Üsküdar'a gider İken - Pink Martini ft. Storm Large | Live from Washington - 2011

Pink Martini is on tour in 2022! Tickets are on sale now at:
pinkmartini.com/shows/
Excerpted from Pink Martini's September 3, 2011 concert at Chateau Ste. Michelle, near Seattle, Washington. "Üsküdar'a gider İken" is a traditional Turkish song that appears on from Pink Martini's 2013 studio album, Get Happy, here featuring vocalist Storm Large. The song has long been popular in concert for the band, with bandleader Thomas Lauderdale usually inviting Turkish fans in the audience to come on stage to sing backup, no matter where the concert is taking place.
LYRICS (in Turkish):
Üsküdara gider iken
Aldýda bir yaghmur
Üsküdara gider iken
Aldýda bir yaghmur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun
Eteghi çamur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun
Eteghi çamur
Üsküdara gider iken
Bir mendil buldum
Üsküdara gider iken
Bir mendil buldum
Mendilimin içine de
Lokum doldurdum
Mendilimin içine de
Lokum doldurdum
Kâtibimi arar iken
Yanýmda buldum
Kâtibimi arar iken
Yanýmda buldum
Kâtip benim ben kâtibin
El ne karýshýr
Kâtibime kolalý da gömlek
Ne güzel yarashýr
LYRICS (English translation):
On the way to Üsküdar
It started raining
On the way to Üsküdar
It started raining
My scribe’s coats are long
His skirt is muddy
My scribe’s coats are long
His skirt is muddy
On the way to Üsküdar
I found a handkerchief
On the way to Üsküdar
I found a handkerchief
And I filled the kerchief with
Lokum (Turkish delight candy)
And I filled the kerchief with
Lokum (Turkish delight candy)
When I looked for my scribe
I found him at my side
When I looked for my scribe
I found him at my side
The scribe is mine, I’m the scribe’s
Hands will mix
How much it suits my scribe
To have a starched collar

I know this song as sung by Eartha Kitt. She heard it at a pub, while working in Turkye in the 50's and started performing it herself. It got some airtime on Turkish radio. She later recorded it as Uska Dara. It is based on the Turkish folk song Kâtibim.

[@Charliethedawg]

Thank you. But how is her singing? Is she doing doing good job? As far as language goes?

[@europauniversalisivsevdals9682]

@@Charliethedawg Hello friend. Musically, she is doing good. Her intonation is not bad tho. Her pronunciation could be better but turkish language is quite hard. Sometimes even turkish people can't pronounce every word in right way so when we consider she is not a native speaker of turkish language, she is doing very well. I hope this answer satisfy you. Take care of yourself friend, loves from Turkey.

[@LadyBird791]

Thanks to you🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏽

[@peterroschmann2461]

First of all, what did the gentleman say to Storm near the end? And second, I love love love the genuine response of the individuals as Storm began singing. They seemed maybe a little nervous at first but once Storm sang, all melted away and only smiles and dancing remained. This interaction with the audience I think really is the soul of pink Martini. Good luck to PM and their upcoming performances in Sonoma, CA!!

[@Ozgur72]

I didnt understand what he said first but he praised her turkish pronunciation.

[@mehmetaliklc9423]

Bir Türk olarak çok teşekkür ediyorum PİNK MARTİNİ. Ülkemin daha güzel tanıtımı yapılamazdı. Ben bir yetkili olsam size mutlaka ''KÜLTÜR NİŞANI'' verirdim. Hemen şunu belirteyim STROME LARGE ve CHINA FORBES' in Türkçe diksiyonları çok hoş.. Translate from Google: As a Turk, thank you very much PINK MARTIN. My country could not have been presented better. If I were an official, I would definitely give you the "CULTURAL ORDER". Let me just say that the Turkish dictions of STROME LARGE and CHINA FORBES are very nice..

What an incredible performance. Congratulations. There is wrong translation in the lyrics. Kâtip benim ben kâtibim ; El ne karışır. (El=Strangers, Foreigners)(Karışmak=Intervene ) Sentence gives the meaning of "Strangers have no right to interfere with me." At the end we can translate "El ne karışır?" like that; "How can strangers intervene?"

The song meant to sink Eartha Kitt's singing career but ended up launching it. Love it.

[@PinkMartiniOfficial]

We hadn't heard the part about this song being "meant to sink her career", but yes, it did put her on the map! She encountered it when traveling to Istanbul in 1951. Eartha stayed in Turkey for two months, during which time Ankara Radio gave “Uska Dara" major play and she re-recorded it as her first number when she returned to the states.
