This is what i love about RUclips, how humble me could ever listen to something like this, living in Brazil, never being able to afford travelling abroad, never even knowing this man exists, the power of the internet connection that we have today... amazing, getting to know other cultures, its one of the most entertaining things ever
Yess totally agree with you. The internet is so amazing for this very reason you just mentioned, and even though there are a bunch of problems that come with the internet, I can't help completely loving it like I do. I definetly was born in the right generation.
sure, but they are censoring the channels that question the narratives of the powerful corporate. it's a crime against humanity to censor free speech. i'm grateful now tho, to be able to type to you in brazil while listening to this epic music! eu amo musica brasileira! grande coração da minha vida~ peace

In the words of Willy Brandt, former chancellor of Germany (about the reunification of East and West Germany): "It grows together, what belongs together."
Water-wheel, why do you moan? For I've troubles, I moan. I fell in love with the lord, That is why I moan. They cut off my branches, Destroyed all my order, Yet, I'm an unwearied poet, For I've troubles, I moan. I'm a tree of a mountain, Neither sweet, nor bitter, I'm thankful to the Lord, For I've troubles, I moan. They found me on a mountain, They broke my arms and wings, They found me fit for a water-wheel, For I've troubles, I moan. Yunus comes and finds no joy here, No one reaches his desires, No one remains in this mortal world, For I've troubles, I moan.
@@x3kuutaMoan is a literal translation and while it's not technically wrong, the correct word to use would have been "wail". The poet likens the squeaks and rattles a water wheel makes to a sorrowful wail and asks for its story.
Almost four years ago I found and wrote down the English lyrics to this video. I found them today and had forgotten about them. I will post them below, in a rough translation compiled between several sources--it is a poem that was written many centuries ago by the poet Yunus Emre'nin, titled Dertli Dolap, about a waterwheel. My life has changed so much in four years since finding this video. I have moved countries, married, started a new life in a new home. But I often still feel as though I am the same as the water wheel. Turning, torn down, broken, and only moving in place. But there is beauty in this world, like this lovely song, and there is a melancholic beauty in the struggle of life. A sadness behind the words that can translate into hope. Thank you again for this beautiful song and video. Waterwheel, why do you moan? For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan. To the Lord I've given my soul, For I've troubles, I moan. Troubled water-wheel is my name, My water flows pure, As the Lord wishes thus, For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan. They found me as a mountain tree, They broke my arms and cut my wings, They thought me fit for a water-wheel, For I've troubles, I moan. From a mountain I was brought down, Neither sweet, nor bitter, am I, A devoted of God, am I, For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan. They felled my trunk and carved my branches, Every piece of mine to be remade, Yet, this commandment came from God, For I've troubles, I moan. I lift my waters high, I turn, Only to pour them low, They do not see this burden I carry, For I am sorrowful, I moan. Yunus, he who comes and finds no joy here, His expectations never to be met, As none can remain in this fleeting world, For I've troubles, I moan. Dervish Yunus, Tears shed sin, I'm in love with God, I swear, I descend for Him.
However I had just auto translated the Turkish version rendered by Yusuf Gencen in the comments, and realised your version seems to be missing a last verse? Perhaps this is another version, but this was the last verse: Derviş Yunus eydür ahı, Gözyaşı döker günahı, Hakk'a aşıkım vallahi, Onun için inilerim. Which auto-translates as Dervish Yunus Eydur ah, Tears shed sin, I'm in love with God, I swear I descend for him. I think that verse changes the meaning of the song profoundly.
Thank you for this, and for the last verse translated . Ive come to this song on and off for years and never knew what it was only being captivated by it.
For the past 4 years I have been returning to this video. This musician and his cura wake up my soul. And in the darkest days it's the only way to find the light inside. Thank you deeply for this.
Seven years ago, I visited Turkey for my first and (so far) only time. As I was walking through the old part of the city with a friend after dark, we stumbled upon a small meyhane (pub) in a dark alleyway. There were only three guys at the table, one of which played this instrument. We decided to grab a beer and listen to him. He was playing a melancholic tune and singing. It was one of the best cultural experiences I've ever had in my life. I couldn't get that melody out of my head for days and to be frank, I didn't want to.
Best way to experience the real essence of any country is to get off the beaten path. Follow your nose and ears, sometimes it will lead you to some very interesting finds. Ok, maybe more with your ears, I've been places where I regretted having a nose except where food was involved :)
Another ordinary day in Poland under quarantine: sitting on a log in a citrus orchard, listening to a Turkish sage singing an ancient folk tune. Thank you, Matrix.
@@selimkahraman5582 Check out the album "Ramizem" by Polish folk band Balkan Sevdah. They recorded several folk songs of Turks from Kosovo for this CD and they did it sooo good. Pronunciation probably sucks big time, but the vocalist has such powerful voice that I get goosebumps each time I listen to it.
Bu videonun yayınlandığı sene ne duygularla dinleyip izlemiştim. Hayatımın anlamını bulmuşum gibi hazine gibiydi benim için. Yıllar sonra yine aynı hisleri bulmanın umuduyla geri geldim.
Imagine being quarantined where this man lives. Look at all those fruit trees, and that amazing landscape. This man must be in heaven. He doesn't seem to have a wrinkle in his face, has amazing hand-eye coordination, a great voice and a good memory. Plus his camera seems to be full HD. Living peacefully with other sentient beings. I'm happy for this man and I'm glad I could spend 14 minutes there.
@Τζάκ Τζόκ Dude just shut the fuck up. Why do some people have to make everything political or controversial? Jesus what the fuck is wrong with you people?
@Τζάκ Τζόκ maybe u don't know about history. Imagine everything you know is not true... Imagine every fking book was a lie. Be like the vaultdweller. Its 2020. Lets move forward now. Just move forward from here. Because u actually don't know shit. Ok. Just move forward
As a Turkish, i see that although many people in the comments does not understand the lyrics, yet they do understand the feeling. That is how art can make people feel the same emotions even when they speak different languages, living different lives, having different cultures. This is a language without any letter but a melody.
I liked this comment almost 2 weeks since you posted it. The tune of the instrument itself speaks the feelings and lyrics of this song before he even sings. It is a beautiful song.

I agree music can transcend language, it's something humans can all relate to despite our small differences
The internet is the best thing that ever happened to music. Now there is more music to explore than you would ever have time to listen to which is great in my opinion.
4:16 The best part of this video is the cat waking up, yawning, stretching, and moving along. The view of the fruit trees makes it even more beautiful. Turkey looks amazing
(loosely) Based on the translated lyrics By the creek in summertime In the morning of my life Sat I beside a moaning wheel And watched the water rise Turns I to the water wheel and asks Why do you cry? To my surprise a moan rose up And shared with me a sigh I am troubled cried the wheel I am troubled so I moan Once a giant tree was I With arms stretched to the sky The wind kissed at my fingertips And sang the song of life A thousand years I grew and grew And sang with all my might I wished to bask forever In the sun’s eternal light Then the children of my mother came And taught me about pain They tore me from my mountainside And cut me into planks I am troubled, cried the wheel I am troubled and I moan They deemed me as a water wheel And here I am to stay And here I turn around and round Every night and day I lift the water from below And turn and pour it high But the river has forgotten me For I am not alive I am troubled cried the wheel I am troubled and I moan None attains his true desires None of us can outrun time It matters not what one acquires None stays in this mortal life There is no laughter in this story My tale is one of grief and woe The end for all is mandatory never more will this tree grow I am troubled cried the wheel And that is why I moan I am troubled cried the wheel We all must die alone
I don't have any experience with turkish culture nor language, but I did find out after a quick search that this poem has many different meanings. Here's a second one, with light differences. I'm an aggrieved waterwheel My water is flowing splashingly This is the decree of Deity For I have griefs, I groan
I'm a tree of a mountain neither sweet nor bitter I'm grateful to God For I have griefs, I groan
Waterwheel Why do you groan For I have griefs, I groan I've fallen in love with God That's why I groan
They found me on a mountain They broke my arms and wings They deemed me fit for a waterwheel For I have griefs, I groan
Carpenters carved all of me All my parts were assembled to me This commandment came from God For I have griefs, I groan
I carry my water upwards Then I pour it downwards No one knows what I carry For I have griefs, I groan
Yunus, who comes doesn't laugh in this world No one attains his desire None abides in this mortal world For I have griefs, I groan
It's not live though. Özgür is well known musician who plays in Turkey as well as in some other mediterrian countries as well specially around İzmir. He is playing the song in front of a green screen while sitting on a log. The background is pre-recorded and it must be rural İzmir or somewhere in Aegean countryside.

For a historical context, the poem by Yunus Emre was written in 13th century Anatolia during the Mongolian invasion of Seljuki land. Brutal nature of the invasion, death and destruction is reflected as a heavy dark tone in lyrics. Escape to spirituality and questions about the God and fate are also present in poems like "I asked the yellow flower" by Yunus.
I guess you are one of thoose people who interact with knowledge and wisdom to any issue. Thank you. You may try to share your "feelings" as well. I want to hear them too.
Fethiye...........chelis.....many years ago..............the tree gently moves blown by a gentle breeze ......what else is real ......magic from fingers too coarse to sew but magic is being woven.
When I am lost, I come to this. It fills me with certainty and allows me to to ground myself so that I may focus on whats important and do what is best to make it through hardship.
It's a special hidden quest, but if you realised you have activated it you should be fine. Just keep your eyes and ears open, take head of both the woes and the fruits of opportunity this land affords as it abounds with both, some will likely lead to great adventure but also take care not to become engulfed by them as this could lead to great peril. Make sure to spend your points wisely and some time you may realise when you have progressed in this quest again.
This thread is everything! I found this on a rainy day in December, it was a call to continue my intergalactic odyssey with the Light Beings I’ve been playing with in the 5D. See you all there ✨💛
4 y ago discovered this and I keep coming back to this for comfort, for peace, for when I'm losing touch with myself, for joy and for many more things. God bless the internet!
Everything about this grabs attention; this man, his sweater, the orchard, the mountains, the instrument, the song itself, his awesome voice, the cat - all of it.
Absolutely mesmerizing! The artist's performance is pure magic - each note resonates with such emotion and depth. This song truly touched my soul. And the raw, authentic setting of the video, with hens roaming around in the village, adds an extra layer of charm and genuineness to the whole experience. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us!

We live in a system that is designed against us , they took our water my brothers, and they sold it to our people our families, they took land that was god given to all mankind, And sold it to us and put a price on it. They sell us food that is poison and they tell us it's healthy . they have poisoned our people , people of the earth and one day all mankind will answer for what they have done. Idk if you believe in God but I wouldn't wanna be these people on judgment day
English lyrcis: Water wheel, why do you moan? For I have troubles, I moan. I fell in love with the Lord, That is why I moan. I am a tree of the mountain. I am neither sweet nor bitter. I am thankful to the Lord For I've troubles, I moan. On the mountain they felled my trunk. They destroyed all my order. Yet, I am an unwearied poet For I have troubles, I moan. They found me on a mountain. They broke my arms and my wings. They found me fit to be a water wheel. That is why I moan. Yunus comes here and finds no joy (Yunus Emre was a famous Turkish poet, and the writer of this) One does not attain his goal. No one stays in this mortal world. For I've troubles, I moan
And when you finish the quest, it gives you so much XP that you level up five times. Not to mention the insane amount of gold coins - which is odd considering his line of work as a wandering bard - he must have played at royal courts.

I know most pepole will not, and will never understand this, but singing out in the field or in a barn in the hay with chickens on your lap and around you, is one of the most grounding and magical experiences you can ever have in your life.
@@MrBig913 I am a farmer living in a village in Turkey. Let me explain the situation this way, during the harvest season pigs enter the fields and damage the crops, and that's why people stand guard with shotguns to protect their fields from pigs. 👍
As a Turk I am glad to see these precious comments from people all around the world and at the same time I am a little ashamed that I wasn't aware there were such treasures in my own culture. These are what my ancestors lived, felt and created for thousand of years and these are so valuable things to have. I think we all should have awereness and knowledge to preserve and raise our own cultures. I wish we and our children will always be able to enjoy this kind of great pieces from all cultures of the world.
I listened it for the first time 1 year ago. Now, it is like a therapy. I have listened to it every week. Lately started believing this is the most beautiful and really felt piece of composition.

They found me on a mountain, They broke my arms and wings, They found me fit for a water-wheel, For I've troubles, I moan.

TROUBLED WATER-WHEEL Water-wheel, why do you moan? For I've troubles, I moan. I fell in love with the lord, That is why I moan. My name is troubled water-wheel, My water flows pure, Thus, as the Lord wishes, For I've troubles, I moan. They found me on a mountain, They broke my arms and wings, They found me fit for a water-wheel, For I've troubles, I moan. I'm a tree of a mountain, Neither sweet, nor bitter, I'm thankful to the Lord, For I've troubles, I moan.

@@everettreish6970 No, I don't think so. Just a good poem, a tranquil setting, a well-done delivery. As far as the Ottoman Empire goes, it had its good and bad periods, from what I read.
What gives me comfort is, to know that the people here in the comment section appreciate this art piece. I know that a lot of people in my daily life wold not care for this experience we just witnessed. I think if you would connect people that find the same weird videos in their recommendations, you would find people that will get along pretty well and may not be to different from one another.
Nice to know people like you exist! RUclips comment sections would mostly indicate that the world is purely toxic, so comments like this are much needed
I didn’t plan on staying listening a random bearded man in some rural area for 14 minutes and coming back for the 3rd time to listen to this again. Thank you RUclips for a good recommendation
- my name is wheel within grief - - wheel, why thou groan? - in grief i am, therefore i groan... i'm in love with thee (one) within (thee) moment i be - groan… they have cut my rib on a mountain, have disbanded my various orders, nonetheless, an unwearying poet i am therefore in grief - groan… i've been a tree of a mountain, neither sweet, nor bitter was i my prayers are always with thee, therefore in grief i be - groan… they have found me on a mountain, have broken my arms, my wings, have fitted me for / to the mill - wheel therefore in grief i be - groan… thou Yunus, one can't smile for which understands one can't rise to the divine stairs in this mortal(ity), no one remains, therefore in grief i be - (...) groan… (Yunus: refers 'Yunus Emre' is the writer of this carol lived by 1240 - 1321) (Turkish is very complicated and ancient language and has amazing oppurtunities to express meanings with very short words. That's why i thought, it must translated much deeper. It will always be impossible to translate those meanings but i gave it a shot.)
Joleen Ray It's also an emotion .. Tears in my eyes I laughed too , at the scene with the chicken passing behind , the shots, and the shouts.. but that strong presence ,the melody , his composure... are magic to me!
This is likely the easiest translation. Yunus Emre uses metaphors to tell us about life's brevity. He is pretending to be a waterwheel about How did we come into existence? What is our purpose here? What is the final destination of our soul's journey? Moreover, Ozgur baba added a melody. AGGRIEVED WATERWHEEL I'm an aggrieved waterwheel My water is flowing splashingly This is the decree of Deity For I have griefs, I groan I'm a tree of a mountain neither sweet nor bitter I'm grateful to God For I have griefs, I groan Waterwheel Why do you groan For I have griefs, I groan I've fallen in love with God That's why I groan They found me on a mountain They broke my arms and wings They deemed me fit for a waterwheel For I have griefs, I groan Carpenters carved all of me All my parts were assembled to me This commandment came from God For I have griefs, I groan I carry my water upwards Then I pour it downwards No one knows what I carry For I have griefs, I groan Yunus, who comes doesn't joy in this world No one attains his desire None abides in this ending world For I have griefs, I groan
that's fascintating, sounds a bit like the esoteric nature gnostics believed religious texts were written in, so much gets lost in time and translation.
Thank you @apimania Canada I used your translation for a very liberal reworking of my own. Please forgive the liberty. Aggrieved Waterwheel I'm a waterwheel, I was wronged My water flows with fury Thus decreed the Deity: I have griefs, therefore I groan I'm a mountain tree, neither sweet nor bitter Although, to God, for my griefs I'm grateful, Still, it is as it is And still I groan Why? were you wondering? would a Waterwheel groan? It is still just as I told you before I have griefs, therefore I groan I fell in love with God That's why I groan They found me on the side of a mountain They broke my arms and they shattered my wings Yet to be a waterwheel would they deem me fit? Yes! And I’ll say it again I have griefs, therefore I groan Carpenters carved all of me Every piece before my last assembly Was it God’s will? Yes! Yes it was. And Thus decreed the deity: I have griefs, therefore I groan I bear my water up, then I pour it down No one knows the weights I bear No one knows and no one cares God only knows and thus God wills I have griefs, therefore I groan I’ll tell you this just one last time, John Whoever comes here doesn't find only joy No one attains his ultimate desire No one abides forever on this finite sphere I have griefs, therefore I groan
Fun fact for foreigners to Turkish language: Özgür means "free" in Turkish. A name mostly given to male children. Seeing how he makes great music in nature, it really means something. Özgür Baba is free for real.

It's actually surprising for me to see that people get positive feelings about life when they listen to this masterpiece. It gives me a sad feeling about everything, deep deep inside. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm going through a bad period of my life. But it helps being that way. And I kind of like it I guess. If we're going to disappear some day, I guess making this music is one of the best things a human being can do. Far from the fakeness of daily life and far from unimportant daily problems. This has got to be it...Thanks for showing up and being a part of my life Özgür Baba. Bir nebze olsun rahatlattın beni :)
When I was young my father was in the US Air Force and was stationed in Ankara. We lived off base, and for a few years my brother and I had so much fun playing all over town with the Turkish kids! They knew enough English and we knew just enough Turkish to have a blast. Add to that dancing bears on the streets, firecrackers any time, and this super delicious bread (ek mek?) and shish ka bob? Sorry on spelling. Fond memories, and watching this video made me realize how lucky we were. Traveling and meeting people opens the door to so much... Videos like this is what makes RUclips great.
Dancing bears, man. It was 80’s, if I am remembering correctly. They were on streets and highways since you can’t get on a bus with them. :) Thank you for reminding. What a world it has become, vow.
@@jazzabana Yes! 84-87. There was a cold war going on and a stressful political climate(never ends i think) but as a child I was blind to it. I remember Turkey as one of the most beautiful and unique places I’ve ever seen. I vividly remember field trips to the palaces and even shopping in the bazaars with my mom. The spices! The smells!
I wish I could be sure that this man ever knew that, while he played, MILLIONS of people from all over the world were virtually sitted by his feet listening quietly
I just shared this link to my LinkedIn Profile. Suddenly it occurred to me to pick up my cedar flute & play along. The key interval was a little funky at first but killer riffs were only seconds away. Love to jam with this man, live, in concert!
Written by yunus emre which is turkish dervish-poet..he look for divine love whole his life and he gave up his job(he was judge in that time) and everything for that matter.....
The sound quality of this recording is just fantastic. Great job engineer, both on placement and microphone choice. You can hear it is outside, with slight natural reverb, while at the same time not interfered with by the elements, outside of the natural sounds of animals and other occasional booming (gunfire?) You can even hear the chickens' wings fluttering about! What a great sound all around.
David Neely it is so hard to focus on mixing while you are bombarded with tonnes of diablo and wow memories...I just realized now the high end is just a little harsh for such a saz instrument. He needs to find diablos epic ring.
I've listened to this song before. When I saw the comments of foreigners, I wanted to write. As a Turk who is familiar and fond of Turkish folk music, I can say it is one of the most original interpretations I have ever heard. Özgür Baba gave Derviş Yunus his due. It feels like I'm listening to Dervish Yunus every time.
@@kdgameing6646 this instrument is called ‘cura’ which is smaller version of another traditional Turkish instrument ‘bağlama’ . I can’t really translate it because it is hard to do and doesn’t rhyme in English but you can google it. Dertli Dolap by famous poet Yunus Emre.
A year ago as one of my family members had died I struggled to cope. That night I tossed and turned in bed. I opened up you tube and this man who's words I couldn't understand melted my heart and I began to sob. I visit the song from time to time as my momento mori.

Water-wheel, why do you moan?
For I've troubles, I moan.
I fell in love with the lord,
That is why I moan.
They cut off my branches,
Destroyed all my order,
Yet, I'm an unwearied poet,
For I've troubles, I moan.
I'm a tree of a mountain,
Neither sweet, nor bitter,
I'm thankful to the Lord,
For I've troubles, I moan.
They found me on a mountain,
They broke my arms and wings,
They found me fit for a water-wheel,
For I've troubles, I moan.
Yunus comes and finds no joy here,
No one reaches his desires,
No one remains in this mortal world,
For I've troubles, I moan.
Thank you
Most appreciated
With all due respect and thank you for your translation but in the context of this piece it's more like "I weep" instead of " I moan", I think.
Is this a translation of this man's lyrics?
@@x3kuutaMoan is a literal translation and while it's not technically wrong, the correct word to use would have been "wail".
The poet likens the squeaks and rattles a water wheel makes to a sorrowful wail and asks for its story.
Ah...the simple life. Breath in the fresh air. This man is rich
Truth.
Absolutely
And without the internet, only the cat and the hills would have heard this beautiful music...

well said.... this video is simply mesmerizing
That's so true!
Almost four years ago I found and wrote down the English lyrics to this video. I found them today and had forgotten about them. I will post them below, in a rough translation compiled between several sources--it is a poem that was written many centuries ago by the poet Yunus Emre'nin, titled Dertli Dolap, about a waterwheel. My life has changed so much in four years since finding this video. I have moved countries, married, started a new life in a new home. But I often still feel as though I am the same as the water wheel. Turning, torn down, broken, and only moving in place. But there is beauty in this world, like this lovely song, and there is a melancholic beauty in the struggle of life. A sadness behind the words that can translate into hope. Thank you again for this beautiful song and video.
Waterwheel, why do you moan?
For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan.
To the Lord I've given my soul,
For I've troubles, I moan.
Troubled water-wheel is my name,
My water flows pure,
As the Lord wishes thus,
For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan.
They found me as a mountain tree,
They broke my arms and cut my wings,
They thought me fit for a water-wheel,
For I've troubles, I moan.
From a mountain I was brought down,
Neither sweet, nor bitter, am I,
A devoted of God, am I,
For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan.
They felled my trunk and carved my branches,
Every piece of mine to be remade,
Yet, this commandment came from God,
For I've troubles, I moan.
I lift my waters high, I turn,
Only to pour them low,
They do not see this burden I carry,
For I am sorrowful, I moan.
Yunus, he who comes and finds no joy here,
His expectations never to be met,
As none can remain in this fleeting world,
For I've troubles, I moan.
Dervish Yunus,
Tears shed sin,
I'm in love with God, I swear,
I descend for Him.
Thank you! Was hoping I could find a translation that does it justice
However I had just auto translated the Turkish version rendered by Yusuf Gencen in the comments, and realised your version seems to be missing a last verse? Perhaps this is another version, but this was the last verse:
Derviş Yunus eydür ahı,
Gözyaşı döker günahı,
Hakk'a aşıkım vallahi,
Onun için inilerim.
Which auto-translates as
Dervish Yunus Eydur ah,
Tears shed sin,
I'm in love with God, I swear
I descend for him.
I think that verse changes the meaning of the song profoundly.
@@2pintsofcremedementh It does! Thank you for this, I had not found this verse before. That is beautiful.
thanks
Thank you for this, and for the last verse translated . Ive come to this song on and off for years and never knew what it was only being captivated by it.
For the past 4 years I have been returning to this video. This musician and his cura wake up my soul. And in the darkest days it's the only way to find the light inside. Thank you deeply for this.
Ok it's not that deep, it's a man and his guitar LMAO just kidding. I don't disregard your profound thoughts😊
@@ShaneFlett definitely that deep , this song is a profound spiritual journey .
the song is called dertli dolap which can be translated to troubled/burdened closets/wardrobe
Hello again. I have returned as well. May your travels be safe and light.
Seven years ago, I visited Turkey for my first and (so far) only time. As I was walking through the old part of the city with a friend after dark, we stumbled upon a small meyhane (pub) in a dark alleyway. There were only three guys at the table, one of which played this instrument. We decided to grab a beer and listen to him. He was playing a melancholic tune and singing. It was one of the best cultural experiences I've ever had in my life. I couldn't get that melody out of my head for days and to be frank, I didn't want to.
could you remember any words of that song? i will try to find out for you.
Best way to experience the real essence of any country is to get off the beaten path. Follow your nose and ears, sometimes it will lead you to some very interesting finds.
Ok, maybe more with your ears, I've been places where I regretted having a nose except where food was involved :)
Turkish music is wonderful.
he shared his culture and national history with you through that music whether he knew it or not
@@calebray4168 That's what is so wonderful about folk music,

As a Turkish, i see that although many people in the comments does not understand the lyrics, yet they do understand the feeling. That is how art can make people feel the same emotions even when they speak different languages, living different lives, having different cultures. This is a language without any letter but a melody.
Music is the language of emotion.
We are all but one.
I liked this comment almost 2 weeks since you posted it. The tune of the instrument itself speaks the feelings and lyrics of this song before he even sings. It is a beautiful song.
I agree music can transcend language, it's something humans can all relate to despite our small differences
Beautifully said, it's deeply moving.

The internet is the best thing that ever happened to music. Now there is more music to explore than you would ever have time to listen to which is great in my opinion.

(loosely) Based on the translated lyrics
By the creek in summertime
In the morning of my life
Sat I beside a moaning wheel
And watched the water rise
Turns I to the water wheel and asks
Why do you cry?
To my surprise a moan rose up
And shared with me a sigh
I am troubled cried the wheel
I am troubled so I moan
Once a giant tree was I
With arms stretched to the sky
The wind kissed at my fingertips
And sang the song of life
A thousand years I grew and grew
And sang with all my might
I wished to bask forever
In the sun’s eternal light
Then the children of my mother came
And taught me about pain
They tore me from my mountainside
And cut me into planks
I am troubled, cried the wheel
I am troubled and I moan
They deemed me as a water wheel
And here I am to stay
And here I turn around and round
Every night and day
I lift the water from below
And turn and pour it high
But the river has forgotten me
For I am not alive
I am troubled cried the wheel
I am troubled and I moan
None attains his true desires
None of us can outrun time
It matters not what one acquires
None stays in this mortal life
There is no laughter in this story
My tale is one of grief and woe
The end for all is mandatory
never more will this tree grow
I am troubled cried the wheel
And that is why I moan
I am troubled cried the wheel
We all must die alone
Damn....
Thank you for sharing
Just pure blissfull beauty and painfull sadness at the same time!

I don't have any experience with turkish culture nor language, but I did find out after a quick search that this poem has many different meanings. Here's a second one, with light differences.
I'm an aggrieved waterwheel
My water is flowing splashingly
This is the decree of Deity
For I have griefs, I groan
I'm a tree of a mountain
neither sweet nor bitter
I'm grateful to God
For I have griefs, I groan
Waterwheel Why do you groan
For I have griefs, I groan
I've fallen in love with God
That's why I groan
They found me on a mountain
They broke my arms and wings
They deemed me fit for a waterwheel
For I have griefs, I groan
Carpenters carved all of me
All my parts were assembled to me
This commandment came from God
For I have griefs, I groan
I carry my water upwards
Then I pour it downwards
No one knows what I carry
For I have griefs, I groan
Yunus, who comes doesn't laugh in this world
No one attains his desire
None abides in this mortal world
For I have griefs, I groan

For a historical context, the poem by Yunus Emre was written in 13th century Anatolia during the Mongolian invasion of Seljuki land. Brutal nature of the invasion, death and destruction is reflected as a heavy dark tone in lyrics. Escape to spirituality and questions about the God and fate are also present in poems like "I asked the yellow flower" by Yunus.

It's a special hidden quest, but if you realised you have activated it you should be fine.
Just keep your eyes and ears open, take head of both the woes and the fruits of opportunity this land affords as it abounds with both, some will likely lead to great adventure but also take care not to become engulfed by them as this could lead to great peril. Make sure to spend your points wisely and some time you may realise when you have progressed in this quest again.

Destroyed all my order,

For I've troubles, I moan.
I take my water from below,
I turn and pour it high,

TROUBLED WATER-WHEEL
Water-wheel, why do you moan?
For I've troubles, I moan.
I fell in love with the lord,
That is why I moan.
My name is troubled water-wheel,
My water flows pure,
Thus, as the Lord wishes,
For I've troubles, I moan.
They found me on a mountain,
They broke my arms and wings,
They found me fit for a water-wheel,
For I've troubles, I moan.
I'm a tree of a mountain,
Neither sweet, nor bitter,
I'm thankful to the Lord,
For I've troubles, I moan.
They cut off my branches,
Destroyed all my order,
Yet, I'm an unwearied poet,
For I've troubles, I moan.
I take my water from below,
I turn and pour it high,
See how I suffer,
For I've troubles, I moan.
Yunus comes and finds no joy here,
The tree will never grow,
No one remains in this mortal world,
For I've troubles, I moan.
Thank you so very much for the translation.
thank you
Thank you a thousand times 🙏
Thank you so very much. So much.

Beautiful comment, thank you. Love +Light.
Centuries old lyrics, but perfect for this era: A tree complains about being cut down and formed into a turning wheel for a watermill.
This tree didn't want to be a watermill either.
@@AryDontSurf You've got it. And now I do also, thanks.
@@everettreish6970 No, I don't think so. Just a good poem, a tranquil setting, a well-done delivery. As far as the Ottoman Empire goes, it had its good and bad periods, from what I read.
Hello osman can you translate what you hear please ?
Can you feel the tree's pain?
This is heaven. I want this. Nature and a simple but rich life. With true music. I love that cat.

What gives me comfort is, to know that the people here in the comment section appreciate this art piece. I know that a lot of people in my daily life wold not care for this experience we just witnessed. I think if you would connect people that find the same weird videos in their recommendations, you would find people that will get along pretty well and may not be to different from one another.
Definitely!
Nice to know people like you exist! RUclips comment sections would mostly indicate that the world is purely toxic, so comments like this are much needed

I didn’t plan on staying listening a random bearded man in some rural area for 14 minutes and coming back for the 3rd time to listen to this again. Thank you RUclips for a good recommendation
I smile for all those who saw this, and I cry for all those who didn't see it.
- my name is wheel within grief -

(Turkish is very complicated and ancient language and has amazing oppurtunities to express meanings with very short words. That's why i thought, it must translated much deeper. It will always be impossible to translate those meanings but i gave it a shot.)

This is likely the easiest translation. Yunus Emre uses metaphors to tell us about life's brevity. He is pretending to be a waterwheel about How did we come into existence? What is our purpose here? What is the final destination of our soul's journey? Moreover, Ozgur baba added a melody.
AGGRIEVED WATERWHEEL
I'm an aggrieved waterwheel
My water is flowing splashingly
This is the decree of Deity
For I have griefs, I groan
I'm a tree of a mountain
neither sweet nor bitter
I'm grateful to God
For I have griefs, I groan
Waterwheel Why do you groan
For I have griefs, I groan
I've fallen in love with God
That's why I groan
They found me on a mountain
They broke my arms and wings
They deemed me fit for a waterwheel
For I have griefs, I groan
Carpenters carved all of me
All my parts were assembled to me
This commandment came from God
For I have griefs, I groan
I carry my water upwards
Then I pour it downwards
No one knows what I carry
For I have griefs, I groan
Yunus, who comes doesn't joy in this world
No one attains his desire
None abides in this ending world
For I have griefs, I groan
that's fascintating, sounds a bit like the esoteric nature gnostics believed religious texts were written in, so much gets lost in time and translation.
beautiful, even in translation
Beautiful! Thank you so much for the translation
Blessings
Thank you @apimania Canada I used your translation for a very liberal reworking of my own. Please forgive the liberty.
Aggrieved Waterwheel
I'm a waterwheel, I was wronged
My water flows with fury
Thus decreed the Deity:
I have griefs, therefore I groan
I'm a mountain tree, neither sweet nor bitter
Although, to God, for my griefs I'm grateful,
Still, it is as it is
And still I groan
Why? were you wondering? would a Waterwheel groan?
It is still just as I told you before
I have griefs, therefore I groan
I fell in love with God
That's why I groan
They found me on the side of a mountain
They broke my arms and they shattered my wings
Yet to be a waterwheel would they deem me fit?
Yes!
And I’ll say it again
I have griefs, therefore I groan
Carpenters carved all of me
Every piece before my last assembly
Was it God’s will?
Yes! Yes it was. And
Thus decreed the deity:
I have griefs, therefore I groan
I bear my water up, then I pour it down
No one knows the weights I bear
No one knows and no one cares
God only knows and thus God wills
I have griefs, therefore I groan
I’ll tell you this just one last time, John
Whoever comes here doesn't find only joy
No one attains his ultimate desire
No one abides forever on this finite sphere
I have griefs, therefore I groan
This gentleman lives on the same planet that I do. The Earth is such a beautiful and diverse place.

Güzel Video olmus Üstad
It's actually surprising for me to see that people get positive feelings about life when they listen to this masterpiece. It gives me a sad feeling about everything, deep deep inside. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm going through a bad period of my life. But it helps being that way. And I kind of like it I guess. If we're going to disappear some day, I guess making this music is one of the best things a human being can do. Far from the fakeness of daily life and far from unimportant daily problems. This has got to be it...Thanks for showing up and being a part of my life Özgür Baba. Bir nebze olsun rahatlattın beni :)
Same.
It can make people happy just to feel connected and understanding of the world. Even if what is revealed in the connection is sad.
You might understand the words.
The beauty of life comes with a bitter sweet taste of sadness one could say
❤
When I was young my father was in the US Air Force and was stationed in Ankara. We lived off base, and for a few years my brother and I had so much fun playing all over town with the Turkish kids! They knew enough English and we knew just enough Turkish to have a blast. Add to that dancing bears on the streets, firecrackers any time, and this super delicious bread (ek mek?) and shish ka bob? Sorry on spelling. Fond memories, and watching this video made me realize how lucky we were. Traveling and meeting people opens the door to so much... Videos like this is what makes RUclips great.
Dancing bears, man. It was 80’s, if I am remembering correctly. They were on streets and highways since you can’t get on a bus with them. :) Thank you for reminding. What a world it has become, vow.
When we act from the heart, we all are one
Me too - except I was one of the Turkish kids - and my city was Izmir!
@@jazzabana Yes! 84-87. There was a cold war going on and a stressful political climate(never ends i think) but as a child I was blind to it. I remember Turkey as one of the most beautiful and unique places I’ve ever seen. I vividly remember field trips to the palaces and even shopping in the bazaars with my mom. The spices! The smells!

I wish I could be sure that this man ever knew that, while he played, MILLIONS of people from all over the world were virtually sitted by his feet listening quietly
He does. This video blew up and now he tours playing his music in full concert halls.
He is :)
I just shared this link to my LinkedIn Profile. Suddenly it occurred to me to pick up my cedar flute & play along. The key interval was a little funky at first but killer riffs were only seconds away. Love to jam with this man, live, in concert!
I dont even know what he's singing or playing about, but MAN does he really have me hypnotized. I could listen to this for hours.
Sat. The word is sat. They were virtually sat at his feet.
I've been a guitarist for over 35yrs,this song moved me....not sure what he's singing,but it's beautiful
Old poem abaut love to god but he sings like he miss it
Written by yunus emre which is turkish dervish-poet..he look for divine love whole his life and he gave up his job(he was judge in that time) and everything for that matter.....

This is me, I am not really that old I just dyed my hair. You like the sound but I am more mysterious than you can imaginable
The sound quality of this recording is just fantastic. Great job engineer, both on placement and microphone choice. You can hear it is outside, with slight natural reverb, while at the same time not interfered with by the elements, outside of the natural sounds of animals and other occasional booming (gunfire?) You can even hear the chickens' wings fluttering about!
What a great sound all around.
David Neely it is so hard to focus on mixing while you are bombarded with tonnes of diablo and wow memories...I just realized now the high end is just a little harsh for such a saz instrument. He needs to find diablos epic ring.
Absolutely, they deserve a lot of praise!!!!
Yep, that gunfire. Finally someone who actually listened for than a minute.
@@HorstEwald I thought that might be it. Hunters perhaps?
I'm probably in the minority here, but I think the gunfire adds something profound to this performance.
Spoiler alert: The cat gets up and moves at 04:20, but the chickens don't arrive till 06:20
Thank you
But what goes on at 10.20 has the chickens totally rattled!
@@RachaelClag gunshot
I think it's a donkey making lots of noise at about 10:30 .

Back again after two years...yep I still love it. From the USA with love...
I've listened to this song before. When I saw the comments of foreigners, I wanted to write.
As a Turk who is familiar and fond of Turkish folk music, I can say it is one of the most original interpretations I have ever heard.
Özgür Baba gave Derviş Yunus his due. It feels like I'm listening to Dervish Yunus every time.
What this instrument called?.... Can anybody please try to translate it in English? I know this is gonna be difficult still.
@@kdgameing6646 this instrument is called ‘cura’ which is smaller version of another traditional Turkish instrument ‘bağlama’ . I can’t really translate it because it is hard to do and doesn’t rhyme in English but you can google it. Dertli Dolap by famous poet Yunus Emre.
@@cengizhansusuz9506 thanks . ❤
The ambiance of the gunshots, howls and chickens just adds a whole new dimension to this already incredible song. What an experience.
i was beginning to wonder if anyone else had heard the gunshots. ominous sounds with this music in the fore...
Amazing hey, some real live shit going on here. No script, no edits, just raw life.
Peace.
@@BlameBarky What time are the gunshots?
@@BlameBarky Its nothing unusual in turkey. In my village everyone has a gun.
People go to the hills and mountains to hunt boar and pheasants in those parts on the weekends. He probably lives close to a hunting ground.
A year ago as one of my family members had died I struggled to cope. That night I tossed and turned in bed. I opened up you tube and this man who's words I couldn't understand melted my heart and I began to sob. I visit the song from time to time as my momento mori.
God bless the dead brother. If you want to understand what he's saying, you can check the best comment section and there it is, English lyrics.

The fact that this has over 7 million views gives me hope for the world. Thank you so much for posting. Sending love from Baltimore in the USA.
Lyrics are from a poem of old Anatolian sufi dhervish from 13th century called Yunus Emre, which I happen to carry his name.
Here is my rough translation:
Water wheel, why are you moaning?
I am troubled, therefore I moan x2
I fell in love with the Lord
Thats why I moan x2
My lumber was cut in the mountain
And my peace is therefore destroyed x2
I am an unwearied poet
I am troubled, therefore I moan x2
I am a tree of a mountain
Neither sweet nor bitter x2
I am prayerful to the Lord
Therefore I moan x2
They found me in a mountain
Tore me into pieces x2
They deemed me as water wheel
Thats why I moan x2
Yunus, none laughs in this (story)
None attains his desire x2
None stays in this mortal (life)
I am troubled, thats why I moan x3
Series made on yunus emre is so mesmerizing....luckily I found English subtitled
Can you type the lyrics in the original language he uses, I find it beautiful, thanks.
thank you!
Sounds sad, and the lyrics confirm this. I think of standing in old Ottoman empire, listening to this. Oh, and thanks ❤️
