Excellent Turkish singer : ŞEBNEM FERAH

     If i don't mention my favorite singer, i can close this blog. Yeah!!! She is my favourite singer about Turkish rock. Usually i don't listen rock music but she is not familiar with the others. Because her style is wonderful. She is very charismatic singer against all of them. If you want, i mention about her life shortly.

     She was born in 12nd April 1972 in Yalova. She has three sisters. In the earthquake, she lost her mother and father however she didn't break rock music. After she graduated high school, she have gone ODTU Economy department but she have broken this department because she was interested with rock music so, she have came İstanbul University English Department and she and her friends have created Volvox that is rock music group. Onno Tunç and Sezen Aksu that are very popular Turkish famous helped to Şebnem Ferah  and she started to own music carrier.

     Her songs are very emotional for every people. For she,  old people that are very importan are not second citizen. What's more, she helped poor children. 

     I writed and gave to her few songs that are listened by you in English :

While i sing my song

There is a fire burning inside me
My body is becoming too crowded for me
Come extinguish or relight my fire
Talk to me as much as you please
Lie to me as much as you please
You can't silence the voices inside me that make me myself
That small hole you slip into
you think its a new and bigger world?
I could help with a mirror, knowing you wont care.

I cannot help but wonder
how you sleep at night
Forget me, and answer yourself
But can you be honest this time?

you can turn up the volume, while i sing my song,
or you can turn down the volume, and keep on ignoring
Who knows, for you might smile, or you might cry
You can not silence the voices in my heart!..

One side still thinks of you
The other is upset with you
only we know what happened, you can not make me forget
Never think that i hate you
You cannot harbor such feelings in me
And even if you erase the past, you cannot rewrite it.

I cannot help but wonder
how you sleep at night
Forget me, and answer yourself
But can you be honest this time?

you can turn up the volume, while i sing my song,
or you can turn down the volume , and keep on ignoring
Who knows, for you might smile, or you might cry
You can not silence the voices in my heart!..

Can kırıkları

in this crowd
instead of feeling so alone
i am on my own in one tip(point) of the world

ur coulours which doesnt show dirt
they shall be urs,instead of fearing
i am on my own in exact turbid

maybe i have a secret knowledge of mine
surely i cry,i have soul(life) brokens
what u see is what is flowing on my cheek
indeed inside me,there is a sea which i swim in

Ocean

A heavy door in front of me
And ocean behind it
I was already born in water
I have to open the door

Just that time, someone comes over
Takes hold of my ear
His eyes on the keyhole
says "just look through this"

I tell him to let that small picture go
This small breeze is not enough for us
Where the hell did u rasped it
He says, no, holding my ankle

Now a heavy door is in fron of me
And theres ocean behind it
And someone pulls me from my ankle
But I have to open the door

I say "look at the huge world"
I need to get out of here at once
At least, dont pull my ankle
I have to see and learn everything

Forward and backward
Every step means the behind of this door
Even if i am to drown at the end
I have to swim in those waters

This small scene seen through the keyhole
If thatz enough for u, let it be
But I need to swim in those waters
I need to swim

Men Don't Cry

There are thousands of regrets in your heart,and tears in your eyes
On your face,there's the weird worry that is given by wrong feelings
Your voice sounds sorrowful,your hands are cold
You're not able to say even a word now

But men don't cry,wipe your tears away
And don't turn your looks away from me
Men don't cry; remember,we're humans
I'll be able to forget my pain soon

Those tears are melting me,sweetheart
Men don't cry,wipe your tears away

To me,it's hard to forget those hard days
I know well how it feels
When you wait for nights
When you miss someone so much and know that he doesn't love you
With an endless sorrow

Men don't cry...
