about

The story of Şahmeran, the queen of all the snakes in Persian mythology, is told theatrically by ZABB in this song. While doing that, they show their respect to Anatolia, the hometown of Şahmeran, by the sound of 70’s Anatolian Rock. Bendir, which is a turkish percussion used mostly for the religious rituals, combines with fuzzy guitar and vintage bass to form a real psychedelic song. You should listen Şahmeran before cuting her, as in the story.

lyrics

Şahmeran koca bir yılan, huzurunda Adem var.
Soru sordu insana, sevgi mi meranlık başı mı derdin
Uğruna ölecek kadar diye diretme, insan gerçek yılan bir bilse keşke.
Uzat hüsrevin hançerini sor kanıtla öyleyse.

İnsan kuyuya düştüyse, bulduğu deliği büyüttüyse
Şahmeranı gördüyse, ihaneti yakındır.

Vezir yılanı kestiyse altın tepside biçtiyse
Şahmeranım öldüyse, efsanesi kalandır
