Текст и перевод песни Cem Karaca - Mehmet'e Ağıt

Mehmet'e Ağıt

Hem okudum hem yazdım
Yalan dünya senden bezdim oy
Dağlar otağını gezdim
Yiten yavrum bulunur mu?
Dağlar otağını gezdim
Yiten yavrum bulunur mu?

Bak şu kaşa, bak şu göze
Yandı yürek döndü köze vay
Mehmet'imi bir top beze
Saran dünya değil misin?
Mehmet'imi bir top beze
Saran dünya değil misin?

El veriyor el veriyor
Orta direk bel veriyor ah
Döndüm baktım sağ yanıma
Mehmet'im can veriyor
Döndüm baktım sağ yanıma
Mehmet'im can veriyor
Döndüm baktım sağ yanıma
Mehmet'im can veriyor

Elegy for Mehmet

I both studied and wrote,
False world, I'm tired of you, oh
I wandered your mountains and meadows,
Will my lost son be found?
I wandered your mountains and meadows,
Will my lost son be found?

Look at these eyebrows, look at these eyes,
My heart burned, turned to embers, woe,
My Mehmet, wrapped in a shroud,
Isn't it you, world, who did this?
My Mehmet, wrapped in a shroud,
Isn't it you, world, who did this?

Hand in hand, they give their hand,
The middle pillar gives way, ah,
I turned and looked to my right,
My Mehmet is giving up his life,
I turned and looked to my right,
My Mehmet is giving up his life,
I turned and looked to my right,
My Mehmet is giving up his life,
