Tarkan & Orhan Gencebay - UYAN

Turkish news stattion NTV has aired Tarkan's music video to his 'earth-song' track 'Uyan' (Wake Up), with the arist's official site posting the video up on its front page also.

Directed by 'Pare Pare' director Altan Donmez, the music video - which includes featuring artist Orhan Gencebay and is sponsored by Ben&Jerry's Ice Cream - is aiming to reach a wider audience in a campaign to raise awereness about Turkey's fast disappearing nature and wildlife.

The start of October had seen the relase of the first issue of Turkish nature conservation society the Doga Dernegi's magazine Doga, with Tarkan's single 'Uyan' as a free gift with the publication's premiere.

The lyrics are a re-working of an intiial draft of a song Tarkan had published in an arcicle for Atlas magazine, and in essence resembles Tarkan's scoio-politial song 'Hop Hop' in wich he urges everyone to unite to overcome the obstacles thet face them.

Setting the example of doing more for the environment in Turkey, in 2007 the artist singed up with Turkish nature conservation society the Doga Dernegi to raise awareness in his home nation about nature conservation.

Song Lyrics and my Translate to English:
İki gözü iki çeşme(two eyes are like a two fount)[crying so much]
Hepimize sesleniyor(it calls all of us)
Deva bul bu derde(find a core to this pain)
Gel beni kurtar diyor;(it says "come and save me")
Kanadı kırık kuş gibi(like a broken-wing)
Garibin içi kan ağlıyor(poor's heart is bleeding)
Beni ateşe atmadan önce(before you threw me to the fire)
Vicdanına bir sor diyor(it says "ask your heart")

Uyan uyan uyan uyan(wake up*4)
Koy elini kalbine geç olmadan(put your hand to your pocket before it is getting late)*to think seriously]
Bu yolun sonu yokuştur deme(dont say "this way's end is hill)[dont afraid to try,live etc]
Dağları aşarız eğer inanırsan[we can get mountains over,if you believe)[we can deal with every difficulties]

Uyan uyan dostum uyan(wake up,my friend,wake up)
Koy elini kalbine geç olmadan(put your hand to your heart before it is getting late)
Bir olur geliriz üstesinden( we can get it together)
Her şey mümkün eğer inanırsan(everything is possible if you believe)


Böyle gelmiş böyle gider("it comes like this,and continues likee this")
Deyip de sakın aldanma(dont believe saying that^)
Kim bilir, belki de değer(who knows,maybe it worths)
Sen en iyisi doğrundan cayma(as the best,you dont give truth up)
Aç gözünü gör de bak(open your eyes,look and see)
A gülüm kendini kandırma(my rose,dont deceive yourself)
Senin de yüreğin yanacak(your heart will burn too)
Hele bir ortak ol da yangınıma(you first become partner to my fire)

Uyan uyan uyan uyan(wake up*4)
Koy elini kalbine geç olmadan(put your hand to your heart before it is getting late)*to think seriously]
Bu yolun sonu yokuştur deme(dont say "this way's end is hill)[dont afraid to try,live etc]
Dağları aşarız eğer inanırsan[we can get mountains over,if you believe)[we can deal with every difficulties]

Uyan uyan dostum uyan(wake up,my friend,wake up)
Koy elini kalbine geç olmadan(put your hand to your heart before it is getting late)
Bir olur geliriz üstesinden( we can get it together)
Her şey mümkün eğer inanırsan(everything is possible if you believe)


Yerimiz yurdumuz toprağımız(our place,our country,our land..)
Yok oluyor ebediyen(..are getting dissapear for ever)
Evimiz yuvamız biricik ocağımız(our home,or unique home)
Gidiyor elden(is going from hand)

Uyan uyan dostum uyan(wake up,my friend,wake up)
Koy elini kalbine geç olmadan(put your hand to your heart before it is getting late)
