Hodja
Unlock the Dance of Liberation with Hodja's Guiding Spin
Lyrics
Hodja please show me how to spin now
Hodja, please demonstrate how to spin
Hodja please show me how you do it
Request for Hodja to show the spinning technique
All the other boys are laughing at me again now
Expressing frustration about being mocked by other boys
Hodja please show me how you do it
Reiteration of the request for Hodja to demonstrate spinning
Whenever I talk they don't hear a thing
Feeling unheard when talking
And everyone laughs when I sing
Others laughing when the person sings
Hodja, please show me how to spin
Request for Hodja to teach how to spin
I want to do that dance 'til I forget where I am
Desire to dance until forgetting one's surroundings
So get up out of your bed one more time
Encouragement for Hodja to get out of bed and help again
Hodja, make me spin
Specific request for Hodja to make the person spin
Yeah, teach me to spin like I seen you do
Expressing a desire to learn Hodja's spinning technique
Why don't you make me the envy
Asking Hodja to make the person the envy of kids in school
Of the kids in school
Desire to be admired by others
I know what to wear, I know how to sound
Confidence in appearance and communication
I know about kissing the ground
Awareness of the ritual of kissing the ground
From every alley in Konya
Reference to Konya and its alleys
Mevlana sings "Turn around, turn around
Mention of Mevlana urging to turn around
You've got to spin 'til your feet leave the
Instruction to spin until feet leave the ground
Ground"
Continuation of the spinning theme
Hodja, someday soon you will be moving on
Acknowledging Hodja's eventual departure
So won't you let me be the one
Request to be the one Hodja shares a secret with
You lay the secret on
Desire to receive Hodja's wisdom
And it's a 2 4 6 8, take it from the top
Numeric rhythm reference, possibly related to dance
You've got to start me up and don't let me stop
Encouragement to start and continue without stopping
