NATURAL SYMBOLS IN TATAR LONG FOLK SONGS THAT SUBJECTED ON HOMELAND YEARNING ABSTRACT The beginning of the literature of the Kazan Tatar Turks, who have been living in Idil-Ural region which has been a very important area for the history of Turkish civilization until today, is based on the Orhun Monuments. In Tatar literature, a wide variety of literary crops such as epic, fairy tale, folk tale, myth and folk songs have been given, and these should be accepted as important records that have witnessed the past. In this study, Tatar folk songs on the theme of longing are discussed. The deep content of Tatar folk songs should be kept separate from other folk literature products in order to keep them close to the hearts of the people. Throughout history, the Tatar nation's literature has remained below various political-ideological influences, and thus the emotions in its folk songs are always deep, valuable and sacred. The main aim of this study, which is based on text, is to explain the symbolization of nature related beings in long folk songs with deep feelings of Tatar people. Yearning ballads on this purpose and then transferred to the Latin alphabet from Cyrillic alphabet were translated into Turkish. The current situation of these studies was asked to explain the works of Tatar folk songs and the qualities of these studies. The structure of the Tatar folk songs were examined and the general structure of the folk songs were evaluated. The symbolization of the elements related to nature in folk songs has been investigated and these symbolizations are explained with examples from the folk songs. The study also focuses on literary arts and the reflection of the philosophy of sufism and the philosophy of existentialism on the songs.
