Текст и перевод песни Ahmet Kaya - Tezgahtar Nebahat

Tezgahtar Nebahat

Tezgahtar bir kızdı o permalı saçlarıyla
Herkese gülümserdi süzgün bakışlarıyla
Anasının elinden kaçırıp birkaç kuruş
Konserlere giderdi çılgın gözyaşlarıyla

Kırmızı hırkasıyla resimler çektirirdi
Keşfedilmek için hep Beyoğlu′nda gezerdi
Her akşam o şarkıcı duvardaki posterden
Uzanıp rüya gibi dudağından öperdi

Ah Nebahat, Nebahat bir gün görmedi rahat
Düşünür bulamazdı kimdeydi bu kabahat
Ah Nebahat, Nebahat bir gün görmedi rahat
Düşünür bulamazdı kimdeydi bu kabahat

Tezgahtar bir kızdı o, evi Sağmalcılar'da
Altı kardeş, bir ana, bir de kötürüm baba
İçki kumar peşinde boş vermiş bir abisi
Devlete karşı gelmiş bir ablası mapusta

Kırmızı hırkasıyla ah seneler eskitti
Sonunda rüyasını sandığına kitledi
Mahalleden biriyle heveslendi sevmeye
Hayırsız çıktı oğlan zengin bir dula gitti

Ah Nebahat, Nebahat ona gülmedi hayat
Sonunda anladı ki kendindeydi kabahat
Ah Nebahat, Nebahat ona gülmedi hayat
Sonunda anladı ki kendindeydi kabahat

Cashier Nebahat

She was a cashier girl with permed hair
She used to smile at everyone with her languid gaze
She would grab a few coins from her mother's hand
And go to concerts with her crazy tears

She would take pictures in her red sweater
She would always wander around Beyoğlu to be discovered
Every night the singer from the poster on the wall
Would reach out and kiss her on the lips like a dream

Ah Nebahat, Nebahat never saw comfort
She would think and couldn't find who was to blame
Ah Nebahat, Nebahat never saw comfort
She would think and couldn't find who was to blame

She was a cashier girl, her house was in Sağmalcılar
Six siblings, a mother, and a crippled father
A brother who was after drinking and gambling
And a sister in prison for rebelling against the state

In her red sweater, oh she wore it out
In the end, she locked her dreams in a box
She got excited about loving a guy from the neighborhood
The boy turned out to be a bad guy and went to a rich widow

Ah Nebahat, Nebahat, life didn't smile on her
Finally, she realized that the fault was in herself
Ah Nebahat, Nebahat, life didn't smile on her
Finally, she realized that the fault was in herself
