Katibim (Uskudara Giderken) - Turkish traditional song | Thu Le Classical Guitar

Katibim (Uskudara Gideriken), Turkish traditional song, arranged for guitar by Armin Kulla
...............................................................................................................................................
"Kâtibim" ("my clerk"), or "Üsküdar'a Gider İken" ("while going to Üsküdar") is a Turkish folk song about someone's clerk (kâtip) as they travel to Üsküdar. The tune is a famous Istanbul türkü,[1] which is spread beyond Turkey in many countries, especially in the Balkans.
Lyrics (English Translation) :
On the way to Üsküdar, rain started to pour down.
My clerk's frock coat is long, its skirt with mud.
It seems the clerk just woke up, his eyes are languid.
The clerk belongs to me, I belong to the clerk, what is it to others?
How handsome my clerk looks with starched shirts!
On the way to Üsküdar, I found a handkerchief.
I filled the handkerchief with Turkish delight.
As I was looking for my clerk, I found him next to me.
The clerk belongs to me, I belong to the clerk, what is it to others?
How handsome my clerk looks with starched shirts!
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldı da bir yağmur.
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, eteği çamur.
Kâtip uykudan uyanmış, gözleri mahmur.
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karışır?
Kâtibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır!
Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum.
Mendilimin içine (de) lokum doldurdum.
Kâtibimi arar iken yanımda buldum.
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karışır?
Kâtibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır!

I hope people realize how difficult it is to play a piece like this WITHOUT looking at the neck of the guitar the majority of the time. It takes years and years of practice to be able to do that. Most guitarists never reach that level in a lifetime. Thank you Thu Le for all of your amazing performances and for brightening up the world with your music and your beauty. I LOVE that mysterious smile you give while your fingers are blazing away on the guitar. Could Thu Le be the greatest guitarist in the modern world? I think so.

[@RickarooCarew]

I'm pretty forgiving if others do... I've been playing.. non professionally.. non classical music.. for more than 50 years.. I do it a few hours a week.. at best... I do calculus in my head... because I do it all day every day... no worries mate... she's an excellent musician... and teacher... and she gives us... those trying to learn how.. something to aspire to... meanwhile.. I peek maybe 🤔.. if the teacher was watching I'd straighten up and fly right.. but hey te amo Thu Le... best guitar teacher in the World... and.. except for my lovely wife... possibly the most beautiful woman in the World 🌎🌍 hòa bình = peace ✌️

[@rainbenkennaz6173]

Its really not hard if you play it traditional and not like she did

[@liyanc521]

Ay bro she’s good ash don’t get me wrong but it’s not bc she can’t look at the neck u can do that with less than a year of practicing

[@swingblues64]

I can't agree more. How do I know that? I took that path...

[@ahsenapaydin]

As a Turkish person, I'm very impressed. I love it. That's awesome. ❤🇹🇷👏💐

[@phillipbradshaw]

I first learned it as Terk in Amerika playing Klezmer music. Then learned the original Turkish Katabim, but I've never heard it like this! Bravo Thu Le!

[@moiseshdz170]

Thu Le, you take us in a magic carpet ride across the Arabian dessert. Mil gracias!

[@duyhungnguyen8759]

The way she moves her fingers on the guitar fretboard is like the skillful movements of ballet dancers on the dance floor. Hat off!

[@mermelina]

This song used to be sung by an afroamerican lady cslled Ertha Kitt in the 1950's I used to listen that song and learnt iot in turkish, because of her! Thank yo, you just brought me magistralment so many years Thank you!😁

Superb!

[@franksabatino7576]

Thank you Thu Le. Your performances of music from all over the world continue to delight me. Years ago acoustic guitarist John Renbourn recorded an early English dance that is probably rooted in Turkish traditional music like this stirring and beautiful piece.

[@julioferrari9373]

Very cute, Thu!. It's beautiful to hear you play and see you!🌷❤

[@daviddeborde2542]

I'm so amazed at the colors. Wow, the music is awesome! Thank you.

ich liebe Künstler , die sich schoener Melodien aus der Folklore annehmen. das Volkslied wird durch die kunstvolle Art des Spiels sehr aufgewertet. I love artists who take on beautiful melodies from folk music. The folk song is enhanced by the artful nature of the game.

Your a delight and an inspiration. Very interesting piece. BTW, that guitar really roars with the sixth string E tuned down to D. Wow!

Hermosísimo tema de la música de Turquía, pueblo de tradiciones ancestrales!!!

[@popaadvokat7939]

mashallah

[@zvuksvetla]

This melody is Serbian folk song "Aj, ruse kose curo imaš". Arrangement and performing is top notch. Well done, Thu Le!

[@haviskam]

You probably inherited it when Serbia was under Ottoman rule.

[@chopsddy3]

@@haviskam It really does sound eastern European. I would bet that it was shared during the time of Ottoman rule.

[@rafie1953]

Hello Le , awesome music as always. I’m Persian and we have a folklore song with this tune , all this time I had believed it as a Persian music ! You made me homesick in a good way . 🤓

[@waldemarschneider4003]

Thu Le , i ' m in love with you and your music...

[@DeltaV11]

A few days ago I bought the music for this song and I am absolutely loving learning it. It is incredibly fun and I now totally get why you give those little smiles as you recorded this. It’s honestly a joy to play this arrangement. I’ve been listening to you play this for a couple of months now and have fallen in love with the song. Thank you so much for posting this video (and all your other videos) I love watching you play.

[@Thuleguitarist]

Thank you!

I love you Thu Le!!!! You ARE one of the best... In your music, all of the voices come out clear!!! And are under your full control!!! You can hear them distinctively!!! And you take good care of each and every note and phrase to make it complement what's going on, in, and around the music!!! GOD has allowed you to reach a premier level of musical expertise!! Not to mention your years of dedicated commitment to your craft. Much continued success.!!!🥂

[@promerops]

All of the above is totally correct! I also notice that the bass response of that guitar is very strong - but not at the cost of the treble. A very fine instrument, beautifully played!

[@helpmefortheloveofshrek6623]

Wow, very nice!

[@Thuleguitarist]

Thank you very much!

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

You make a very difficult piece of music look easy. Thu Le you are phenomenal👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@henrydunn9420]

I once had a conversation with a group of guitar players and they were trying to list the top guitarists they have ever heard play. I finally said I could not list any guitarist for fear someone might see the list as a progression of talent from first down. I could list 10 or more that I thought belonged as number 1 but that was before I discovered Thu Le and now I proudly add Thu Le to that group of the finest in the world. Thank you for your life-time of hard work so the world can enjoy your music and talent

[@Thuleguitarist]

Dear Henry, thanks for your kind and encouraging words!

[@osvaldocorrea4443]

Muito bom, espetacular! Essa mão direita é um show! Obrigado.

[@quylevan3613]

Nghe hay quá Cô Thu Lê ơi . Rất tuyệt

[@phillipbradshaw]

Thu Le is so Amazing! I have this written out for 9 instruments [wind and string] moving though three different keys, but this arrangement is powerful and fresh! Love it!

[@conbourdis2468]

Look stunning and sound fantastic.

[@Roq5Brdv]

Жемчужина! 🎼

[@robbrowne8814]

Once again simply brilliant music 🎶🎶

[@terrychampine3376]

I believe we all noticed that you glanced at the fret board about 4 times. In other words, your fingers knew where all the notes were. The music was both thunderous and light as a butterfly with a nice moving bass line. Totally enjoyable! Totally Thu Le!

[@migueldarosa7326]

Que delícia escutar suas execuções com estas mãos leves mágicas parabéns magnífica Thu le Miguel de tramandai RS Brasil 😘👏👏👏👏👏

[@barryphillips7790]

Beautiful tune, beautifully played as usual. Reminded me of Eartha Kitts’ popular song presumably based on the same folk melody.

[@Kenan-Z]

Yes, it is based on the same melody. If I'm not mistaken, she had visited Turkey.

[@Tadeo-ud7ty]

She is a pro. Bravo!

[@Thuleguitarist]

Thanks!

[@joaquimneto5827]

Toda elegância na execução, Thu Le tem essa marca!

[@JetAdvin]

This is so amazing! I thoroughly enjoy seeing and hearing you play. I seldom see you ever looking consistently at the neck except for when you do harmonics 😍 now this is true skill and a goal I wish to achieve some day. Thank you again for this beautiful rendition. You never cease to amaze!
