Lyrics and translation Cem Karaca - Oy Babo




Oy Babo
Oh Baby
Elim kolum kelepçeli
My hands and arms are shackled
Elim kolum kelepçeli
My hands and arms are shackled
Oy oy babo
Oh oh baby
Koltuk yumuşak ağa deli
The couch is soft, oh crazy
Vay babo vay vay
Oh baby oh oh
İnsan ol da ilme eğil
Be a human and strive for knowledge
İnsan gibi her şeyi bil
Know everything like a human
Vezir olan şehir değil
It's not the city that makes a vizier
Köy köy baba
It's the village, baby
Cehalet aklım uçurdu
Ignorance has blown my mind
Beni yerlere geçirdi hey
It has put me on the ground, hey
Muhtar anamı kaçırdı
The village leader kidnapped my mother
Ihıy gayrı babo ıhıy
Oh no, baby, oh no
Bu yol böyle gide gide
This path will continue to take us
Yerimiz yoktur dünyada
There's no place for us in the world
Kimi hoca kimi dede
Some are priests, some are grandfathers
Say say say say
Count, count, count, count
Yıkılacak yanlış giden
The wrong path will collapse
Yıkılacak yanlış giden
The wrong path will collapse
Bu işin bedeli neden hey?
Why the price for this, hey?
İnsanı insan eden huy babam huy
The nature of a person, my baby, makes them human
(Huy babam huy)
(Nature, my baby, nature)
Gel mahsuni çağlayalım
Come, Mahsuni, let's cry
Yönü dosta bağlayalım
Let's turn to our friends
Dövdün bari ağlayayım
You beat me, at least let me cry
Oy babo
Oh baby
Oy babo oy oy
Oh baby oh oh
Vay babo vay vay
Oh baby oh oh
