Paroles et traduction Sehabe - Katafalk

Katafalk

Eskiden iyiydim, iyi biriydim
Atıyordu kalbim, diriydi
Şendim şakraktım, hayat matraktı
Artık psikolojisi bozuk bir ahmaktır!

Bir abim vardı
Canı sağ olsun, neden darıldığımı anlamadı hiç
Hayallerimiz vardı; yanlış düşünmüşüm
Meğerse hepsi hayallerimmiş...

Hayat İstanbul′da zor, ateş pahası
Müzik karın doyurmaz, kal beş parasız
La oğlum kendine faydan yok
Vatana olsun hadi git tecili boz

Diyarbakır Jandarma Bölge Komutanlığı
Gitmediğin doğu, hani o utandığın
Er ve Erbaşla dolup taştığı
Hani parasını verip de kaçtığın

Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse anlatmasın!
Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse bana beni anlatmasın!

Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse anlatmasın!
Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse bana beni anlatmasın!
Azrail bile yokladı ama sen sormadın hâlimi
Azrail bile yokladı ama sen...

Bir albay iki başçavuş muvazzaf
Personel şubem muazzam
Diyarbakır güzel alıştım harbi
"Navete çiya?, Çavani başi?"

Görev geldi demedim: "Dursam iyi"
Mardin Kızıltepe, Nusaybin
Bismil, Çermik, Çüngüş hepsine gittim
Hazro, Kulp, Lice, Silvan, Sur

Sonra patladı Suruç, patladı bomba!
Patladı terör, farklı piyonlar!
Babam diyor:
"Savaşta kaldın, oğlum terör yavaşlamaz mı?"

JÖH'e üç teğmen geldi, devreydi
Operasyon şehit haberi susar mı?
Ve de bu onun ilk göreviydi...
Şafak saymaktan utandım

Sonra Muhammed uzmanın evi
Eşine söyleyeceğiz kalbim n′olur dayan!
Güya psikolog diye götürdüler
Daha merdivende başladım ağlamaya...

Sustum... Bağıramıyorum!
Aynada kendimi tanıyamıyorum
Adım Barış buna umut mu denir?
Biri vardı o da unuttu beni

Burada yedi kere şehit töreni oldu
Birer, üçer, beşer mi dersin?
Anılar bazen acı olur
Hafızandan geçer mi dersin?

Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse anlatmasın!
Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse bana beni anlatmasın!

Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse anlatmasın!
Bana kimse... Bana kimse...
Bana kimse bana beni anlatmasın!
Azrail bile yokladı ama sen sormadın hâlimi
Azrail bile yokladı ama sen...

Catafalque

I used to be good, a good person
My heart was beating, it was alive
I used to laugh and joke, life was a blast
Now I'm just a fool with messed up psychology!

I had a brother
Bless his soul, he never understood why I was upset
We had dreams; I guess I was wrong
Turns out they were just my dreams...

Life in Istanbul is hard, everything's expensive
Music doesn't fill your stomach, you're left penniless
Yo man, you're useless
Go serve your country, break your deferment

Diyarbakir Gendarmerie Regional Command
The east you never went to, the one you were ashamed of
Overflowing with privates and NCOs
The one you paid to avoid

Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me!
Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me about myself!

Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me!
Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me about myself!
Even the Angel of Death came knocking, but you didn't ask how I was
Even the Angel of Death came knocking, but you...

One colonel, two sergeants major on active duty
My personnel department is amazing
Diyarbakir is beautiful, I'm used to the war
"Where are you going?, Head spinning?"

When duty called, I didn't say: "I better stay"
Mardin Kızıltepe, Nusaybin
Bismil, Çermik, Çüngüş I went to them all
Hazro, Kulp, Lice, Silvan, Sur

Then Suruç exploded, the bomb exploded!
Terror exploded, different pawns!
My father says:
"You're stuck in war, son, won't the terror slow down?"

Three lieutenants came to the Special Forces, they were rookies
Operation, will the news of martyrs ever stop?
And this was his first mission...
I was ashamed to count the dawns

Then there was Specialist Muhammed's house
We have to tell his wife, my heart, please endure!
They supposedly took me as a psychologist
I started crying on the stairs...

I'm silent... I can't scream!
I don't recognize myself in the mirror
My name is Barış, is that what you call hope?
There was someone, but she forgot me too

There have been seven martyr ceremonies here
Would you say one, three, or five at a time?
Memories can sometimes be bitter
Do you think they'll ever leave your mind?

Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me!
Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me about myself!

Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me!
Don't anyone... Don't anyone...
Don't anyone tell me about myself!
Even the Angel of Death came knocking, but you didn't ask how I was
Even the Angel of Death came knocking, but you...
