Kuro gede tu ne mîr e, ne hekîm e
Li bala dilê min evdala xwedê de
Tavî kî ji tavî ya biharê
Meha gulan û nîsan û adar e
Li ser sing û berê min evdala xwedê de
Ne dixûricî ne dibarî
Ehmedo lo lo ...
Kuro keder navê min besna ye
Li tilî û pêçî minê ar morî wek şemaye
De sing û berê min evdala xwedê
Ji te re mîna kûşk û seray werçî ma ye
De berê kerîyê pezê xwe ser de gêr ke
Min ê bi hemdê xwe ji te re destûr da ye
Ehmedo lo lo
Ehmedo ronî heyran bira dê û bavê min
Xêrê bikin
De bira dê u bavê min xêrê bikin waêê qet nebînin
Dewezê çewa neda me ehmedê kur û barî
Ma di gûnd de min dil tê da
Wezê da me gedê kurapê min ê
Heramî mêra xudanê heft jina heftê salî
Wezê bala xwe dididimê heba ferê dirana tune di devda
Ehmedo lo.

The song "Ehmedo" by Orient Expressions is a mournful lament about a man named Ehmedo who is a wanderer, without a master or a doctor. The singer speaks to Ehmedo, acknowledging his plight and expressing empathy for his situation. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is alone and wandering, but also resilient and determined to survive.
The singer also refers to "min evdala xwedê," which can be translated as "love of God" or "my love for God." This phrase suggests that the singer finds solace and comfort in their faith, even as they empathize with Ehmedo's struggles. The chorus of the song is a simple repetition of Ehmedo's name, perhaps emphasizing his status as a symbol of a larger group of people who are marginalized and forgotten.
Overall, the song is a powerful tribute to the strength and resilience of those who are forced to live on the fringes of society. The use of imagery and metaphor in the lyrics creates a vivid and emotive picture of Ehmedo's world, drawing the listener in and inviting them to share in the singer's empathy and compassion.

I asked myself -- this is a CD I picked up in Istanbul years ago -- if I studied some Turkish, why can't I understand a single word she's saying? The answer to that was a whole education in itself.
