Herzlich willkommen zu Igel #35! Yirmi bir Türk lezzetine hoş geldiniz!

01. Grup Bunalım - Başak Saçlım [Virgo Hair] (1971)



Bunalım (which means "depression" or "frustration" in Turkish), founded in the summer of 1969, was one of the most well-known underground groups on the Turkish music scene of the early '70s. Although their discography is limited to only a few singles, Bunalım is regarded as a seminal band in Turkish music history, who paved the way for its members to find fame later on in their careers.

Klingt sehr nach 1971, was nur gut sein kann. Toller Opener.

03. Korkut Koray - Yalnızlar Rıhtımı [Lonely Hearts' Quay] (1969)



Schlagzeuger und "kleiner" Bruder des großen Erkin Koray.

Am I the only one in despair?
In the darkness of the night
My eyes are covered in seaweed
On the lonely pier

I cried all night
In the waves' embrace
My eyes are covered in seaweed
On the lonely pier

Have they forgotten me?
The seagulls flew away
The nights, me, and the sea
On the lonely pier

[wahr]

Finde ich super, dass du dich dem Thema widmest, Delia!

04. Fatoş Balkır - Hey!... Taksi (1974)


It's raining, the rivers are overflowing
Damn, there's no bus or dolmuş
Oh no, the same battle on the road every day

I walk slowly, isn't there a taxi or private car?
I said a taxi or minibus, but no, the bus didn't stop either
None of them stopped
I was left stranded again though I have an appointment at 7

The rain has passed
Still there's no minibus, no bus, no nothing
The taxi routes are blocked, there's no solution left

Taxi, wait, wait
It's like this all day long, hour after hour
This torture is unbearable
What's the point, just take me
Hey taxi

There's no bus or minibus to take me anywhere
The roads are jammed, there's no solution, hey
Taxi, wait, wait
It's like this every day for hours
This torture is unbearable What's the point? Just take me

Klasse!

Finde ich super, dass du dich dem Thema widmest, Delia!

Ich habe ja de facto türkische Schwiegereltern. De facto, weil Mr Hardy und ich seit fast 17 Jahren treu nicht verheiratet sind.

[wahr]

In der WIRE gab es mal einen eigenen Primer zu turkish psychedelia.

05. Gülden Karaböcek - Sen Evlisin [You Are Married] (1984)



I know you're married
Your home is waiting for you
You must leave
Before it's too late

We found love untimely
Whatever we do is useless
Our reunion is impossible
Hold on, my heart, hold on

I know you're married
Your home is waiting for you
You must leave
Before it's too late

Without despairing, both of us
Our love must end
This is our destiny
Hold on, my heart, hold on

Remember, you are married
You must return to your home
You must leave now
Before it is too late

Living without hope is hard
Parting while loving is hard
Fate wants it this way
Hold on, my heart, hold on

Even if this love is full of disappointment
Even if longing consumes us
Even if forgetting is hard
Hold on, my heart, hold on

Without us both being damned
This love of ours must end
This is our destiny
Hold on, my heart, hold on
Before it's too late

Was macht überhaupt Senol? Hier lässt er sich überhaupt nicht mehr blicken.
