Karahisar Kalesi Yıkılır Gelir (Anonim)
Incorrect!
I know that is of Anatolian culture BUT.. I sense a lot of Hun, Mongol influence here. No wonder they lost their wars against desert psychopaths, and got fucked in the head and started worshipping the Devil! You can take that Tengri and shove it where the sun don't shine! And give back Constantinople to us beautiful White Christian Europeans! Or we will take what is ours by force! You have been warned!
This is not a war song, it is a song of separation and love.
I think you westerners perceive us as people pursuing the Great Ottoman project, as our leader reflects it you. However, we have nothing to do with it.
The lyrics here contain a high level of subliminal messages and deep meanings.
Karahisar kalesi yıkılır gelir,
Zülüfler gerdana dökülür gelir, dökülür gelir.
Ver elini karlı dağlar aşalım bayramlaşalım
The castle of Karahisar falls and comes,
The braids fall onto the neck, they fall and come.
Give me your hand, lets cross the snowy mountains, lets celebrate the holiday.
Yayladan gel allı gelin yayladan
Kesme ümidini kadir Mevladan kadir Mevladan
Come from the plateau, oh red bride, come from the plateau
Do not lose hope in the mighty God, the mighty God
Sen bir koyun olaydın ben de bir kuzu
Meleye meleye getirem yazı
If you were a sheep, I would be a lamb
Slowly, slowly I bring the summer
Ver elini karlı dağlar aşalım bayramlaşalım
Yayladan gel allı gelin yayladan
Kesme ümidini kadir Mevladan, kadir Mevladan
Give me your hand, lets cross the snowy mountains, lets celebrate the holiday
Come from the plateau, oh red bride, come from the plateau
Do not lose hope in the mighty God, the mighty God
Since the lyrics of this song are anonymous, there are different versions of it. However, the general idea of the song is as follows. From what I understand from this story, the authors beloved or his daughter has been imprisoned in Karahisar Castle. In order for her to return, the castle must be destroyed. However, this is no ordinary castle; it is located in a position that, with the technology of that time, and even with todays technology, would be almost impossible to conquer.
Perhaps now, it could be captured by airplane or helicopter, but thinking in terms of the past, it is likely that a soldier stationed in the castle has kidnapped one of the authors daughters or his beloved, and her return seems impossible. However, with the idea of her returning by using the plateau roads, the song was written, even though this seems quite unlikely.
I don't think this will have any effect on the Ottoman march to Istanbul, Edirne, Vienna and Berlin, do you?
Alright, now I will continue with this. I wont let you ruin my mood.
