舞蹈│【歌舞99】之18：困擾的駱駝ISTE HENDEK

每一個學校的土風舞社，都有所謂的”社舞”；社舞是一定要學，而且每個人都要會跳會教。

我進社團時，已經教過一遍社舞，所以學長們都要我大二時再學。但是每次聯歡放到標示為”社舞”的舞碼，社員們全都下去跳了，剩我一個也很奇怪，於是硬凹學長在下次聯歡來到之前一定要教會我….

話雖這麼說，但是真的沒這麼簡單。這首被尊為”社舞”的困擾的駱駝ISTE HENDEK，是一首源自東土耳其的短列舞，在變換段落時旁邊沒有人很難作動作；所以學長好不容易集合到幾個newbie加我，然後正式教這首舞。剛開始的基本步很簡單，加了變化的振步也還可以，可是到了間奏完的新段落音樂，學長居然要我們把緊握在身邊的手變成屈肘緊靠，兩邊的人往斜外方向做基本步，然後整個身體貼在鄰人身上….從正面看就好像是一個三角形，中間的人當支撐，兩邊的人斜靠在中間的人身上

吼….雖然前面都很簡單好配音樂，但是到後面這個，真的是超高難度動作….怪不得學姐們都只跳基本步不滑下去，原來就是這個原因啊！

不過，其實為什麼會把這首舞翻譯成困擾的駱駝ISTE HENDEK，至今仍是不解之謎；配舞的樂曲原名為ISTE HENDEK, ISTE DEVE，是出自已故的著名土耳其前衛搖滾歌手BARIS MANÇO之手，並由其於1970年演唱發行。有機會看完英譯歌詞的話，會發現很多不一樣的土耳其民情喔！

(原文)
Kuyu basina vardim zeynep im bekler diye
Nasil haber il almissa dayi emmi hep orda
dediler “Ne ararsin? Kizi almak mi istersin?
Sana bir cift cözümüz var hele buysa niyetin

Iste hendek iste deve
ya atlarsin ya düsersin
baktin olmaz vazgecersin
zordur almak bizden kizi

Iste halep iste arsin
Ya asarsin ya bicersin
baktin olmaz vazgecersin
zordur almak bizden kizi

Sögüdün dali uzun
Barisin gönlü hüzün
Elim eline degmedi
Varin anlayin gayri

Iste hendek iste deve
ya atlarsin ya düsersin
baktin olmaz vazgecersin
zordur almak bizden kizi

Iste halep iste arsin
Ya asarsin ya bicersin
baktin olmaz vazgecersin
zordur almak bizden kizi

(英譯)
I came to the well,
thinking my Zeyneb would be waiting.
Somehow her uncles found out
and they were already there.
They said \What are you looking for?
Do you want to marry the girl?
We have a few words to say to you
if this is indeed your plan.”

\Here is a ditch, here is a camel.
Either leap over (on camelback) or fall in.
If you think you can’t, then give up.
It’s hard to get our daughter from us!
Here’s Aleppo (a distant city), here’s
the yardstick.
Either you get there or you try to measure up.
If you think you can’t, then give up!
It’s hard to get our daughter from us!”

The branch of the willow is long.
The heart of Baris is sad.
I never even touched her hand with mine.
I’ll let you figure out the rest.
