Dertli Bir Yoldaş

Ey garip gönüllüm dertli yoldaşım
Niye belli değil baharın kışın
Varmıdır sormazlar ekmeğin aşın
Zengin isen ya bey ya paşa
Fukaraysan ya aptal derler ya cingan haşa
Kim onun halını sormuş demezler
Cahilin gözünde hormuş demezler
Garipler kim iş vermiş demezler
Zengin isen ya bey derler ya paşa
Fukaraysan ya aptal derler ya cingan haşa
Sende bir insansın insanlar gibi
Haksız kazancınan sürmedin demi
İnsanlığın kuralları böyle
Zengin isen ya bey derler ya paşa
Fukaraysan ya aptal derler ya cingan haşa
O hakkı tanımaz kul kandıranlar
İnsanlığın kıymetini ne anlar
İnsanlık varlıklar olan sananlar
Zengin isen ya bey derler ya paşa
Fukaraysan ya aptal derler ya cingan haşa
Boş durmak günahtır çalışmak sevap
Çalış ne duruyon sende bir şey yap
Çoğalır yoldaşın gör nice ahbap
Zengin isen ya bey derler ya paşa
Fukaraysan ya aptal derler ya cingan haşa
Garibimin engin ol uyma cahile
Şeytanın kazancı nafile hile
Sana ad takarlar üzülme bile
Zengin isen ya bey derler ya paşa
Fukaraysan ya aptal derler ya cingan haşa

Dertli Bir Yoldaş

Oh, my dear friend with a sorrowful heart,
Why is it that spring and winter are not clear?
No one asks if you have bread or sustenance,
If you are rich, they call you a lord or a pasha,
If you are poor, they call you an idiot or a gypsy, God forbid,
Who asks about their condition?
They don't see them as humans,
They don't ask who gives the poor work,
If you are rich, they call you a lord or a pasha,
If you are poor, they call you an idiot or a gypsy, God forbid,
You are also a human being like everyone else,
Haven't you earned your sustenance without injustice?
These are the rules of humanity,
If you are rich, they call you a lord or a pasha,
If you are poor, they call you an idiot or a gypsy, God forbid,
Those who deceive people do not recognize this right,
They do not understand the value of humanity,
Those who believe that humans are material beings,
If you are rich, they call you a lord or a pasha,
If you are poor, they call you an idiot or a gypsy, God forbid,
Laziness is a sin, work is a virtue,
Work, don't hesitate, do something yourself,
Your friends will increase, see how many companions you have,
If you are rich, they call you a lord or a pasha,
If you are poor, they call you an idiot or a gypsy, God forbid,
My poor friend, be patient and do not follow the ignorant,
The devil's earnings are futile tricks,
They will give you names, but don't be sad,
If you are rich, they call you a lord or a pasha,
If you are poor, they call you an idiot or a gypsy, God forbid.
