about

In Being the voice, Shwan Suleiman, the excellent soulful Kurdish singer sings a beautiful gazel by İbrahim Ahmed. Original in Sorani Kurdish:

Șirin ezanım ke toș zamdari
Wek mın awdali xunçey bahari
Hiway to yeke, Hiway mın hezar
Mın bèzar nebım, to bo bèzari

In English
Shirin, I know that you are wounded like me
You are in love with the spring buds like me
Your wish is one, mine is a thousand
If I am not wearied, why are you wearied?

In Turkish
Şirin biliyorum ki sen de benim gibi yaralısın
Benim gibi bahar goncalarına aşıksın
Senin dileğin birdir, benim dileğim bindir
Ben usanmadıysam sen neden usandım

lyrics

Șirin ezanım ke toș zamdari
Wek mın awdali xunçey bahari
Hiway to yeke, Hiway mın hezar
Mın bèzar nebım, to boş bèzari
