca'. Its close to Georgian..

I dont know if the poem or "subtitles" on that link above, is a translation of this song but i doubt that they are..

why dont you move this thread to the miscellanous language translation.. i think you are more likely to get help there..

oh, i just googled it and found its Turkish translation..

I translated it to english..

not every lover is the same
my iver (i guess its a name) is for another
I knew she was in love with me but
you gave up on me for another (man)

SHivering on a cold morning
i m taking a stroll in your farm
mindless and aimlessly
your every move is impossible
what am i to do without you

days and nights united became one
im looking at (your) roads
you died for me
other peoples lovers returned

ah my lover how in my good days
you wrecked my heart
night is a night for everyone
(i hope) you ll sleep day time too (meaning you ll die i guess.. dont know)

Its megrelce.A part of georgian language,thanks for the translation.By the way lol at LaaSemaa

hehe

Oh, i love k. koyuncu and to be perfectly honest i love the music and language of the black sea... so you're welcome and it is my pleasure to translate the song.. i wish i could understand the original lyrics too..

And laSemaa, dont you worry.. its a very easy mistake to make.. Because of the Pontians, or Pontic Greeks of the Black Sea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontic_Greeks).. I dont wanna go too much into that but any odd language spoken in the area is very normal to be assumed to have something to do with Greeks or Greece..

The same here but not all the music that come from Black Sea.Mainly Kazım Koyuncu,Volkan Konak,Fuat Saka,Şevval Sam...

Volcan, I have an interesting fact for you.. (cos I know you love the Black Sea culture, language and music, or perhaps you are from there.. are you??) Anyway, apperantly the language of this song has nothing to do with Georgean.. because yesterday I was with a friend who is a Pontiac Greek from Georgia, I said that the Black Sea region has a language of its own, and made her listen to didou nana.. and although she speaks Georgean, Greek and a bit of Turkish she couldnt understand anything.. EVeryone told us that this was Armenian..

I thought this was quite interesting, considering the history of the region, and wanted to tell you too.. Cos I know you like the region like I do..

No I am from central Anatolia.I have also researched before and asked a georgian friend.She said he uses a similar* language with theirs(georgian).As you know Kazım Koyuncu is from Artvin and Artvin was controlled by Georgia after the first world war.So georgian folks lived here too,after we had taken Artvin back,some ppl stayed here thats why this language is still spoken there.Maybe I am wrong but I also listen armenian songs so i dont think that this song is armenian...

oh! Im not sure too.. but because we were ensured by a georgian-speaker that the song is not Georgian or similar, we thought it was probably armenian.. well.. we were a group of greeks and turks so i guess we were not the right people to ensure anyone that the song is armenian anyway.. cos none of us know the language.. I think its an interesting language though.. and sounds nice

So..You're from Central Anatolia... another beautifully rich culture... its amazing how many different cultures and languages are united in one country, they are all different yet they re all a part of the same entirety.. i think thats what makes us a culturally very rich country

There is also a language called Hamshenis (Hemşince) maybe this song's is this.This is really complicated situation.Lets just listen the song hehe.And I agree with you by the way i have some question about you and you said greek-turk group and i think its about special life also I don't wanna bother the topic...

haha you know what they say.. curiosity killed the cat!! You're right maybe we should just listen to the song and enjoy but i cant help it and want to find out more about the languages spoken in our country.. Turkey is like a gold mine the more you dig, the more you want to dig because culturally it is so rich and beautiful..
And Volkan (thats your name right?) You can ask me whatever you want.. that greek-turkish group is just that i have many turkish friends ( because i m turkish and i love turks :P) and my fiance is greek (so he has many greek friends) and yesterday we had a dinner party where we all were together.. a big turkish-greek group discussing what language dudou nana is..m hahahaha
