Текст и перевод песни Mozaik feat. Ayşe Tütüncü & Timuçin Gürer - Toy Kuzinim

Toy Kuzinim

Kuzinimi gördüm yıllar sonra
Tazem ışıl ışıldı zamanında
O elma yanaklı ceylanı
Gören yerinde duramazdı
Saçları ipek ipek
Dişleri inci gibi
Gözler bahar mavisi
Dudakları kirazdı
Yürümezdi sekerdi
Konuşmazdı şakırdı
Yaşam dolu, neşeli
Kuzinim işte böyleydi
Yıllar geçtikçe
İş peşinde, boğaz derdinde
Çöktü paçavraya döndü
Eser kalmadı güzelliğinden
Şimdi ne zaman rastlasam ona
Hatırını sorsam, derin bir iç geçirir
Konuşmaz hiç, yüzünden bellidir diyeceği
"Lanet olsun Kolomb'un ülkesine"

My Cousin

I saw my cousin after many years
She was so beautiful and radiant
That gazelle with rosy cheeks
No one could stand still when they saw her
Her hair was like silk
Her teeth were like pearls
Her eyes were the blue of spring
Her lips were like cherries
She didn't walk, she skipped
She didn't talk, she sang
Full of life and joy
That's what my cousin was like
As the years passed
Searching for a job, struggling to make ends meet
She wilted and turned into a rag
There is no trace of her beauty left
Now when I meet her
When I ask her how she is, she sighs deeply
She doesn't speak, it's clear from her face what she wants to say
"Damn that country of Columbus"
