Alpay - Dağlar Engel Oldu (1974)

Born in 1935, Alpay was one of the most productive musicians of the era, releasing countless albums and 45’s up to today. He experimented with a number of genres such as folk, rock and pop. He is known for his soft and bloomy voice, and he has even sung in Italian and French. His hit songs include “Eylülde Gel” and “Fabrika Kızı.” His version of “Kirpiklerin Ok Ok Eyle,” which is an old folk song that has been covered by countless musicians, was released in 1967 by Sayan label. His interpretation of the song is interestingly short (it is only 2 minutes long) and has a more modern sound than most of the covers made during his era.

I'm so touched, I can't stop crying when I imagine the smell of turkish ground under my feets, when I remember the land who I was in world, long life to anatolia and perfume of the wind

[Fscuderia]

O nasıl bir bass gitar öyle tüylerim diken diken oldu

[pachaurbano]

I listened "Dağlar Engel Oldu" for the very first time at one of the Andy Votel's compilations and this song is so f*** electrifying! In the sequence - if I remember well - came the song "Sociedade Alternativa" by the 70s and 80s brazilian rock star Raul Seixas, and it was totally awesome. Ever since, my heart beat so fast when I listen to this song!

This is extremely delightful. Hard rocking Turkish John Denver.

Gönlüm hasret ona küçükden beri
Dağlar engel oldu yol bulamadım
Gezdim Türkistanı Azerbeycanı
Gönlüme göre bir yar bulamadım
Dağlar engel oldu yol bulamadım

Yüce dağlar başı dumanlı dağlar
Ardınızdan sürmeli gözlüm ağlar
Size ne ettim neyledim karlı dağlar
Dumanlı dağlar dumanlı dağlar

Hasretini çektim yıllardan beri
Düşündün mü sen de sevdiğim beni
Varayım dedim de senin yanına
Gurbet engel oldu yol bulamadım
Dağlar engel oldu yol bulamadım.

In my opinion, this is the best song in the Anatolian Rock Revival Project.

I Love this Never heard before ... Thank you

[alirezaomumi]

Out of this world!. Was listening to this as a 5-6 yo kid and still amazed by its beauty as a grown up man. And that ethereal and transcendental Balaban melody continues to have an enchanting power on me. Thanks for sharing.

[mertsert]

Türkistan neresi desen şimdi bilen çıkmaz. Eski müzisyenler kültürün içinden gelmiş damdan düşmemiş.

[arifozcan]

1960 doğumluyum. Nasıl teşekkür edeyim dağlar engel oldu yol bulamadım

[clintonwoods]

Its a AWESOME piece ABSOLUTELY MAGIC thanks heaps for the upload

[cemuzun]

Keşke şu jenerasyonda dünyaya gelseydim.

[nafunshgftyfffug]

Hands down one of the oldest 70s rockers with so much depth lost to audiences outside of Turkey. An absolute shame for someone of his caliber.

[jefbord]

Thank you guys for putting all those songs together, there are some real gems in there!
And thanks for the translations.

[Ivan_Macan]

Beautifull bass line, and the whole song nevertheless!
