Maya Dağdan Kalkan Kazlar Karaoke

The lyrics of Müzeyyen Senar's "Vardar Ovası" speaks of the beauty of the Maya mountains and how it deceptively brings joy to the people residing in the region. The song opens with the image of wild geese flying over the mountain and women walking in white high-heeled shoes, which creates a vivid picture of rural life. The lyrics suggest a kind of isolation, - "I cannot have fun, nor be deceived, I cannot stay in these places" - while painting a picturesque view of the land. Despite the beauty, there remains the sadness and the struggle of the poor people who cannot afford to buy rakı with their hard-earned money.

The second verse emphasizes the persona's identity as a star from Maya mountain and a daughter of her mother, and an important person in her lover's life. However, it continues to reflect the sense of wanting more, of wanting to leave the place and the struggle behind. The song's refrain repeats the connection of Vardar Ovasi to the lyrics' meaning, as it underlines the failure to win a small amount of money to buy rakı.

Overall, the song presents a powerful image of rural life and yearning for a better life, highlighting how people are bound to their circumstances, mainly due to their poverty. It also reflects the real-life struggle of Turkish rural women who faced oppression, and their longing for freedom and independence.
