Paroles et traduction Cem Karaca & Dervişan - Mehmet'e Ağıt

Mehmet'e Ağıt

Hem okudum hem yazdım
Yalan dünya senden bezdim oy
Dağlar otağını gezdim
Yiten yavrum bulunur mu?
Dağlar otağını gezdim
Yiten yavrum bulunur mu?

Bak şu kaşa, bak şu göze
Yandı yürek döndü köze vay
Mehmet′imi bir top beze
Saran dünya değil misin?
Mehmet'imi bir top beze
Saran dünya değil misin?

El veriyor el veriyor
Orta direk bel veriyor ah
Döndüm baktım sağ yanıma
Mehmet′im can veriyor
Döndüm baktım sağ yanıma
Mehmet'im can veriyor
Döndüm baktım sağ yanıma
Mehmet'im can veriyor

A Lament for Mehmet

I read and I wrote
I am sick of you, treacherous world
I have wandered the mountains far and wide
Will I ever find my lost son?
I have wandered the mountains far and wide
Will I ever find my lost son?

Look at those eyes, look at those brows
My heart aches and burns like coal
You have wrapped my Mehmet in a shroud
Are you not the treacherous world?
You have wrapped my Mehmet in a shroud
Are you not the treacherous world?

Hand reaching out, hand reaching out
A beam in the middle, on the verge of breaking
As I turned and looked at his right side
Mehmet was breathing his last
As I turned and looked at his right side
Mehmet was breathing his last
As I turned and looked at his right side
Mehmet was breathing his last
