Details

Description

This is a Turkish folk song performed by Grup Abdal. It describes a worker named Ali who was stabbed by British soldiers. Ali could barely walk, and moved towards the Mağusa Limanı (Mağusa Port) looking for help. He fell down, and never got up. The song laments his undeserved fate.
