poetry in music

Can music express the words of the poet ?? I have been intrigued by Madina Gulgun an iranian/azeri poet. Her most famous work which was sung by everyone was sen gelmez ouldun. Unless you understand the language you might not be able to identify the depth in her lyrics. Not to mention even if you do find some decent translation.. there are somethings which just gets lost in translation (so true for Urdu poetry). I remember long time ago reading a small poem by John Keats.It tells of the poet's astonishment at reading the works of the ancient Greek poet Homer as freely translated by the Elizabethan playwright George Chapman. Well this new age music inspired by Madina Gulgun's poetry composed by Alihan Samedov made me go look up at her work. I really feel the composer translated Gulgun's poetry into this music. After changing my laptop few time I lost this music... imagine my surprise when i accidentally find it today and yeah i did not know about the composer until today

Nostalgia
