Hi everybody,
I had yesterday some oriental dance training with an egyptian teacher. For the warm up he used a turkish pop song.

It was a male sing, up beat rhythm, maybe Tarkan but I am not sure; and in the refrain the singer said something like TOK TOK. Our teacher said he was told by some turkish people that this means "Let´s go" (Yalla !)

I hope anybody knows the song. I need singer and title so I can buy the CD.

Thank you in advance and have a nice day

Do you have any more information for example some words he says...

Hi Volcano,
no unfortuntelly not; I was so concentrated on our movements. I remember it was a very catchy song and we used it for warm up with some jazz movements. It was upbeat but with oriental tunes.
At the end of this workshop I asked the songs name and singer but he didn´t know, just that the refrain TOK TOK (or something similar) means Let´s go/Let´start; the arabic synonym would be YALLA and the greek one ELLA or BAME.

I am repeating myself....; I guess that is is a new song; and the style of music reminded me on Tarkan.

..... :-) Tahira

Hi Volcano, I hope you are somewhere aroung here:

I have received now the music cd of this class, and the song ist called TÜKGÜRT.

So, maybe you can tell me the artist, it would be great.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean this song ?

Canım ister birisini
Fıkır fıkır çiftetelli
Deli dolu olması lazım
Şıkır şıkır döktürmesi lazım

Döktür döktür şimdi eller havaya
Döktür döktür parmaklar şıplatmaya
Döktür döktür elleri dizlere vurmaya
Olmadı şimdi hep beraber bir daha

Döktür döktür şimdi eller havaya
Döktür döktür parmaklar şıplatmaya
Döktür döktür elleri dizlere vurmaya
Şimdi oldu devamı da az sonra

Yes, Volcano, exactly this one.

YOu don´t need to translate it word by word it would be enough if you give me the general message of this song.

Thanks in advance!

My heart wants someone
With a bubbling noise çiftetelli(kind of folk dance)
She should be thoughtlessly babbling
She should dance jingling

Dance,dance now,hands up
Dance,dance,fingers with dripping sound
Dance,dance,hit the hands to the knee
It didn't happen,again all together

Dance,dance now,hands up
Dance,dance,fingers with dripping sound
Dance,dance,hit the hands to the knee
Its ok now,It will continue soon after

Thank you very much !
Tahira
