Ez Kevokim le le
Kurdistan


Tasha Lanez

What is the song about? What does the song mean?

The Kurdish song “Ez Kevokim le le” describes a singer's longing for her lover. “Ez kevok im” means ”I am a dove.” It is a beautiful and poetic song that captures the essence of love and nurturing, with the dove symbolizing the singer's sincere devotion. Music and rhythm very beautifully interpret the passion and intensity of the singer's feelings.

Why is the song so well known in your country of origin?

It is famous because it is a very old and unique song with a catchy beat and beautiful lyrics. It shows the need for freedom and also describes the beauty of a Kurdish girl. Viewed properly, the song reflects Kurdish culture and how we want to be free as birds and live in peace. And of course, about the love we have for our homeland Kurdistan.

What special meaning does the song have for you?

For me, the song is very special because I feel connected to it, especially when it talks about being a free bird because we Kurds want peace and freedom.

 I am a Kurdish girl from the city of Zaxo. I am 23 and I love to sing!
