Paroles et traduction Selda Bağcan - Kaldı Kaldı

Kaldı Kaldı

Sordum çiftlik sahibine
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
O da sordu babasına
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
O da sordu babasına
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Kaldı da kime kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Sanki Süleyman'a kaldı
Dedim ki sen tanrı mısın
Dedi haşa ben bir kulum
Dedim bu haydutluk nedir
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Dedim bu haydutluk nedir
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Kaldı da kime kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Sanki Süleyman'a kaldı
Sordum hamalın halini
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Dedim sırtındaki semer
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Dedim sırtındaki semer
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Kaldı da kime kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Sanki Süleyman'a kaldı
Dedim bir gün hesap sorar
Bu millet hakkını arar
Yalancılık neye yarar
Dedi ki babamdan kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Kaldı da kime kaldı
Kaldı kaldı dünya kaldı
Sanki Süleyman'a kaldı

Kaldı Kaldı

I asked the landowner
He said it was passed down to him from his father
He also asked his father
He said he passed it down to him
He asked even his father
He said he passed it down to him
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
It stayed, but to whom?
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
As if it were left to Süleyman
I said, are you a god?
He said, God forbid, I am but a servant
I said, what is this banditry?
He said it was passed down to him
I said, what is this banditry?
He said it was passed down to him
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
It stayed, but to whom?
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
As if it were left to Süleyman
I asked a porter what is your situation
He said it was passed down to him
I asked about the saddle on his back
He said it was passed down to him
I asked about the saddle on his back
He said it was passed down to him
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
It stayed, but to whom?
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
As if it were left to Süleyman
I said that some day he will have to give an accounting
This nation will demand its rights
What good is your deceit?
He said it was passed down to him
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
It stayed, but to whom?
It stayed and stayed, the world stayed
As if it were left to Süleyman
