Paroles et traduction Farazi V Kayra - Emekli Kahvesi

Emekli Kahvesi

İnatla bitmeyen bütün yokuşların ta en başında
Öyle mutlu yürüyorsun ki alkışlanır ayakta
Elinde var birkaç lira, çevir avuçlarında
Sokağa girmeden bir çay mermer avlularda

Rengi atmış evlerin yarı açık camından
Şarkılar sızar bir rivayet anlatan
Şarkı der ki bak bekleyince kimse gelmez
Öyle maziyiz ki kimse görmez

Kaldırımlar, altı katlı hanlar
Önlerinde yevmiye bekleyen yorgun hamallar
O dakika istedim heykelin dikilsin
Heykelin dikilsin istedim sen ses etmedin; Paydos

Tüfeklerle vur balonlar
Sokaklarda oynanan bütün küçük kumarlar
Öyle kalabalık hem de yoksunuz ki
Her şekilde buluyoruz lüzumsuz teselli

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Atletin beyaz, cebinde çakmak
Pantolonla gömlek aynı yerde sızmışın dün akşam
Kim bilir ne laflar aynı ses tonuyla
Kim bilir kaçıncı kez? Yine de olsun

Emekli kahvesinde tüm neşenle gez dolan
Emekli kahvesinde on şakayla durma yaşlan
Ve varsa bul getir bir tane çözülmemiş bulmaca
Bir nota, eski dilde su, unutma jargonu

Aynı cepte, yirmi yıldır aynı cepte
Lastik, aspirin, tarak, pil ve toplu iğne
Hatırla sen de gördün elbet işte takma dişler
Dün dününde kalmaz aslanım, bugünü dişler

Bana mı denk gelir? Ben mi görmek isterim?
Her yokuş başında tanıdığım bu aynı sima
Karışsın aklım elli yerden komaz yeminle
Yeter ki sen devam et, bir yerlerde gülmeye!

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem
Bahane tüm bu gölgeler, belki bahane günler
İnceden zamanı geldi utandığıma hak ver

Ah bir bilsen, dilim dönse neler diyecem
En amiyane tabir hangisiyse onunla gelecem

Retirement Coffeehouse

At the very start of all those unending uphill roads,
You walk so happily, it's worthy of applause,
A few liras in your hand, turn them over in your palms,
A tea in the marble courtyards before entering the street.

From the half-open windows of faded houses,
Songs leak, narrating a legend,
The song says, look, nobody comes when you wait,
We are such a past that nobody sees.

Sidewalks, six-story inns,
Tired porters waiting for their daily wages in front of them,
At that moment, I wanted a statue to be erected,
I wanted a statue to be erected, you didn't say a word; Time for break.

Shoot the balloons with rifles,
All the little gambles played on the streets,
You are so crowded and poor,
We find unnecessary consolation in every way.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

White undershirt, lighter in your pocket,
You passed out in your pants and shirt in the same place last night,
Who knows what words, in the same tone of voice,
Who knows how many times? But still, let it be.

Wander around the retirement coffeehouse with all your joy,
Don't stop at ten jokes in the retirement coffeehouse, grow old,
And if you have one, bring an unsolved puzzle,
A note, water in an old language, don't forget the jargon.

In the same pocket, in the same pocket for twenty years,
Rubber, aspirin, comb, battery and safety pin,
Remember you saw dentures too, don't worry,
Yesterday doesn't stay in its yesterday, my lion, today bites.

Is it my turn? Do I want to see?
This same face I know at the beginning of every hill,
My mind will be confused from fifty places, I swear it won't bother me,
Just keep going, laughing somewhere!

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
All these shadows are excuses, maybe the days are excuses,
Subtly, it's time you agreed that I'm ashamed.

Ah, if you only knew, if my tongue could turn, what I would say,
I will come with the most colloquial expression,
