Lyrics and translation Kıvırcık Ali - Nerdesin

Nerdesin

Istırabı gülsuyuna bandılar
Istırabı gülsuyuna bandılar
Gülüm seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ayrılığı altın tasta sundular

Ölüm seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ölüm seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ayrılığı altın tasta sundular
Ölüm seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ölüm seni arar oldum nerdesin

Ardı olmayanın derdi çok olur
Ardı olmayanın derdi çok olur
Leşini yemeye kurdu çok olur
Ömrü sürgün geçer yurdu çok olur

Elim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Elim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ömrü sürgün geçer yurdu çok olur
Elim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ah köyüm seni arar oldum nerdesin

Memleketim Maraş Emekçi adım
Memleketim Maraş Emekçi adım
Yoruldu gençliğim yoruldu tadım
Kendimi kimseye anlatamadım

Dilim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Dilim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Kendimi kimseye anlatamadım
Dilim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Dilim seni arar oldum nerdesin

Where Are You

They soaked the agony in rose water
They have soaked the agony in rose water
My rose, I've been looking for you, where are you
They have served separation in a golden bowl

I've been looking for you, death, where are you
I've been looking for you, death, where are you
They served separation on a golden platter
I've been looking for you, death, where are you
I've been looking for you, death, where are you

Those without a lineage, their troubles are many
Those without a lineage, their troubles are many
Vultures are plenty to feast on their corpses
Their lives are spent in exile, they have many homelands

My hand has been looking for you, where are you
My hand has been looking for you, where are you
Lives are spent in exile, homelands are aplenty
My hand has been looking for you, where are you
Ah, my village, I've been looking for you, where are you

My country is Maraş, Emekçi is my name
My country is Maraş, Emekçi is my name
My youth has grown tired, my zest has faded
I have been unable to make anyone understand me

My tongue has been looking for you, where are you
My tongue has been looking for you, where are you
I have been unable to make anyone understand me
My tongue has been looking for you, where are you
My tongue has been looking for you, where are you
