Rakı

Rakı (Turkish: Rakı, Greek: Ρακί or Ρακή or "Τσικουδιά"Ottoman Turkish: راقى, pronounced [ɾaˈkɯ]) is an unsweetened, anise-flavored Turkish alcoholic drink that is popular in Turkey, Greece, Turkic countries, and in the Balkan countries as an apéritif. It is often served with seafood or meze. It is similar to several other alcoholic beverages available around the Mediterranean and the Middle East, e.g. pastis, ouzo, sambuca, arak, Aragh Sagi and aguardiente.

Etymology

The term raki entered English from Turkish rakı. The word rakı is derived from the Arabic عرق [ʕaraq], meaning distilled, other variants being araka, araki, ariki.Araq means perspiration in Arabic, which is believed to metaphorically refer to condensation, which likely refers to the condensation that forms outside of the chilled glass, or the drop-by-drop manner in which rakı is distilled that is reminiscent of sweating, or possibly the phenomenon of unexpected sweating observed in individuals engaging in excessive rakı consumption.

    Duele Amarte

    by: Reik

    Me duele amarte,
    sabiendo que ya te perdi
    solo quedara la lluvia
    mojando mi llanto
    y me hablara de ti.
    Me duele amarte,
    los sueños que eran para ti,
    se pierden con cada palabra
    con cada momento que
    espere vivir.
    Me duele más
    imaginar que tu te vas
    y dejarás detrás de ti
    tu ausencia en mis brazos.
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    que ni tu sombra volverá
    para abrigar mi alma en pedazos.
    Chorus:
    Me duele amarte así
    hasta morir lanzándome a la nada
    viendote partir.
    Me duele aquel abril
    cuando te vi por
    ves primera y dije que
    eras para mi,
    Me duele amarte tanto.
    ohhh ummm
    Me duele amarte,
    los sueños que eran para ti
    se pierden con cada palabra
    con cada momento que
    espere vivir.
    Me duele más
    imaginar que tu te vas
    y dejarás detrás de ti
    tu ausencia en mis brazos.
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    que ni tu sombra volvera
    para abrigar mi alma en pedazos.
    Chorus:
    Me duele amarte así
    hasta morir lanzandome a la nada
    viendote partir.
    Me duele aquel abril
    cuando te vi por
    ves primera y dije que
    eras para mi,
    Me duele amarte tanto.
    ohhh ummm
