Tarkan Mini Biography

Tarkan Tevetoglu is the most popular singer in Turkey and widely considered as living legend.

Born in Alzey, near Frankfurt in 1972, he grew up in Germany. In 1986, his father decided to relocate his family back to his homeland in Turkey. Tarkan began to study music in Karamursel. His road to fame began when his family moved to Istanbul in 1988, and he began to prepare for University entrance exams in 1990.

In 1991, he met Mehmet Sogutoglu (owner of Istanbul Plak, a prominent Turkish record company) who made him a star. His debut album Yine Sensiz ('Without You Again') sold over half a million copies. His second album Acayipsin ('You're Something Else') sold more than two million copies in Turkey and 750,000 copies in Europe. This album made him also famous in Europe especially in Russia and Ukraine. In 1994, Tarkan spent time in the USA to learn English where he met Ahmet Ertegun (the late Turkish co-founder of music giant Atlantic Records). Before the music mogul passed away in 2006, he had been quietly grooming Tarkan for an American career. In 1997, after a 3-year break, Tarkan released his third Turkish-language album, an album that prompted over a million orders before release and eventually sold nearly four million copies.

On the tour that followed in 1997, he filled the Hippodrome in London, the Bataclan and Olympia in Paris, and the Arena in Berlin. When the album's single (Simarik-Kiss Kiss) was released by PolyGram (which became Universal) in 1999 in Europe, it reached high chart positions across the continent, including No. 3 in France and No.1 in Belgium. PolyGram decided to license a compilation album of Tarkan's songs from his previous two albums for the international market. He won a World Music Award in Monaco in the same year for the sales of that album, simply titled "Tarkan". It also became a hit in Latin America in 2000.

He followed with albums Karma in 2001 and Dudu in 2003, signaling an experimentation with ethnocentric pop. The Dudu EP won Tarkan best foreign selling artist in Russia when it reached over a million sales.

In 2006 Tarkan released his debut English language album, "Come Closer". And now in 2008, Metamorfoz. He is a real star of pop music

Eyvah Song LyricsTarkan

Bile bile yine beni aradi buldu
Dagitti yikti kulleri savurdu

Ah kacamadim
Beni yine yakaladi eyvah
Cefasi cezasi tuketti beni
Kaba saba sozleri bu etti beni
Kurtulamadim kelepceledi beni eyvah

Kara melegim yine omuzuma kondu
Dilim tutuldu sozlerim dondu
Cozulemedim dugumledi beni eyvah

Deli ediyor beni yalanlari deli
Huzursuz ediyor bakislari beni
Terkedemedim haciladi beni eyvah

Basimin belasi ambalaj hatasi
Bu kadin gecemin korkulu ruyasi
Havada karada o hep yanimda
Her yerde bu kadin olurum sonunda
Beni ariyor, soruyor, geliyor eyvah
Geri donuyor, yemin ediyor, beni seviyor eyvah

Tarkan Durum Beter Song Lyrics

Lyrics and Music: Tarkan

Keyfine bak unut dertleri
Umursama dunya fani
Bir bilmece, bir bulmaca hayat
Dusunme bile cozmeyi

Hep alisverisler
Bitmiyor vaatler
Kavgalar da tuz biber
Yetti canima, tak etti canima
Durun yeter, durum beter

Aldanma dostum, inanma dostum
Yalan yarinlara
Yaniyor dunya, bitiyor dunya
Dusun kara kara

Keyfine bak unut dertleri
Onemseme dunya fani
Bir bilmece, bir bulmaca hayat
Dusunme bile cozmeyi

Acmiyor cicekler
Toz duman gonuller
Tehlikede bebekler
Yetti canima, tak etti canima
Durun yeter, durum beter

Tarkan Music - Don't Leave Me Alone Lyrics

Must have been to blinded to see
It was there all along
And all the signs that I missed, gave up on me
They're already gone
Fire, I want it back
Desire, I want it back
Tell me you believe ther's no chance
That we still belong

I know I can't escape the pain
It's falling on me like the rain
Don't leave me alone

Nights are getting lonely and cold
I am left in the dark
And all the words should have been unspoken
Trust in our hearts
Fire, I want it back
Desire, I want it back
This can't be the end of the story
Let's not fall apart

I know I can't escape the pain
It's falling on me like the rain
Don't leave me alone

Baby try to keep the faith
To make the sun come out again
Don't leave me alone

I miss your skin on my skin
Won't you let me in
Need to have it all
I miss your kiss on my lips
Won't you not resist
Need to have it all
I need to have it all

Fire, I want it back
Desire, I want it back

Don Bebegim - Tarkan Lyrics

Söz - Müzik: Ümit Sayin

Sensiz gecelerin koynunda
Uyku girmez gozlerime
Bu karanliklar beni eritse de
Vazgecmem senden

Aski alevinden
Bilirim gunler yeniden dogacak
Ellerim dokununca yuregin yanacak
Bilirim hersey yeniden yasanacak
Sarilinca boynuna gozlerin dolacak

Yururum gecenin ustune
Salarim güneslerimi
Gorurum tane tane acilan gullerimi

Yururum gecenin ustune
Gunahlardan gecerim
Ezerim birer birer yalan sevisleri

Don bebegim
Don caresiz basim
Ayrilik boyle uzun surmez ki
Don bebegim
Acilar seliyim
Don bebegim
Hasrete gebeyim

Tarkan Come Closer Song Lyrics

A wind is blowing and a fire's loose
I couldn't find the words to call a truce
And tore the temple down to let the spirit rise..

In the sound of the storm
I can hear just one voice

All over
Let us all come closer

There is nowhere to touch that doesn't hurt
There is nowhere that I can't look that isn't blurred
With all the righteousness and all the holy words...ooo

In the sound of the storm
I can hear just one voice

All over
When the heart sinks lower
And the healing slower
Let us all come over

I need a hand for
A thread of peace and a send of hope
I will raise my eyes to see more
Speak a truth and we shall know...

In the light of one choice
We will sing with one voice

All over
When the heart sinks lower
And the healing slower
Let us all come over

That is where we are
That is who we are
That is all we are
