Bir Tel Çektim Mardin'den | Anatolian Folk Reimagined

Описание: “Bir Tel Çektim Mardin’den” brings the spirit of traditional Middle Eastern folk to life with a powerful male vocal at its core. The song unfolds in a minor key with a steady, moderate tempo, blending emotional storytelling with rich acoustic textures. A call-and-response flow between the lead singer and the backing chorus adds depth and cultural authenticity.

Lyrics:
Bir tel çektim Mardinden
Bin ah çektim derinden
Bin ah çektim derinden
(Le le le yar sabiha)

Bab-ı sor suyu gibi
Yaş gelir gözlerimden
Yaş gelir gözlerimden
(Le le le yar sabiha)

Dama seriyor hedik
Saçları bellik, bellik
Saçları bellik, bellik
(Le le le yar sabiha)

Üzerlik yaptırayım
Gelmesin sana kemlik
Gelmesin sana kemlik
(Le le le yar sabiha)

Hamaylı var boynunda
Cerresi var kolunda
Cerresi var kolunda
(Le le le yar sabiha)

Çifte kurban adadım
Sultan Şehmuz yolunda
Sultan Şehmuz yolunda
(Le le le yar sabiha)

A warm string section weaves melodic counterlines around the vocals, while grounded percussion drives the rhythm forward. A clarinet-style wind instrument dances through the arrangement, intertwining with the vocal phrases and enhancing the song’s expressive character. With dry, natural production and minimal effects, every breath, bow, and drum hit feels intimate and real.
