Paroles et traduction Orhan Gencebay - Meyhaneci (Musalla Taşı)

Meyhaneci (Musalla Taşı)

Bir gün içki dolu vücudum
Musalla tasina konursa
Sen bilirsin meyhaneci onu nasil sevdigimi
Namazim kilinir da
Merhumu nasil bilirsiniz diye sorulursa
Tek suçu aska inanmakti
Iyi biliriz dersin degil mi
Dertliyim derdim dünyadan büyük
Meyhane evim sarhoslar dert arkadasim
Elimde sigaram dumani da bir baska yük
Anam da babam da sensin sarap
Meyhaneci bir tek sirdasim
Geçti artik degil mi bizim bizim
Nesemiz her seyimiz
Hayat izdirap felek kahpe kahpe degil mi
Her yudumda damla damla artan kederimiz
Gün gelir de meyhaneyi mezar yapar degil mi

Tavern Keeper (Coffin Stone)

One day my body filled with drink
May be confined to the coffin stone
You know, tavern keeper, how much I loved it
My prayers may be performed
And if asked how the deceased was known
The only crime was believing in love
You would say we know him well, wouldn't you?
I am in anguish, my sorrow greater than the world
The tavern is my home, drunkards my confidants
A cigarette in my hand, its smoke heavy
My mother, my father, my wine, you
Tavern keeper, my only comrade
Isn't it over, my love?
Our breaths, our everything
Life is torture, fate is cruel, isn't it?
With every sip, our sorrow grows
May the day come when the tavern becomes a grave
