Paroles et traduction Selda Bağcan - Zam Zam

Zam Zam

Pahalılık alev gömlek giyemezsin demedim mi?
Her öğünde soğan ekmek yiyemezsin demedim mi?
Dünden pahalı bugünkü
Zamlar tükenmiyor çünkü
Dar gelirim sen bu yükü çekemezsin demedim mi?

Elin hayvar senin turşu
Buna koyamazsın karşı
Kimi eğri kimi doğru seçemezsin demedim mi?
Çimen toyu harç içinde
Alem her cü Merc içinde
İşçi kardaş borç içinde yüzemezsin demedim mi?

Akarsuyum bu ne illet
Durma sazım gene anlat
Soy gardaşım böyle millet bulamazsın demedim mi?
Soy gardaşım böyle millet bulamazsın demedim mi?

Darling, didn't I tell you that you can't afford a luxurious lifestyle?
Honey, didn't I warn you that you can't eat onion bread every day?
Today is more expensive than yesterday,
Because there is no end to price increases,
My love, didn't I say your meager income can't handle this burden?

You're having pickles when they're having caviar,
You can't complain about that,
Didn't I tell you that you can't choose between right and wrong?
The wedding feast is filled with greens,
The world is drowning in debt,
My hardworking love, didn't I say you can't survive under this debt?

My darling, what's this misfortune?
Don't stop, my love, keep telling your story,
My sweetheart, didn't I say you won't find a nation like this?
My beloved, didn't I say you won't find a nation like this?
