Hemşin Yaylalarına !.. Climbing up to heights from Çinçiva, closing fork road for Zilkale, Karadeniz tunes followed up to forest paths, rivers and valleys. This traditional intro is sung to begin Horon and it’s known as “karşılama” (greeting) as the phrase flows and answer follows. — (Tr) Hemşin yaylalarina Yattım uyuyemedum oy yattım uyuyemedum Aradum sevduğumi Daha dayanemedum oy daha dayanemedum Hemşin yaylalarina Gidilur mi karadan oy gidilur mi karadan?.. Artık kavuştur bizi Yeri goği yaradan oy yeri goği yaradan Salla da uyut beni (oy oy oy oy oy) Yüreğum bulaniyi Çinçiva’dan bir güzel Peşime dolaniyi (continues gibberish ! ) — (Eng) On the plateau of Hemsin I laid down, couldn’t sleep I’ve looked for my lover I could bear more not To the plateau of Hemsin Does the road reach overland? May he/she unite us One who created the earth and sky Sway me to sleep My heart is cloudy A beauty from Cinciva Wanders around me
