Paroles et traduction Ahmet Kaya - Demedim mi Haydar

Demedim mi Haydar

Biz dağlarda keklik idik
Şimdi bu çöplükte karga olduk
Bizim de boyumuzu aştı bu şehir
Yerlere serildik madara olduk
Bizim de boyumuzu aştı bu şehir
Yerlere serildik madara olduk
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi sana
Bu İstanbul yutar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi söyle
Bu şerefsiz geceler satar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi sana
Bu İstanbul yutar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi söyle
Bu şerefsiz geceler satar adamı
Biz umutlar yolcusuyduk
Rakı sofrasında bir meze olduk
Bizim de harcımız değildi sevmek
Yosmalar içinde kepaze olduk
Bizim de harcımız değildi sevmek
Yosmalar içinde kepaze olduk
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi sana
Bu İstanbul yutar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi söyle
Bu şerefsiz geceler satar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi sana
Bu İstanbul yutar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi söyle
Bu şerefsiz geceler satar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi sana
Bu İstanbul yutar adamı
Demedim mi Haydar demedim mi söyle
Bu şerefsiz geceler satar adamı

Demedim mi Haydar

We were partridges in the mountains
Now we are crows in this dump
This city has gotten too big for us
We've been brought down to the ground, humiliated
This city has gotten too big for us
We've been brought down to the ground, humiliated
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I tell you
This Istanbul will swallow you whole
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I say
These shameless nights will sell you out
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I tell you
This Istanbul will swallow you whole
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I say
These shameless nights will sell you out
We were travelers of hope
An appetizer on a raki table
Love was not for us
We've been made fools of by harlots
Love was not for us
We've been made fools of by harlots
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I tell you
This Istanbul will swallow you whole
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I say
These shameless nights will sell you out
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I tell you
This Istanbul will swallow you whole
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I say
These shameless nights will sell you out
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I tell you
This Istanbul will swallow you whole
Didn't I tell you Haydar, didn't I say
These shameless nights will sell you out
