- I knew a phrase from Mevlana Rumi (a sufi philosopher used live in Konya/Turkey) to exlplain this relation.. he said, the relation between person and money is similar to the relationship between a boat and the water. Boat needs the water to sail its destination as its purpose If a boat fills up with water, it sinks.0 votedApril 29, 20100
- Yulduz Usmonova <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyYQzLll1j8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyYQzLll1j8</a>
I found this interview video in Turkish TV.
Yulduz hanim yaman kadin. (I hope you understood what I said. We call Yildiz). She is a star.
I know people in China and Turkey may not see the youtube. She was in one term Uzbek parliment. She gave her opinion about politicians. Ihad no idea. She was in New Yor last year. I should have seen her. She had tow Turkish songs "babacigim= dedecan" and "öp= kiss".
How do you say "öp" in Ozbek.April 29, 201040 - Most of Turkish songs talk about " unreciprocated love" "seperation anxiety from the lover" "a lover that doesn't care" "a supposedly lover who even does not know who you are because never notices you" "a lover who dies unexpectedly or gets sick and dies before holding hands or get an innocent kiss" Almost each song is a sad song about a sobbing story like those. They call this "platonic love."
In the USA, sometimes they ask me after i translate what the song says. The response is " don't you have no song about happiness, joy, and enjoyment. Why do you liste to these? " I hardly come up with an answer. This must be the Middle-Eastern and Mid-Asia mentality. Misery sells. People who writes the lyrics love to talk about misery and people who listens them find somehing to relate to their own lives.
Ozbeks, do you like mostly sad songs too to identfy or keep alive your miseries when you listen them?0 votedApril 29, 20100 - Derya Kenarindan gectim soguk sularindan ictim
(I passed by the creek (derya also means river) and drank its cold water)
Bu derde ben hardan dustum
(I got into this trouble due to "har")
Bilemem bilemem bilemem yar bilemem
(I don't know, I don't know, I do not know love, I don't know)
? gelmez, gelif bu halimi sormaz
(I did not understand the begining) doesn't come, if comes don't ask my situation
perisanim kimsem sormaz
(I am devastated (because) nobody cares (or ask how I am doing))
Bilemem bilemem bilemem yar bilemem
(I don't know, I don't know, I do not know love, I don't know)
Har: This might be "love" in Azeri. We call it "Ask"
Now, it is your turn to translate it to Ozbek.

The song has very simple lyrics:
Derya kenarından gectim soguk sularindan ictimBu derde ben hardan ( i do not know what har means) dustumBilemem bilemem bilemem yar bilemem? gelmez gelir bu halimi sormazperisanim kimsem sormazBilemem bilemem bilemem yar bilemem

Here is an song (Azize) which was redone recently. it will give you an idea how Turkish sounds. If you are interested, I can translate it as ell. I hope you can watch youtube.

This "men bormanku" is tough to understand. I do not see "you" at all. We say "I'm here" in Turkey is "Ben buradayim" Here =Burasi at here "burada" I'm is yim
Actually you can drop the subject "Men" or "Ben" and say it like "buradayim"
As I said I do not understand how this can be translated as "You have me"
I would say that in Turkish "ben seninim" Probobly it translates "men sening'im"
I know it is a love song. What she says as "don't be a stupid. I am here. (or you have me)" makes sense.0 votedApril 24, 20100
