New song - Shur tesnifi

OK, I just learned this new song - and it ain't easy to sing! Quite fast and a lot of difficult-to-pronounce words. So be kind in your comments!

Wonderful song though. Will keep working on it.

Watch it here and below.

Şur təsnifi

This is a new song I have just learned. It is very lively and fun to sing. I will try to translate today. I'll make a recording on Tuesday when I have a lesson with my singing teacher. I won't translate the Gəl-gəl ay aman exactly - it is Come, come, oh mercy (doesn't sound so good in English...) As usual I begin thinking it will be a piece of cake and it turns out to be harder to translate than I thought. Comments from native speakers are most welcome!

Atlandın keçdin daşdan,
  Gəl-gəl ay aman.
Yaşmağın düşdü başdan,
  Gəl-gəl ay aman.
Məhəbbət yoxmuş səndə,
  Gəl-gəl ay aman.

Gözüm qurudu yaşdan,

  Gəl-gəl ay aman.

nəq.:

Atəşim var, külüm yox,

Bülbül oldum, gülüm yox.

Mən bu eşqə düşəni,

Ağlanmaqdan günüm yox.

Əzizim xuda səni,

  Gəl-gəl ay aman.

Saxlasın xuda səni,

  Gəl-gəl ay aman.

Xəyalınla yatıram,

  Gəl-gəl ay aman.

Görüm yuxuda səni,

  Gəl-gəl ay aman.

You jumped over a rock,

Your veil fell from your head,

If you have no love,

My eyes are dry from crying.

Chorus:

There is fire but no coals,

There is a nightgale, but no flower.

I have fallen in love,

My days are destroyed with crying.

God knows you are my dear,

God preserve you!

I sleep and dream,

I see you in my dreams.

More Shur

Sure is hot and dusty in Baku. And sure is a great time to play some Shur Mugham!

Friends have been pestering me to show my face on a video, so here goes. As you can see from the big sigh at the beginning, I'm not very happy about this! Ha ha! Too bad Colleen!

Deməli, Aytan, Nigar, Hafiz və sair... bax bunu!
