facebook/middle.east.ethnic.music Sari Gelin (Armenian: Սարի Աղջիկ Sari Aghjik), (Azerbaijani: Sarı Gəlin/ساری گلین), (Turkish: Sarı Gelin) is the name for a number of folk songs popular among the people of the southern Caucasus and eastern Anatolia. All versions of the song use the same melody and are written in Bayati genre;[citation needed] but sing different lyrics.[2] Despite Turkish and Armenian claims, there is no consensus about its country of origin.[2]Sari gelin is a blonde tall girl from the mountains. depending on the lyric language Sari means Blonde, fair [skinned], yellow [garment] or mountain And Gelin means bride, maiden or girl. These attributes are also addressed in the lyrics.What the versions have in common, is a boy complaining to/about a girl he loves but cannot achieve.[2] the combination of Armenian, Turkish and Azerbaijani version parallels is the laments of a Muslim Turk (language of both Azerbaijan and Turkey) boy, about a Christian Armenian blond maiden from a mountain or valley, that he loves, although they are kept apart, and the unkind girl is taken away, causing the boy to lament and curse frequently.
