Paroles et traduction Nasihat feat. Misal - Gurbetçi Vatandaş

Gurbetçi Vatandaş

"Bu gecekonduların hepsini yıktırıcam
Hallediriz, yalnız halkı ürkütmemek lazım
Aralarında anlaşıp birlik olurlarsa işimiz zorlaşır
Defolup gitsinler, ben mi çağırdım onları köylerinden?
Ne işleri var İstanbulda?
(Ah, yeah, İstanbul!) Şehrin tüm güzelliğini bozdular"

Hem çalış didin emek ver adın olsun amele
Sonrada hor görsünler bakar mısın kadere?
Şükür bizde bağımlılık çekiyoruz habire
Manzaralı değil ama gireceksin kabire

Temizlikçi şoför, hamal ya da kapıcı
Nalyoncu, eskici, sokakta satıcı
Okulda hanfendi, mahallede bacı
Harbiden kal geldi, söylesene hacı

Babam çalışır habire anlınde ter
Annem evde dikişçi karnında ben
İnsanoğlu dünyada hancıdır sen
Hayat yükü ağır gelir sancılar bel

Yamalı önlüğüm, yırtık yakam
Karalı günlüğüm, sığdır yaşam
Kimseyi ayırmam ben gardaşam
Memeleket Sivas, Rize, Iğdır paşam

"Suçüstü" dediler secdede babam
Bayrağa yemin ama geçemeyen anam
En başta gelir ana terket satan
Herşey yalan ama gerçek Vatan

Çocuktuk tabi bizde özenirdik gurbete
Bizde bi′ türlü çözemezdik "yurt nere?"
Farklı hayatlar, aynı duygular
Nasihat ve Misal bu yolda buluştular

Çocuktuk tabi bizde özenirdik gurbete
Bizde bi' türlü çözemezdik "yurt nere?"
Farklı hayatlar, aynı duygular
Nasihat ve Misal bu yolda buluştular

Hala derler bana: "Aksanın bozuk"
Okulda yabancı çocuk bugün yaşım otuz
Gurbetde doğduk az hor görmediler
Ama bi′ kızlarını aldım, o da bana yeter

İşleri düştü boşa işçi çağırmadılar
Ayıya dayı misali bizi ağırladılar
Güler yüzlüydüler, sonra gülümsediler
Sözleriyle ve gözleriyle küçümsediler

"Hoşgeldiniz!" Buna inanmadık
Hikaye! Şikayet yok idare ettik kanmadık
İşiniz görüldü, yabancılar dışarı
Hemen unuttunuz harcanılan yılları gurbette

Terlikle ayaklarıda, kış aylarında
Dışarılarda iş aramada, annem babamla
Daha 18 yaşında anama, aşağılama;
Dediniz: "O eşarbı başına bağlama!"

Cevap vermeye yetmedi almanca
Boğazlarından sıcak yemek geçmedi aylarca
Zamanla düzen kuruldu ama güçtü anlaşmak
Hep gözlerde tüttü al sancak!

Çocuktuk tabi bizde özenirdik gurbete
Bizde bi' türlü çözemezdik "yurt nere?"
Farklı hayatlar, aynı duygular
Nasihat ve Misal bu yolda buluştular

Çocuktuk tabi bizde özenirdik gurbete
Bizde bi' türlü çözemezdik "yurt nere?"
Farklı hayatlar, aynı duygular
Nasihat ve Misal bu yolda buluştular

"Sen Türksün Almanya′da
Sen Türksün Almanya′da
Sen Türksün Almanya'da, Almanya′da
Sen Türksün!
Bunu anlat, bunu unutmamalıyım
Bunu anlat, bunu unutmamalıyım
Unutmamalıyım"

Immigrant Citizen

"I'll have all these shanty towns torn down
We'll take care of it, but we mustn't panic the locals
If they come together and unite, our job will be harder
Let them get lost, did I call them from their villages?
What business do they have in Istanbul?
(Oh, yeah, Istanbul!) They've spoiled all the beauty of the city"

Work hard, toil and labor, and be called a workman
And then let them despise you, can you believe it?
Thank goodness we're addicted to stuff all the time
The view isn't great, but you'll end up in the grave

Cleaner, driver, porter or doorman
Hawker, junkman, street vendor
Lady at school, sister in the neighborhood
It really came to this, tell me, man

My father works hard, sweat on his brow
My mother sews at home, me in her womb
Man is an innkeeper in the world, you see
The burden of life is heavy, pain in the back

My patched apron, my torn collar
My stained diary, fit in life
I don't discriminate, my friend
My country is Sivas, Rize, Iğdır, my lord

"Caught in the act" they said, my father in prostration
Oath to the flag but my mother can't get through
First comes mother, abandon the traitor
Everything's a lie, but the homeland is real

We were children, of course, we too yearned for foreign lands
We couldn't figure out, "where is home?"
Different lives, same feelings
Nasihat and Misal met on this path

We were children, of course, we too yearned for foreign lands
We couldn't figure out, "where is home?"
Different lives, same feelings
Nasihat and Misal met on this path

They still tell me: "Your accent is bad"
Foreigner at school, today I'm thirty
We were born in a foreign country, they didn't spare the insults
But I took one of their daughters, that's enough for me

When the jobs dried up, they didn't call for workers any more
They welcomed us like bears, exploited us
They were smiling, then they sneered
With their words and eyes, they belittled us

"Welcome!" We didn't believe it
Story! No complaints, we didn't give in
Your job's done, foreigners out!
You quickly forgot the years spent in foreign lands

In slippers, their feet cold in winter
Outside looking for work, with my mother and father
Only 18 years old to my mother, humiliation;
You said: "Don't put that headscarf on your head!"

German wasn't enough to answer
No hot food passed their lips for months
In time, order was restored, but it was hard to understand
The red flag always smoked in our eyes!

We were children, of course, we too yearned for foreign lands
We couldn't figure out, "where is home?"
Different lives, same feelings
Nasihat and Misal met on this path

We were children, of course, we too yearned for foreign lands
We couldn't figure out, "where is home?"
Different lives, same feelings
Nasihat and Misal met on this path

"You are Turkish in Germany
You are Turkish in Germany
You are Turkish in Germany, in Germany
You are Turkish!
Tell it, don't forget it
Tell it, don't forget it
Don't forget it"
