Uzaklarд±n Tгјrkгјsгј | Г–zlem Г–zdilв

"Şehir yanar deniz susar / Fabrikalar zehir kusar" (The city burns, the sea is silent / Factories vomit poison).

Born in Hannover, Germany, in 1979, Özdil grew up in the heart of the Turkish diaspora. This unique "Euro-Turkish" upbringing is woven into the very fabric of "Uzakların Türküsü." The song was written by her father, the folk poet , during his own years of labor and longing in Germany. Г–zlem Г–zdilВ UzaklarД±n TГјrkГјsГј
