Well I remember a song or lullaby whatever it's called, my father singed one to me when i was still a child... He took my right hand and began gently making a circle on my palm with his index finger and he sang:

çevrin çevrin, çevrengjik, (he made a circle)
Ortasinda bunargjik (here he stopped the circle)
Bu tutmish (touched my little finger), bu çesmish (the next finger),
Bu pishermish (next finger), bu yemish (last touched the index finger)
Bu demish (then shaked my thumb as if it was angry):
Nerde bene parçene? Nerde bene parçene?


I must have made looooots of mistakes and I know that, so if someone can correct me and tell me if they know this song (I know its meaning)? I'd be very happy.

looolllll

again...when yigiter and abdilhan wake up they will help u a lot more than me...

i grew up with "round and round the garden like a teddy bear...one step two step tickle em everywhere..."

i sort of know this...ur interpretation is pretty hard to uncover seeing as i dnt know it...but the brothers will know it and they will translate...

ill do my best...
the first bit is i think something like "round and round the circle"
i have no idea what bunarjik is...but ortasinda means "in the middle"
then he grabbed ur fingers one by one saying "this one held it"
"this one pulled it"
"this one cooked it"
"and this one ate it"
then the last finger was angry and said
"where is my....." i have no idea what parcene is...
lol...

that was fun....ur from bosnia rite sis...i remember...we met earlier and u explained that ur ancestry had something to do with the ottomans...

loll I'm from Kosovo. Yes, my ancestary has to do with the Ottomans, mashaAllah... My grandfather's father came from Istanbul but as far as I know my roots go to Bursa...

Anyways...

Let me try to explain the song bit where it wasn't clear: Bunargjik is meant to be a well, and in the middle of the well there's suppoused to be a fish. Naaa, it continues... The fingers are like "persons" what they did with the fish lool... Then that last where is my... bit, part. Bit of the fish.

The thumb gets angry and that's why my dad shaked it, lol I laughed so hard as a kid...


InshaAllah the brothers can help too. But jazakAllah khair for trying sis, you did a very good job actually!
