Should I start english requests for every song of erkin koray ?
i find him to be an outstanding artist and could listen to every one of his songs.
Would it be too many requests, and should i keep it lets say 3 or 7 or so at a time ?
I don't know how quick some folks can translate turkish and how many turk speakers there are...
If there's any sources where I can "harvest" existing translations i'm thankful...

Hello I will try to help you. I will translate the songs recorded in LT.
cool i have one of his cd's that I listen to sometimes. I wil start with adding all songs on that cd..
Yes, it is a cool singer. The lyrics are not that hard to understand... I can translate some for you, I did already one translation "ask oyunu" . Thanks for adding the songs.
yes he's the perfect artist. lyrics are short and sweet. but songs have a serene quality to it and go very deep.. I always try to find 2 or 3 good artists for each language and then concentrate on them.
this is so awesome of you all. you can as well translate into french, german or spanish, if thats less work for you, i can do the english. i always pick english cause i think almost the whole world now speaks or at least understands english. and i love to make music accessible.
no way i'm gonna add all the others too, hehe ;) but you don't have to do them this month, it has time til summer or autumn.. thank you a lot.
just added the remaining songs.. in a couple of months when all you guys are done with them, you'll have translated every song erkin koray ever released. thank you to everyone who contributed to the task !!!
Not at all. It is a pleasure for me to translate Erkin Baba ( Father Erkin).
had to remove the lyrics for "yok yok" they were wrong.. i can't find the proper lyrics, please help.
whats happening on the turkish front. have you surrendered gallipoli or can i put together the songbook by the end of summer ?
summer is gone. 24 songs missing. soldiers. i am disappointed.

the erkin koray songbookis coming along. most songs are now complete, i made them a nice PNG file each to compile a pdf later on, each picture contains the whole song in turkish, in english, and with precise information on refrains and bridges to sing along with ease. some songs however are not done. I speak no turkish, so everytime a song lyrics are slightly different than what erkin koray sings, i need a complete new transcript for that song... some songs only need minor adjustments. some need to be completely redone.
some songs have the right lyrics but the line breaks are FUBAR, which is too much work to fix in GIMP/photoshop, so it needs to be redone and posted here. or sent to me as a txt or rtf file with complete turkish and english TL.. ok long story short, here are the FUBAR songs:
