Yozgat Blues Page #6

and very excited.

Rather like children

breaking their fast.

Like a runaway exile

drinking thirstily on the quiet.

I say your name

as if defending a country.

With heart and soul, strong,

from deep inside.

Ready to give my life. As if waiting

with my heart against a rugged rock.

Hello, everyone. I'm Kamil on 96.7 FM.

Welcome to the Sound of Yozgat.

We're together again

for a night of poetry.

Before we begin the show,

a quick announcement.

I look forward to seeing you

at my poetry readings...

...at the Municipal Culture Centre

this and every Thursday.

Now, I have two important guests.

They've been kind enough

to join me tonight.

Musicians Nee Hanm and Yavuz Bey

are both here from stanbul.

Welcome to them both.

And they're performing live at Delila

in amlk. A superb musical fiesta.

I've seen them and was dazzled.

I'd urge you to see for yourselves.

Now, a question for you, Yavuz Bey.

Separation, love or sorrow?

Thank you.

My answer to every question in life

is music.

An amazing answer, great.

OK, Nee Hanm?

I say music, too.

Right, OK.

Music wins the night. Which means

tonight will be a night of music.

- Good evening.

- Welcome.

Those china dishes in the window,

do you have any more like them?

Sure, there's all kinds here.

What sort of thing do you want?

Yes, that's a possibility.

Do you have any more?

There's this.

To be alive is a deep gash on my face

My dreams trickle away, like blood

If you look me in the face,

I'll die, you know?

If you look me in the face,

I'll die

If you look me in the face,

night will fall, never-ending

If you look me in the face,

I'll die, you know?

If you look me in the face,

night will fall, never-ending

My beloved

I am lost, without words,

without direction

If you look me in the face

I'll die, despairing

Anyone can read poetry.

You don't need to be an expert.

But to do it well, you need to know

something about literature.

I've been writing poems

since childhood. I know the poets.

Tevfik Fikret, Orhan Veli,

Mehmet Akif, Necip FazI, Nazm Hikmet.

Nazm is amazing, for example.

I read his last collection of poems.

They're unbelievably moving.

And...

I think by focusing on poetry,

we tend to overlook folk songs.

I read folk song lyrics

with instruments accompanying me.

But people want the songs sung, too.

So I want to do all three at once.

Meanwhile, I've seen you on stage.

And seriously, I was close to tears.

You have an incredible aura.

I was blown away.

In a nutshell, I'd like

to do this project with you, Nee.

I mean, will you work with me?

What do you say to Kamil's offer?

Kamil's a good person.

But it's up to you.
