Turkey: Arzu Ece suffering from cancer

Arzu Ece who represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1989 with the song Bana Bana as a member of Group Pan and in 1995 with the song Sev, is fighting against cancer. Despite undergoing chemotherapy, she has has prepared a new song whilst in hospital.

Arzu Ece has been undergoing chemotheraphy treatment for one and a half years and has had part of her chest removed in her fight to beat cancer. She has also lost her hair during her course of treatment.

With great fighting spirit, the former Turkish Eurovision Song Contest representative refuses to let the illness halt her career. She has recorded a new song in the hospital called Kemo Aga (Master Chemo) which is explained the treatment through music. And she shot a video of song at the hospital room.

Here is the lyrics of the song

KEMO AGA -Master Chemo

Ah ah ah Master Chemo
Sevim called me, immediately sent a doctor
As if she sensed
God sent an angel to me
We quit the road Arnavutköy
Me and my son 9 years old
Do you have a hope of course, huh?
Tell me Master Chemo
We went off helter-skelter
Master Chemo such contempt

Hair feathers do not like it, do not pity
It doesn't allow to talk,do lay down and raufens

You will drown while you sleep

Doctors said at that time
Come on, girl lying on the table
He did a deep cleaningto me

If Meltem not wrapped, but not Meltem

We were surely hungry
We went off helter-skelter
Me and my son 9 years old
Do you have a course hope ha
Master chemo penalty gives
Then you will expect
If you believe him
Life returns
God forbid lack

Kemo Aga

 

Sev 1995 Turkey

''This is an article concerning Arzu Ece, I would appreciate it if you never used her article as a ground to start arguments! ''

You probably forget that you always use Cyprus' articles as a ground to dictate that Cyprus established some political descriminations against Turkish-Cypriots...............

You seem very ridiculous person finally.........What happened, do you have a selective memory??

Turn first to yourself.........

Here is the translation of Sev (1995)

Love
With all your heart, love
An eternal world will exist with love
Love
Don't you stop, love
Love will give meaning to your life
Just forget the whole world and try once
Come on, come sing me a song
Fly to the future with me with this song
Come, come even if there is no dream inside
Love, love is with you

GET WELL SOON ARZU

Her beauty remains the same, doesn't matter she lost her hair. With this energy and optimistic fight against her illness, I have not doubt she is going to recover very soon.

"Callous" means showing know concern for the feelings of others!

And this one, ''dear'' Angelic, suits perfectly to you also.

@ Botox_ reloaded

Arzu has not passed away, she is just sick and getting treatment. So I hope that there will be a long time before anyone needs to say RIP after her.

Many singers who are in good health would not pose for a photographer without proper make-up. Arzu has great courage to record this video in her sick bed, without proper recording conditions and probably just a draft version of the music. I'm sure the song will sound much better when she fully recovers and records it again in a studio with a good orchestra.

Get well soon Arzu..

Sad news!!! Let the God help her!!


@James Betencourt

So you don't know what it means??? and you don't care???
How very awful!

"Callous" means showing know concern for the feelings of others! Make a note of it ;)

I don´t even know what´s the meaning of "callous"...so I don´t care...


Very sad news, hope she makes a full recovery very soon :) (L)


@James Betencourt

The real question is, Why do we have so many callous "so-called humans" like you in the world???? THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION!

Why are you so callous???

Imo these sorts of things need to be shared with people. The more people hear about issues like Cancer the more they are likely to care about it, and want to help the cause. By telling everybody about the disease, she's only encouraging more people to help and give towards the cause, and helping those people out there who already have it. I think what shes doing is fantastic and she has every right to share it with the world.


James Betencourt [45719]

I only say that because this is the kind of things that belongs to your self not to be share to the rest of the world...Really strange. It´s not important to know about it!
