Paroles et traduction Ahmet Kaya - Yorgun Demokrat

Yorgun Demokrat

Karanlık yollardan geçtik
Zehir gibi sular içtik
Bir yanımızda ölüm
Bir yanımızda yar sevdik
Bir değil bin bir kere
Sırat köprüsünden geçtik
Cehennem denen illetin
Taa göğsünü deldik geçtik
Bu yolda dönenler oldu
Mum gibi sönenler oldu
Yar göğsüne baş komadan
Vurulup düşenler oldu
Bu yolda dönenler oldu
Mum gibi sönenler oldu
Yar göğsüne baş komadan
Vurulup düşenler oldu
Bir sen kaldın geride
Bir sen kaldın geride
Ah akıp gidiyor hayat
Yüreğim anlıyor seni
Artık susma Yorgun Demokrat
Ah akıp gidiyor hayat
Yüreğim anlıyor seni
Artık susma Yorgun Demokrat
Şarkılar küsmüş dudağa
Ömründe gecikmiş hasat
Karışmış çoluk çocuğa
Geçim derdinde demokrat
İçlenir hatırladıkça
İzlerini o günlerin
Düşe kalka bata çıka
Yaşadığı o depremin
Bu yolda dönenler oldu
Mum gibi sönenler oldu
Yar göğsüne baş komadan
Vurulup düşenler oldu
Bu yolda dönenler oldu
Mum gibi sönenler oldu
Yar göğsüne baş komadan
Vurulup düşenler oldu
Bir sen kaldın geride
Bir sen kaldın geride
Ah akıp gidiyor hayat
Yüreğim anlıyor seni
Artık susma Yorgun Demokrat
Ah akıp gidiyor hayat
Yüreğim anlıyor seni
Artık susma Yorgun Demokrat

Weary Democrat

We walked through dark roads
We drank poison-like waters
Death on one side
And our injured love on the other
Not once, not twice, but a thousand times
We crossed the bridge of Sirat
We pierced through the very chest
Of Hell's vile torment
There were those who turned their backs on this path
There were those who were extinguished like candles
There were those who fell, shot
Before they could rest their heads on their beloved's chest
There were those who turned their backs on this path
There were those who were extinguished like candles
There were those who fell, shot
Before they could rest their heads on their beloved's chest
You are the only one left behind
You are the only one left behind
Ah, life is slipping away
My heart understands you
It's time to speak up, Weary Democrat
Ah, life is slipping away
My heart understands you
It's time to speak up, Weary Democrat
Songs have abandoned my lips
A harvest delayed in my life
Tangled with the children and the crowd
A democrat, burdened by the need to survive
I grow heavy with memories
Of the footsteps of those days
Stumbling and falling, rising again
Surviving the earthquakes of life
There were those who turned their backs on this path
There were those who were extinguished like candles
There were those who fell, shot
Before they could rest their heads on their beloved's chest
There were those who turned their backs on this path
There were those who were extinguished like candles
There were those who fell, shot
Before they could rest their heads on their beloved's chest
You are the only one left behind
You are the only one left behind
Ah, life is slipping away
My heart understands you
It's time to speak up, Weary Democrat
Ah, life is slipping away
My heart understands you
It's time to speak up, Weary Democrat
