Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mahlede öten yok bu ne figandır
Şu yemen elleri ne de yamandır
Ano yemendir gülü çemendir
Giden gelmiyor acep nedendir
Burası Muştur yolu yokuştur
Giden gelmiyor acep nedendir
Bakın çantasında acep nesi var
Bir çift kunduraysı bir de fesi var
Ano yemendir gülü çemendir
Giden gelmiyor acep ne iştir
Burası Muştur yolu yokuştur
Giden gelmiyor acep nedendir
Havada bulut yok bu ne dumandır
Mahlede öten yok bu ne figandır
Şu yemen elleri ne de yamandır
Ano yemendir gülü çemendir
Giden gelmiyor acep nedendir
Burası Muştur yolu yokuştur
Giden gelmiyor acep nedendir
Ano yemendir gülü çemendir
Giden gelmiyor acep nedendir
The lyrics to Stellamara's song 'Yemen Türküsü' speaks of the beauty and mystery of Yemen, a country in the Arabian Peninsula. The first verse describes the lack of clouds in the sky, which leads to a haze, and the absence of birds singing in the area. The singer wonders what might be the reason for this, and then emphasizes the ruggedness and harshness of the Yemeni landscape. However, amid this austere environment, there are still beautiful things to be found, such as the roses and the gemstones. The second verse describes the presence of military activity, as evidenced by the sounds of the soldiers' drills in the courtyard, but also the humanity of the soldiers who carry with them simple possessions such as a pair of shoes and a hat.
The song's melody and rhythm, coupled with the lyrics, create a sense of longing and wonder for Yemen, a place that is both tough and beautiful. It speaks to the hearts of listeners who have not been to Yemen but share the same sentiments with the singer. This song is a lament for the lost Yemeni Kingdom and a declaration of love for an ancient country.
