On another matter......

Dont get me wrong... i think the istiklal marşı ... the national anthem of turkey is nice... just listen to this tune...

When Baddin's teacher sent a piece of paper with the İstiklal Marsı...the Turkish National Anthem lyrixs for baddin to learn... i subconciously tried to *lose* the paper of the lyrics... i mean... come on!! What do i know of the Turkish National Anthem, eh? I have only heard it a few times!! and so....over the hectic course of the weekend...managed to misplace the paper hehehe(honest!!)

Then come monday and another note came from his teacher saying that Baddin had not learnt his lines and he should learn it...Haydaaaa...i really wanted to cry then...Halil wount be back till wayyyyyyyyy the kids' past bedtime.... I couldnt call him either... he was in a meeting... At that time... i practically was starting to get headache....And with Hatice's help...she managed to sing (she herself has not learnt the lyrics correctly)the rythm of the song....... and so... just like aliens...i tried to teach both my kids the song. lyrics...

As Hatice was doing her homework, i dragged baddin to the pc and prayed that imeem.com has the song for me to learn from (THANKS imeem!)... i got more confused!! The pronounciation and rhythm was such... i had no hope of learning the tune properly..I called Meşe..... Merve (meşe's daughter) picked up the phone... and i asked her help to sing me that song... My *wonderful* (not) turkish pronounciation... my ignorance of the rhythm of the national anthem...all added into one lead to my totall confusion some more...Somehow..i managed to teach baddin almost 3/4 of the song lyrics...

If my beloved has time to teach them...it will be great... but he is too busy... and the little time he has at home... he wants to spend it playing with the kids.... not teaching them the national anthem...

By Nationality.. my kids r turkish citizens... they live in turkey... they go to a turkish school...so...it is only normal that they should know the Turkish National Anthem... Hatice is 99 percent able to sing the song.. Baddin still has difficulties in the second paragraph ...which is normal coz i have difficulty catching n saying those last 3 lines as well....Here is the lyrics... and see whther u can follow the song n the pronounciation as welll :0)...pls click to the istiklal marşı below for the singing and the music..

Korkma,sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak,

Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak,

O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;

O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.

Çatmak, kurban olayı,çehreni ey nazlı hilal!

Kahraman ırkıma bir gül!Ne bu şiddet, bu celal?

Sana olmaz dökulen kanlarımız sonra helal....

Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
