Paroles et traduction Sokrat St - Dostum

Dostum

Yolu bulmam lazım, yolum yokuş
Kavgam kendimle, derde fetiş bu
Hep bi' bahane, hep bi' bahane
Dostum iyki yetiştin

Yolu bulmam lazım, yolum yokuş
Kavgam kendimle, derde fetiş bu
Hep bi' bahane, hep bi' bahane
Dostum iyki yetiştin

Bi' zamanlar içimdeki çocuk ölü mü şindi?
Hâyâlperest olsaydım yolu görürdüm
Ama ben kötü insanlar varken onu sömürdüm
Dostum, hayatta olmasaydın sonum ölümdü

Belki bi' kör mermi ama sen hayatıma yön verdin
Okudum öğrendim, yeri geldi gölgendim
Psikolojik sorunlarıma katlandın, örterdin
Sana kendimden iyi bakcağıma kendime söz verdim

Anam, babam kadar kahrımı çektin sen
Hâyâlim bile yoktu, bana hedef verdin
Sana göz kırpıp "O gün geldi" demek isterdim
Ama bu bok sandığımdan daha çok emek istermiş

Dostum, darlanırım moralin bozukken
Arkadaşlığını bitirsen inan hiç üzülmem
Ama bi' gün canını yakan olur da haberi gelmezse bana
O gün sende lütfen gözüme gözükme

Yolu bulmam lazım, yolum yokuş
Kavgam kendimle, derde fetiş bu
Hep bi' bahane, hep bi' bahane
Dostum iyki yetiştin

Yolu bulmam lazım, yolum yokuş
Kavgam kendimle, derde fetiş bu
Hep bi' bahane, hep bi' bahane
Dostum iyki yetiştin

Çok yetiştin, hem de bi'kaç kere değil
Kafayı kırmadan sayende ilaç denedim
Mahçup hissetme diye "Burada yazmasam mı?" diyodum da
Senin yardımınla almıştım ilk kira senedimi

"Kendime inancım kalmadı" derken ben
Tekrâr çıkıp geldin "Bi' daha dene" dedin
Düşüp düşüp kalktım
Yeri geldi sarhoşluğumu çektin her gün başka bi' sahnede benim

Bi' ben kendime belki bi' şans veremedim
Umrumda değildi o zamanlar "Kavgacı" demeleri
Bugün beladan uzak bir adamsam
Bu ailem kadar senin de emeklerin

Velhâsıl iyki varsınız
Kibar bile sayılabilirim artık
Baya bi' teşekkürüm arttı
O da geçmişte bana tahammül edenlere kalsın

Yolu bulmam lazım, yolum yokuş
Kavgam kendimle, derde fetiş bu
Hep bi' bahane, hep bi' bahane
Dostum iyki yetiştin

Yolu bulmam lazım, yolum yokuş
Kavgam kendimle, derde fetiş bu
Hep bi' bahane, hep bi' bahane
Dostum iyki yetiştin

(Dostum iyki yetiştin)

My Friend

I need to find my way, the road is uphill
My struggle is with myself, this is a fetish for trouble
Always an excuse, always an excuse
My friend, I'm so glad you came along

I need to find my way, the road is uphill
My struggle is with myself, this is a fetish for trouble
Always an excuse, always an excuse
My friend, I'm so glad you came along

Is the child within me dead now?
If I were a dreamer, I would see the way
But I exploited him while there were bad people
My friend, if you weren't alive, my end would be death

Maybe a stray bullet, but you gave direction to my life
I read and learned, I was your shadow when needed
You endured my psychological problems, you covered them
I promised myself I would take care of you better than myself

You've been through as much as my mother and father
I didn't even have a dream, you gave me a goal
I would like to wink at you and say "That day has come"
But this shit takes more effort than I thought

My friend, I get frustrated when you're down
Believe me, I wouldn't be upset if you ended our friendship
But if one day someone hurts you and I don't hear about it
Please don't let me see you that day

I need to find my way, the road is uphill
My struggle is with myself, this is a fetish for trouble
Always an excuse, always an excuse
My friend, I'm so glad you came along

I need to find my way, the road is uphill
My struggle is with myself, this is a fetish for trouble
Always an excuse, always an excuse
My friend, I'm so glad you came along

You came along so many times, not just once or twice
Thanks to you, I tried medication before losing my mind
I kept thinking "Should I not write about this here?" so you wouldn't feel indebted
With your help, I got my first lease agreement

When I said "I have no faith in myself"
You came back and said "Try again"
I fell and got back up
Sometimes you put up with my drunkenness, every day I was on a different stage

Maybe I couldn't give myself a chance
I didn't care back then when they called me "troublemaker"
If I am a man who stays away from trouble today
It's your effort as much as my family's

In short, I'm glad you're here
I can even be considered polite now
I have a lot of gratitude
Let it remain for those who tolerated me in the past

I need to find my way, the road is uphill
My struggle is with myself, this is a fetish for trouble
Always an excuse, always an excuse
My friend, I'm so glad you came along

I need to find my way, the road is uphill
My struggle is with myself, this is a fetish for trouble
Always an excuse, always an excuse
My friend, I'm so glad you came along

(My friend, I'm so glad you came along)
