Turkish Lyrics (Tin Tin, Ekinim Harmonim Yok)

Does anybody happen to have the Turkish lyrics to the above 2 songs.
Tin Tin (Tini Mini Hanim?)
Ekinim Harmonim Yok might be one of those Turkish American songs--I don't know. Marko Melkon sang it, but I don't know who wrote it.
It goes sort of like this:
Ekinim Harmonim Yok
Ellim Defder Manim Yok
I don't know Turkish, so that could be way off.
Thanks

hi jonathan,

"şeftali ağaçları" (peach trees) seems to be the official name for the song you called tin tin tini mini hanim. it is claimed to be a song from sinop, a western black sea town. (i was surprised to see that it is a folk song actually. i thought it was a "kanto" from early 20th century). i couldn't find the other song unfortunately.


şeftali ağaçları
türlü çiçek başları
yaktı yandırdı beni
yarin hilal kaşlan

tin tin tini mini hanım
seni seviyor canım

bahçelerde kereviz
biz kereviz yemeyiz
bize sinoplu derler
biz güzeli severiz

tin tin tini mini hanım
seni seviyor canım

bahçelerde ıtrışah
boyu uzun kendi şah
iki gönül bir olsa
ayıramaz padişah

tin tin tini mini hanım
seni seviyor canım
