Yelek
Yelek (in Turkish; spelled jelek in Serbo-Croatian and Albanian) is the bodice or vest of a Ottoman female dress. The yelek is typically a sleeveless and collarless garment and usually has small pockets on the sides. Traditional yeleks are generally embroidered and made out of silk cloth as well as velvet and leather. During the Ottoman era, the yelek was a hip-length jacket or vest worn for warmth by both sexes. It could have long sleeves, short sleeves, or no sleeves, and often had a small standing collar. A shorter variant, the anteri (or "anteree", anterija) was also popular.

He was born in the African dawn and orphaned to the
land
So gentle in the eye he was as any woman's child
Repeat Afrika chorus
As he grew people told him, son , don't you trust
anyone
You learn how to trust a stone
This is not gentle and then it breaks those
Who never learned how to be alone
Repeat Afrika chorus
And so he walked in the fashion of his lands
Until at last he cried out
Can anybody hear me, hear me, hear the song in my heart
There's a song to be sung that can heal these broken
Let us sing and we'll walk through the dark
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Repeat Afrika chorus; move it up a half step or so and
