| Main Text (Short Video Script) | Beyond his international pop hits, Tarkan has paid deep tribute to the Turkish cultural heritage. The “Respect for the Masters, Return to Self” section of his concert marathon at the Harbiye Open Air Theater (August 2015) was a legendary moment. Joined by master Erkan Oğur and a folk instrument orchestra, Tarkan reinterpreted masterpieces like “Leylim Ley.” The song, with music by Zülfü Livaneli and poetic lyrics by Sabahattin Ali, is an expression of deep longing and devotion, where the lover becomes “a dry leaf fallen from a branch” yearning to rest on their beloved’s bare feet. The union of the Megastar’s charismatic voice with Oğur’s bağlama deeply moved the 7,000 attendees, celebrating musical mastery that bridges Turkish tradition with the present. |
