Zülfü Livaneli - Odam Kireç Tutmuyor

This is a very famous anonymous piece, probably compiled from the Eskisehir region. The modern arrangement is still an anthem amongst the left wing Turkish youth, and is heartbreaking. In contrast, the original version is quite lively. The lyrics and their english translation are as follows: Odam Kirec Tutmuyor Odam kirectir benim Yuzum gulectir benim Soyun da gir koynuma Terim ilactir benim Odam kirec tutmuyor Kumunu katmayınca Sevda bastan gitmiyor
