Lyrics and translation Cem Adrian - Çeke Çeke

Çeke Çeke

Çeke çeke ben bu dertten ölürüm
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama
Ali'nin yoluna serim' veririm
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama
Ali'nin yoluna serim' veririm
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama

Bu yurt senin değil, ya dost, konargöçersin
Körpe kuzulardan nasıl geçersin?
Ali'nin dolusun' bir gün içersin
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama
Ali'nin dolusun' bir gün içersin
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama

Ilgıt ılgıt oldu, akıyor kanım
Pir yoluna kurban verilir serim
Benim derdim bana yeter, efendim
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama
Benim derdim bana yeter efendim
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama

Abdal Pir Sultan'ım, ya dost, deftere yazar
Hilebaz yâr ile olur mu pazar?
Pir melhem çalmazsa yaralar azar
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama
Pir melhem çalmazsa yaralar azar
Seversen Ali'yi, değme yarama

Suffering Endlessly

Suffering endlessly, I will die from this pain,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.
I'd give my life for Ali's path,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.
I'd give my life for Ali's path,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.

This land isn't yours, my friend, you're a nomad,
How can you abandon these tender lambs?
One day you'll drink from Ali's cup,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.
One day you'll drink from Ali's cup,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.

Drop by drop, my blood flows,
My life is a sacrifice for the Pir's path,
My own pain is enough for me, my lord,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.
My own pain is enough for me, my lord,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.

I'm Abdal Pir Sultan, my friend, I write in the book,
Can there be a bargain with a deceitful lover?
If the Pir doesn't apply the balm, the wounds will fester,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.
If the Pir doesn't apply the balm, the wounds will fester,
If you love Ali, don't touch my wound.
