yıllarca aradım kendi kendimi
hiçbir türlü bulamadım ben beni
hayal miyim bir rüya mı bilinmez
hiçbir türlü bulamadım ben beni

insan mıyım mahluk muyum ot muyum
ekilir biçilir bir nebat mıyım
mecnun muyum bir güzele kul muyum
hiçbir türlü bulamadım ben beni

Fikret Kızılok & Tehlikeli Madde - İnsan Mıyım, Mahluk Muyum, Ot Muyum - 1974

The only sound is of the sea
Gentle lapping on the shore so free
There's no one else but you and me
We're alone on this world so carefree

Peaceful quiet peaceful quiet peaceful
In my heart you stay, in my heart you stay

The only sound is of the waves so blue
Soothing me with every gentle hue
I'm alone in a world that's full and bright
And I know it's safe on this peaceful night

No need to think about tomorrow
There's no one else but you and me here, just us now
The only sound is of the sea

The only sound is of the breeze so sweet
In our hearts we know, this moment's complete

The Only Sound

Live except for the harmonies, which are existentially impossible for Maz to to sing at the same time as the melody.

Everything else was sung, played, recorded and produced in one go, with amps, speakers and mics etc placed around the room in advance to get the sound picture of the folk tale (three sisters and a riddling geezer). There are only two of us!

This is our first Child: Child Ballad 1. Not the 'Cruel Sister' version by Pentangle but the 'happily married' 2013 version by Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer.

There were three sisters in the north
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
And they lived in their mother's house
And you'll beguile a lady soon
There came a man one evening late
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
He came knocking at the gate
And you'll beguile a lady soon

The eldest sister let him
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
And locked the door with a silver pin
And you'll beguile a lady soon
The second sister made his bed
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
And laid soft pillows 'neath his head
And you'll beguile a lady soon
The youngest sister, fair and bright
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
She lay beside him all through the night
And you'll beguile a lady soon

And in the morning, come the day
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
She said "Young man, will you marry me?"
And you'll beguile a lady soon
He said "Yes, I'll marry thee
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
If you can answer this for me:
And you'll beguile a lady soon
The answers to the riddles are: envy, flattery, rumour, regret, love.

Kimse bir gün gözlerimi sevmeyecek, biliyorum.
Kimse bir gün kimseyi sevmeyecek, korkuyorum.
