At 2:52 he says “In an inn with only two doors, I keep walking day and night” Doors are refered as birth and death and inn is the Earth.
Earth has two doors: enter and exit. Everyday we are getting closer to exit door.

This song original by Aşık Veysel (1894 - 1974)
Aşık Veysel was born in Turkey in 1894. He caught smallpox at the age of seven, often a deadly disease. He survived the illness, but lost eyesight of the left eye. After an accident, he lost sight of the right eye as well, which left him blind. This is when, with his father's encouragement, he took possession of a saz and started playing it. He was instructed by a friend of his father, who taught him works of the great "aşık"s such as Pir Sultan Abdal, Karacaoğlan, Dertli, and Rühsati.

The events around and following the first world war and his blindness, have had a deep impact on Aşık Veysel's art, and generally may be summed up under the rubrics of loss and death. He was left virtually alone in the village with women (all men went to the war). After the war, he got married to Esma, and they had a son and a daughter from this marriage. His mother died in 1921 and soon after his son died. His wife Esma left him and their 6 month old daughter and ran away with a houseworker in his brother's house. He lost his father 18 months after his mother died. His daughter did not live long either. All these losses packed into a short period of time are felt intensely in some of his best work such as "Benim Sadik Yarim Kara Topraktir", "Uzun Ince Bir Yoldayim", and "Dostlar Beni Hatirlasin".

And a story about Aşık Veysel ; Uncomfortable Shoes ... - Âşık Veysel (Real story of him)

In a village in the middle provinces of Anatolia, the sun slowly begins to sink and air starts to fade. The dark is thoroughly over the village of the crane. A woman and a man prepare to sleep in one of the houses. Early to sleep, tomorrow's sabbath, the sun will wake up early. The man changes his face, he turns to his bed.
In the light of the house window, in the shadow of the dark garden, a shadow appears among the trees. The woman looks out of the window and smiles. The woman has a lovely another man ...
Just as they speak, the man waits for him at the hour and place where they speak. As soon as the woman is sure of her husband's sleep ...
Silently walks up, worn over ... And jumps down from the window.
For another man ... The woman will leave her husband ...
The runners are two lovers ... They are running away ... The fields and the fields ...
How they run a village in Anatolia. There are so many things to pursue from behind ... Honesty. ... Poverty ... Cephas ... Fear ... How can they stand when they are behind them ...
When they are sure of their departure from the village, they will stop to breathe ...
The woman has the opportunity to hesitate and says breathlessly;

"Ever since I left the house, there's something in my shoe that bugs me ..."

They will take it off!
A wad of money in your shoes!
Her husband is aware of everything ... He knows she will go ...
"She will leave me, but I have drank the yearly her soup for so many years, she did wash my clothes, she was ironed.
WATCH HAVE TO BE HANDLED!
He is a poor peasant;
All the money; his wife, who had left him for another man, gradually put his footsteps away in her shoe ...
That beautiful man ...
That honorable act ...
He abandoned the man was Aşık Veysel.

Yorumlarda bunun hakkında pek bişey görmüyorum ancak şarkıların İngilizce çevirileri de muhteşem.

Inconstestablement l'une des plus belles œuvres musicaux, un bonheur classique. Mes salutations de la FRANCE.

[Animac.Mentis]

Bir türkünün sözlerini İngilizceye çevirmek hiç de kolay bir iş değil. Çeviri yapanı da ayrıca tebrik etmek gerek.

[thiagosallles]

not like a lot of music of the 70s, I'm over 60, but loved this song, I knew only the instrumental version of it that was found in a collection of psychedelic music of Turkey, I confess that I was surprised that she has a version with lyrics ... this is a song that soothes the mind and helps to relax

[williamveres]

An all time classic, this is as good as any British or American song of the period.

kaset olarak çıktığında almıştım 45 liği. sanırım 80 lerdi. yarı ergen ben arabesk takılıyordum daha çok. arkadaşlar arasında müziğe yeni bir soluk getirmiştim. benimle baya dalga geçmişlerdi müslümcüler.
