Paroles et traduction Aşık Mahzuni Şerif - Geç Kaldık

Geç Kaldık

Hesap ettim ayak altı, baş yedi
Vallahi nazlı yâr gene geç kaldık
Hınzır bülbül gül dalında leş yedi
Katmerlendi zarar, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

Köprüler var perşembeden pazara
Yapanda yüz yok ki yüzü kızara
Hastayı gömdükten sonra mezara
İlaç neye yarar, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

İlaç neye yarar, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

Akşamı geç saydık, sabahı erken
Seyrettik kediler ciğeri yerken
"Hele şu bulutlar dağılsın." derken
Yollara yağdı kar, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

Yollara yağdı kar, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

Ok yetişmez oldu zor bezirgâna
Şimdiye katırlar bağlandı hana
Fuzuli telaşı bırak bir yana
Denkleri yavaş sar, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

Suya hasret kaldı deniz kızları
Ekvator'a direk diktik buzları
Ankara'yı geçti at hırsızları
Serde tembellik var, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah

Serde tembellik var, gene
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Geç kaldık, eyvah, eyvah
Eyvah sabah oldu akşam ötesi

We Were Late

I figured out it's six-thirty, almost seven
My darling, you're late again, I swear
The wretched nightingale feasted on the rose
The damage has multiplied again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

There are bridges from Thursday to Friday
The builder has no face to show
After we bury the patient in the grave
What good is the medicine now, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

What good is the medicine now, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

We misjudged the evening, we woke up early
We watched the cats eating the liver
"Let these clouds pass first," we said
Then it snowed, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

Then it snowed, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

The arrows can't reach the cunning merchant
The mules have been tied to the stable by now
Let go of your pointless worries
Tighten the saddles slowly, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

Mermaids are thirsty
We planted poles on the Equator
Horse thieves have passed Ankara
Our hearts are lazy, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear

Our hearts are lazy, again
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
We were late, oh dear, oh dear
Oh dear, it's morning and past dusk
