If only you could tune in, by the heart of the tongue, birds, stones, trees, plains, and all that lives can speak. Then, the smallest detail is made visible. The dawn and the night sing epics, if you can hear.
Understanding the tongue of the air, the soil, the sea, the mountains, the stones, and people is to tune into the heart.
The Book of Dede Korkut is the ancient narration that passes on the consciousness of coexistence from the past to this day. In it, the past, the future, and today becomes one, and the human being exists in the oneness…
With a chant of Dede Korkut, we have also sung of the feeling of existence from those days to ours.
