Lyrics and translation Cem Karaca - Oy Babo

Oy Babo

Elim kolum kelepçeli
Elim kolum kelepçeli
Oy oy babo
Koltuk yumuşak ağa deli
Vay babo vay vay
İnsan ol da ilme eğil
İnsan gibi her şeyi bil
Vezir olan şehir değil
Köy köy baba
Cehalet aklım uçurdu
Beni yerlere geçirdi hey
Muhtar anamı kaçırdı
Ihıy gayrı babo ıhıy
Bu yol böyle gide gide
Yerimiz yoktur dünyada
Kimi hoca kimi dede
Say say say say
Yıkılacak yanlış giden
Yıkılacak yanlış giden
Bu işin bedeli neden hey?
İnsanı insan eden huy babam huy
(Huy babam huy)
Gel mahsuni çağlayalım
Yönü dosta bağlayalım
Dövdün bari ağlayayım
Oy babo
Oy babo oy oy
Vay babo vay vay

Oh Baby

My hands and arms are shackled
My hands and arms are shackled
Oh oh baby
The couch is soft, oh crazy
Oh baby oh oh
Be a human and strive for knowledge
Know everything like a human
It's not the city that makes a vizier
It's the village, baby
Ignorance has blown my mind
It has put me on the ground, hey
The village leader kidnapped my mother
Oh no, baby, oh no
This path will continue to take us
There's no place for us in the world
Some are priests, some are grandfathers
Count, count, count, count
The wrong path will collapse
The wrong path will collapse
Why the price for this, hey?
The nature of a person, my baby, makes them human
(Nature, my baby, nature)
Come, Mahsuni, let's cry
Let's turn to our friends
You beat me, at least let me cry
Oh baby
Oh baby oh oh
Oh baby oh oh
