Paroles et traduction Levent Yüksel - Tuzum Kuru

Tuzum Kuru

Çilemi sen çektin
Yoksulluğumu sen
Şimdi tuzum kuru
Gel gözümün nuru
Ah yazık ettin
Bekleyecektin
Şimdi tuzum kuru
Gel gözümün nuru
Para pul mal yoktu
Edebiyat çoktu
Çatal karam karım
Aç biilaç kısrağım
Vaziyet çok zordu
Bizi memleket yordu
Şimdi tuzum kuru
Gel gözümün nuru
Bir acele gittin
Bir diplomaya bittin
İki de çocuk ettin ah
Çalgıcıdan da adam olurmuş bak farfaram
Bu devir başka devir ettiğine yan

My Salt is Dry

You suffered my torment
My poverty, you
Now my salt is dry
Come, light of my eyes
Oh, what a shame
You should have waited
Now my salt is dry
Come, light of my eyes
There was no money, no wealth
But there was much literature
My hair was pitch black
My mare was lean and hungry
The situation was dire
The country wore us down
Now my salt is dry
Come, light of my eyes
You left in such a hurry
You were so eager for a diploma
And then you had two children, oh
Even a musician can make a man of himself, my grandfather said
This is a different time, what you did was a mistake
