Ey Güzel Qırım
Ey, güzel Qırım is a famous Crimean Tatar folk song. Its melody is universally recognized among Crimean Tatars and is frequently played in Crimean Tatar concerts. The sorrow lyrics mourn a life of exile and grieve over the loss of a beloved homeland. The origin of the song is unclear, but it is believed that it was composed anonymously sometime after the deportation of the Crimean Tatars. However, there are unconfirmed allegations that it written during a visit to Alushta in 1968 by Fatma Halilova and Shurki Osmanov - Crimean Tatars who were exiled to Andijan. A stanza of the song that did not contain the word "Crimea" was incorporated into Jamala's song "1944" when she represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 and won.Lyrics
