Paroles et traduction Cem Çelebi - Ecel Elinden

Ecel Elinden

Dünya umuruna meylini verme
Sen de kurtulmazsın ecel elinden
Ecel elinden
"Ben filanım" deyi göğsünü germe
Göğsünü germe
Sen de kurtulmazsın ecel elinden
Ecel elinden
Hani Meryem, hani onun oğlu İsa?
Onun oğlu İsa?
Elinde ejderha olurdu asa
Polat Kavmi ile cenk eden Musa
O da kurtulmadı ecel elinden
Ecel elinden
İskender de gitti, âlemi gezdi
Âlemi gezdi
Yunus balık ile deryayı yüzdü
Zaloğlu Rüstem′in tahtını bozdu
O da kurtulmadı ecel elinden
Ecel elinden
Eydür Derviş Yunus din ile iman
Din ile iman
Tacı, tahtı yel gö-türdü Süleyman
Lokman da derdine bulmadı derman
O da kurtulmadı ecel elinden
Ecel elinden
O da kurtulmadı ecel elinden
Ecel elinden

Death's Hand

My dear, do not be attached to worldly matters,
You too will not be spared by the hand of death,
Death's hand.
Do not boast "I am so-and-so" and puff out your chest,
Do not boast,
You too will not be spared by the hand of death,
Death's hand.
Where is Mary, where is her son Jesus?
Her son Jesus?
He held a serpent as a staff,
Moses who fought with the people of Pharaoh,
He too could not escape the hand of death,
Death's hand.
Alexander too departed, having conquered the world,
Having conquered the world,
Jonah sailed the seas in a fish's belly,
He overthrew the throne of Zal's son Rostam,
He too could not escape the hand of death,
Death's hand.
Says the dervish Yunus, with faith and devotion,
With faith and devotion,
Solomon's crown and throne were carried away by the wind,
And Luqman found no cure for his ailments,
He too could not escape the hand of death,
Death's hand.
He too could not escape the hand of death,
Death's hand.
