Paroles et traduction Anıl Piyancı - İnan İsterdim

İnan İsterdim

İnan ki isterdim hiç yorulmamak koşup da
Dünya′da herkes için eşit olsun koşullar
Görmek isterdim işlerimi yolunda
Ve sevdiğim herkesi, eşi-dostu kolumda

Yanımda isterdim ölümsüzlük olsa
Geri gelse dedem, sarılıp da gönül gözüm doysa
Severdi sigarayı, içse de dokunmasa hiç ona
Dağlarında sapa sağlam bi' çoban (ah)

Olarak kalsaydı Aydın′lı Efe
Aman ormancı deyip de saydırdı gene
Atıp naraları, açıp da kollarını
Büyüttü kaç torun cesaret yollarını

Gösterdi hepimize, bugünse dinlerdim tekrâr
Cenazene gelemedim, dillendi etraf
Konuştun rüyalarıma gelip de benimle
"Piyancı soyadını iyi taşı evlat"

İsterim yok olmasın kültür
Çoçuklar oyun için inemiyo' sokaklara, ürküp
Verildi geçmişte haksız yere kaç kere
Halkını savunan ozanlara sürgün

İnan ki isterdim, tavrım kesin
Ama pislendi insanlar, halkım keriz
Ülkem bi' çöplük değil, kalsın temiz
Nasıl olur körfeze dönüşür altın deniz ha?

İnan isterdim ama yok çaresi
Binlerce insan var dünyada çaresiz
Tek seçenek var, gitmek burdan
Ama korkakça davranmaksa daha rezil

Gerçek anlamıyla özgürlüğü tatmak
Gördüğünü saklar bu beyin ama gördüğüne kanma
Kör düğüme bağlar hayatın gidişatı
Kontrol dışındadır hep öldüğümüz anlar

İnan ki isterdim her sabah
Keyifle kalkmak yataktan, güne merhaba
Diyip de başlamak, güneşli her taraf
Ama öyle değil gazeteler kan, revan

Moralim bozulur ve sayfalar kapalı kalır hep
İşimiz güçümüz var, kafa mı kalır ey?
Diyip de kaçarız, sorundan uzaklaşırız
Sonunda kucaklaşırız, olur da bunaklaşırız

Bize de sahip çık tanrım, burada hâin çok arttı
Benimse hâlim yok artık
Bu çağı tarih not aldı
İnsan ırkına şu son yüzyıl bariz tokattır

Ve bunu gerçekten hak ettik biz, maket miyiz?
Bak bi′ kukla ordusu gibi de var ipimiz
Kalitemiz gayet uygun köle olmak için
Yine de durmaz hep karalar kalemimiz

Talebimiz ne ki söyle haremimiz
Büyük mü olsun? Hayır dar evimiz
Talebeyiz ve şu an istediğim dediğim
İnandığım her şeyin yıkıldığı karedeyiz

İnan isterdim ama yok çaresi
Binlerce insan var dünyada çaresiz
Tek seçenek var, gitmek burdan
Ama korkakça davranmaksa daha rezil

İnan isterdim ama yok çaresi
Binlerce insan var dünyada çaresiz
Tek seçenek var, gitmek burdan
Ama korkakça davranmaksa daha rezil

I Wish I Could Believe

Believe me, I wish I could run without ever getting tired
I wish the conditions in this world were equal for everyone
I'd like to see my affairs in order
And all my loved ones, friends and family, by my side

I wish immortality existed by my side
So my grandfather could come back, and I could hug him and fill my heart's eyes
He loved cigarettes, I wish they wouldn't harm him at all
A sturdy shepherd in his mountains (ah)

If only Efe from Aydın could have stayed that way
He would have told them off again, calling them "foresters"
Shouting his cries, opening his arms wide
He raised so many grandchildren, showing them the paths of courage

He showed us all, and today I would listen again
I couldn't come to your funeral, the talk spread around
You came to my dreams and spoke to me
"Carry the Piyancı surname well, my son"

I wish our culture wouldn't disappear
Children are scared to go down to the streets to play
How many times in the past were unjust exiles given
To the bards who defended their people

Believe me, I wish it were different, my stance is clear
But people have become dirty, my people are fools
My country is not a garbage dump, let it stay clean
How can a golden sea turn into a gulf?

I wish it were different, but there's no remedy
There are thousands of people in the world who are helpless
There's only one option, to leave this place
But acting cowardly is even more disgraceful

To truly taste freedom
This brain hides what it sees, but don't believe what you see
The course of life ties itself in a knot
The moments we die are always out of our control

Believe me, I wish every morning
I could wake up from bed with joy, saying hello to the day
And start like that, with sunshine everywhere
But it's not like that, the newspapers are full of blood and gore

My morale gets low and the pages stay closed
We have work to do, how can we keep our minds clear?
We say that and run away, distancing ourselves from the problem
In the end, we embrace, and maybe we become senile

Take care of us too, God, the number of traitors has increased here
I have no more strength left
History has taken note of this era
This last century is a heavy slap in the face for the human race

And we really deserved this, are we just models?
Look, we have strings like a puppet army
Our quality is quite suitable to be slaves
Yet our pens never stop writing in black

What is our demand, tell us, our harem
Should it be big? No, our house is small
We are students and right now, what I want is what I say
We are in the frame where everything I believe in is collapsing

I wish it were different, but there's no remedy
There are thousands of people in the world who are helpless
There's only one option, to leave this place
But acting cowardly is even more disgraceful

I wish it were different, but there's no remedy
There are thousands of people in the world who are helpless
There's only one option, to leave this place
But acting cowardly is even more disgraceful
