Can somebody tell me what language this is?

The Name of the band is Cogunluk Zarasiz
The song is ESKI BIR

Dicovered them on Youtube today with very few plays. I like!



Only 76 plays in 8 years.  Wow.

Sounds like Basque to me - not that I've done much basking in the sun in the Basque region of Spain. Smile

The second track is really good too. Great Guitar solos... I'm having a hard time embedding youtubes for some reason.

I'm going through this whole album on youtube.  Fantastic, please listen to the whole thing if you get a chance... Glad they don't sing too much because I sure cant translate whatever it is.  Turkish makes sense Cristi.

Found them on Bandcamp. Think I'll buy it.

only 3 US Dollars. Two songs to go. Let's Make this dude famous!

It's Turkish but I can totally see those Basque overtones as someone who doesn't speak either of these languages. I find that phenomenon fascinating. On a related note, I've heard peple mention that Greek sounds like Spanish.

Great Band. Not sure but certainly is not spanish. Turkish is probably the correct guess.

It's Turkish. The dotless i is usually a dead giveaway, though it is used in some other languages. Copy and pasting the lyrics into Google Translate confirms it.

The spelling is a huge help. Here's an experiment though. If I didn't have any writtern material AND had this obviously wrong lyric spelling presented

Baixtein e inebirgun biteon
Bekledin jarneize inegalmio
Kutxiut alkurutluk lurubirik herrik buio
(and so on)

I would maybe maybe buy the lie that it's Basque, just some rare dialect of it. ;D

As an Italian speaking a bit of Spanish and having traveled to Greece many times I can say that I don't think they sound very similar. I also hav eto add that the standard Spanish is very different from Catalan and also every region of Spain sounds slightly different from each other.
Greek has similarities with the dialect spoken in Naples.

I absolutely agree with you, Octopus Quattro! This phenomenon only works when you don't speak either of the languages or a related language. Like in the case of Turkish and Basque for me.

Turkish, yes. I'm a Turk.

"Cogunlukla Zarasiz" is actually "Ηoğunlukla Zararsız" and it means, "Mostly Harmless".
"Eski bir" means - "An old..." For instance "eski bir şarkı" means "an old song".

Looked through the links...
"
"Kum Taneleri", which is I think the album title means "Grains of Sand".

The other song... "Yeni bir şeyler Pt. 2" means "Some Things New pt. 2".

I've listened to "eski bir" and saw that...

Lol, it is actually "Eksi Bir", not "eski bir". It basically means -1 / minus one.

It can be used for the temparature like -1 degree Celsius = eksi bir santigrat derece. Or, mostly in online social media environments, it can be said to mean that you disagree with one's point. Artı bir means, I agree; eksi bir means, I disagree.

Yet, here the lyrics tell the realisation, acknowledgement, and the eventual frustration of how the "periods of time" (specifically days) fall away one by one, and that it only adds more and more despair onto our lives.

What did you think of this bands music?  I guess it was done in 2015. I was pretty impressed.
