Paroles et traduction Ferhat Tunç - Oğul

Oğul

Şiir yazdım, ağıt yaktım adına
Duyamadın oğul, teller kapalı
Can verirdim bir tek nefes, kokuna
Saramadım oğul, kollar kapalı

Gün bayram olurdu, yanımda olsan
Bir gülücük, bir tek çiçekle gelsen
Gün bayram olurdu, yanımda olsan
Bir gülücük, bir tek çiçekle gelsen

Seni sarsam, sana canımı versem
Gelemedin oğul, yollar kapalı
Seni sarsam, sana canımı versem
Gelemedin oğul, yollar kapalı

Sen suç işlemedin, cana kıymadın
İnsanları sevdin, asla kırmadın
Türküler söyledin, zeybek oynadın
Koymadılar oğul, diller kapalı

Mahkemeler, hapisane yetmedi
Aylar, yıllar saya saya bitmedi
Mahkemeler, hapisane yetmedi
Aylar, yıllar saya saya bitmedi

Hücre derler buna, aklım yetmedi
Dua etsem, gayrı eller kapalı
Hücre derler buna, aklım yetmedi
Dua etsem, gayrı eller kapalı

Hücre derler buna, aklım yetmedi
Dua etsem, gayrı eller kapalı
Hücre derler buna, aklım yetmedi
Dua etsem, gayrı eller kapalı

Son

I wrote poetry, I mourned for you
You couldn't hear me, son, the strings are closed
I'd give my life for a single breath, your scent
I couldn't embrace you, son, my arms are closed

The day would be a feast, if you were with me
If you came with a smile, a single flower
The day would be a feast, if you were with me
If you came with a smile, a single flower

If I shook you, gave you my life
You couldn't come, son, the roads are closed
If I shook you, gave you my life
You couldn't come, son, the roads are closed

You committed no crime, you took no life
You loved people, you never broke them
You sang songs, you danced the zeybek
They wouldn't let you, son, their tongues are closed

Courts, prisons weren't enough
Months, years counting, didn't end
Courts, prisons weren't enough
Months, years counting, didn't end

They call this a cell, my mind couldn't grasp it
If I prayed, my hands were closed
They call this a cell, my mind couldn't grasp it
If I prayed, my hands were closed

They call this a cell, my mind couldn't grasp it
If I prayed, my hands were closed
They call this a cell, my mind couldn't grasp it
If I prayed, my hands were closed
