Arif Sağ - İşte Geldim

sevgili muharrem ertaş a aittir

severek dinlemek

İşte geldim işte gittimYaz çiçeği gibi bittimŞu dünyada ne iş ettimÖmürcüğüm geldi geçtiÇağırdılar imam geldiHerbiri bir işe yeldiAzrail pençesin saldıCan kafesten uçtu gittiİşte geldi yuyucularTenime su koyucularKefenim elinde hocaKefenciğim biçti gittiAyırdılar ilimizdenİp attılar belimizdenPek tuttular kolumuzdanCan cesetten uçtu gittiİlettiler mezarımaSığındım gani KerimeToprak attılar serimeGözüm yaşı taştı gittiİmam telkine başladıBir sevapçık iş işlediKomşular bizi boşladıGeri dönüp kaçtı gittiKabrime bir melek geldiBana bir sualcik sorduHışmedip bir topuz vurduTebdilciğim şaşıp gittiTeslim Abdal oldu tamamİşte geldi ahir zamanYardımcımız Oniki İmamTen türaba karş'tı gittiSöz: Kul HimmetMüzik: Arif Sağ

Welcome back to Anatolia mate :)

biz de yetiştik iyi kötü

İşte geldı giti

bunları hatırlayacak son nesilim

500 yıldır hatırlanıyor senden sonrada hatırlanır merak etme

When I was 18, I spent time in a village in central Turkey.I bought this cassette and was immeditately in love with this mysterious music. But it got lost.Today, 25 years after, I suddenly recall the name of this song (though I can't speak Turkish at all), search it through Youtube, and here it is !

guadalajara4848 I‘m so happy to read this! This kind of „Music“ is called ,,Deyiş” it reveals a little insight into the Alevi faith culture. And once again it was proven that Music doesn’t need any language to connect...u have to listen the little bit newer version of his son Tolga Sağ. https://youtu.be/miL5B5JRTqM thx for sharing !

@Ahmet Tosun Thank you so much, Ahmet, for your answer, and for this new version. Through his son's version, you can hear more distinctly the saz playing while he is singing. If you have time, I would be very happy to know the translation of a few words from this song, which is so haunting. Greetings from Belgium

@Eric Fraiture First of all sorry for delay Eric and merci for your interest! i wish I could translate this words of passion and the love to human being but my English is not so very well to translate this difficult and deep meaning words. What I can say to you is that some words are describe the love to human being, the love to god also to be a good human to should stay away from malice and treat each other with love. At the center of every “Deyiş” is the human being and the passion to the almighty. Moreover, they remember to be a good person and to follow the right way to be integrity (İnsan-ı kamil). many and kind regards ahmet :)

G’day brother. I loved reading this comment. At the moment i just finished a bottle of turkish raki started pouring from the next bottle. Turned this music on and came across with your comment. These songs are our democracy and freedom. Keep that cassette you have because we dont come across with saz players like this. That cassette will worth a lot later. Love from Australia/Melbourne

This is real anatolien and alevi philosophy , I wish you understant words mean.. I if you like I can translate it for you

Muhtesem bir deyis !
