Project song written by Recep Bağcı, a Turkish LTTA participant in Zagreb

During the LTTA in partner school Oton Iveković in Zagreb, was created a song dedicated to the partner meeting.  At a farewell dinner, we discovered that we have a very talented poet from Turkey who has published a collection of poems.

Thank you dear Recep Bağcı for this wonderful gift.

ZAGREB'TE  BAZEN

Bazen  sessizlik yakışır,

Bazen şamata, eğlence,

Yağmurlar Zagreb’imize damla damla inince,

Bazen umutla gülümser,

Bazen asar yüzünü Zagreb.

Sensizlik bu kentte bekleyince.

Bazen sokaklarında saklıdır.

Bazen tünellerine de

Aşka sahip çıkar Zagreb

Bazen sana ait çığlıklar yankılanır

Bazen benim isyanlarım

Sağır olur duymaz Zagreb

Bazen hatırlanır yıllar sonra

Bazen bir daha dönülmez asla

Ama kin tutmaz Zagreb unutanlara

Bazen ben olur Zagreb;

Soğuk ama samimi.

Bazen sen olur Zagreb;

Çılgın ve sevimli.

Yolunun her düştüğünde

Senden bir selam bekler Zagreb

Ağlama sakın, gülümse 😄

Zagreb de yaşadıkların rüyalarına gelince.

TRANSLATION 

SOMETIMES IN ZAGREB

Sometimes silence fits,

 Sometimes joy, sometimes fun

 When the rains come down

 to our Zagreb,

 Sometimes she smiles with hope

 Sometimes Zagreb has a sad face

 Loneliness while waiting for you in this city

 Sometimes hidden in its streets

 And sometimes in its tunnels

 Zagreb takes care of love

 Sometimes your screams echo

And sometimes my rebellions

 Zagreb becomes deaf can not hear any of us

 Sometimes it is remembered years later

 Sometimes you can never turn back

 But Zagreb does not get offended to those who forget

 Sometimes Zagreb happens to be me;

Serious but sincere.

 Sometimes Zagreb happens to be you;

 Crazy and lovely .

 Every time you happen to be in Zagreb

 She expects a hello from you

 Don't cry but smile

 When the memories of Zagreb visit you in your dreams.
