Song

Ann says this about this weeks song:

I picked one with a Saz. :> The fellow who
made the recording (Bora Ozkok) was one of the dance
instructors for the folk dance troup I was in many
years ago.

Kendime means by myself. Some of the lyrics are:

I asked the lamb about my problem –it baa’d,
I asked the fox–it lied,
I confided in the nightingale– it did not help.

Chorus
I couldn’t find a single cure for my ailment,
I asked and searched by myself, just myself.
Tell me my saz,
Yelelelliiii, yelelelli

I made friends with the earth and made dust.
With the wind, I roamed the hills,
I became rain and came down the mountains.

Chorus
I couldn’t find a single cure for my ailment,
I asked and searched by myself, just myself.
Tell me my saz,
Yelelelliiii, yelelelli

Sort of a blues-style. Make yourself feel better by
singing about your troubles.

Cheers,
Ann
