BIR SANA BIRDE BANA - Baba Zula
This is the version with Brenda MacCrimmon singing this great song. I recommend
everyone who is interested
in turkish music to watch "crossing the bridge: the sound of istanbul" by fatih
akin. Anyway that's how i
came to find this band. I gave it my best shot for the translation of the lyrics,
if you have suggestions
for improvements i'm all ears, though i doubt there'll be many people reading this
tab anyway... ;)
As there is no prior tab for Baba Zula, here is the youtube-video for the song,a
link to the band's website and their discogs profile:

INTRO
[Dmaj7] [-] [Bm7] [-] [Em] [-] [F#m]
VERSE
Bulutlarin stn[Bm]den (From over the clouds)
Biraktim ben ken[F#m]dimi (I let myself go)
Sonunu dsnme[Bm]den (Without thinking of the end)
Duygular sarinca [F#m]beni (As i'm wound up with emotions)
Gizlice tuttum [Em]elini (Secretly i held your hand)
[A]Yzne baktim u[Bm]sulca (Softly i looked at your face)
[F#m]Gzlerin fisilda[G]di aaah (Your eyes whispered "aaah") \
Em F#m x2
Mutlulugu yavasa (Gentleness is bliss) /
REFRAIN
ieklerin kok[G]usu (The scent of flowers)
Dalgalarin sar[F#m]kisi (The song of the waves)
Rzgarin fisil[G]tisi (The whisper of the wind)
[Em]Bir sana bir d[F#m]e bana (One for you and one for me) x2
Dmaj7 - Bm7 - Em - F#m x2
VERSE
Bahede hanim[Bm]eli (The honeysuckle in the garden)
Gkyznde yi[F#m]ldizlar (Stars in the night sky)
Yagmurun narin [Bm]sesi (Rain's tender voice)
Simdi bir anl[F#m]ami var (It all has meaning now)
Ask nasil da kir[Em]ilgan (How delicate love is)
[A]Sus dedim ama [Bm]olmadi ("Be quiet" i said, but to no avail)
[F#m]Kalbimden ismin ge[G]ti aaah (My heart whispered your name "aaah") \
Em F#m x2
Kimseler duymadi (But noone noticed) /
REFRAIN
ieklerin kok[G]usu (The scent of flowers)
Dalgalarin sar[F#m]kisi (The song of the waves)
Rzgarin fisil[G]tisi (The whisper of the wind)
[Em]Bir sana bir d[F#m]e bana (One for you and one for me) x3
