Текст и перевод песни Sehabe - Terzi Mehmet

Terzi Mehmet

Köy ufaktı ama büyük adamdı Terzi Mehmet
Çalışkan ama fakirdi hayat böyle geldi gene
Ecnebiler çalıştırmış nasır tutmuş eller
Ekmek parasına yıllarca gurbet elde

Paris′e alıştı ama değişmedi köy yerine
Görgüsü ve bilgisiyle fazla gelir köy yerine
Hoşgörülü, yardım sever ufku derin baya
Bir tane düşmanı yok herkes sevip sayar

Uzakta torunlarım kalbi yakın yeter der
İyisiyle kötüsüyle hayat böyle giderken
Saat 11.14'ü bir gün kaydetti
Telefonda bi′ ses: "Dedeni kaybettik..."

Ne dedin kahretsin bedeni mahvettim
Bu beni katletti, bu deli kasvet mi?
Kulak duyar, kalp unutur mu o vedayı?
"Hüseyin oğlu Mehmet" diyen o selayı

Git, git düşünme bizi sen
Rol yaptık biz üzülmüş gibi hep
Her gece burda bi melek rüyamdan iner
Sadece sustuk sen uyanma diye

Gitme gökyüzü ışıldar
Bayram olur elbet bahar gelir kışında
Rüyaya karışıp sesini duyan var
Söylesene, çok mu zor uyanmak?

Kuruyan bu ağaçta bir tane kiraz kaldı
Onda mutluluk yok, sende biraz var mı?
Kadere küsmüş artık demiş ki dargınım
Kızından sonra tabi ikinci yangını

En eski güneşler bak karardı arkandan
Ne eski gülüşler var ne eski bayramlar...
Yok, hiçbir şey yok
Bak hancı
Sen gittin ya Ataeymir'de yabancı

Bir zamanlar tulumdan çıkmak için yürürdük
Bahçende oynayan çocuklar büyüdü
Bizler güneş olduk söndürdük mumları
İçin rahat olsun unutmaz torunların

Ölüm ayrılık istesen de kaçılmaz
Son bi sarılmadan gitmek beni acıtan
Şimdilik hoşça kal, mekanın cennet olsun

Git, git düşünme bizi sen
Rol yaptık biz üzülmüş gibi hep
Her gece burda bi' melek rüyamdan iner
Sadece sustuk sen uyanma diye

Gitme gökyüzü ışıldar
Bayram olur elbet bahar gelir kışında
Rüyaya karışıp sesini duyan var
Söylesene, çok mu zor uyanmak?

Git, git düşünme bizi sen
Rol yaptık biz üzülmüş gibi hep
Her gece burda bi melek rüyamdan iner
Sadece sustuk sen uyanma diye

Gitme gökyüzü ışıldar
Bayram olur elbet bahar gelir kışında
Rüyaya karışıp sesini duyan var
Söylesene, çok mu zor uyanmak?
Çok mu zor uyanmak?

Tailor Mehmet

The village was small, but Tailor Mehmet was a great man
Hardworking yet poor, life dealt him this hand again
He worked for foreigners, his hands calloused and worn
Years in foreign lands, just to earn his daily bread

He got used to Paris, but his village never left his heart
His manners and knowledge surpassed those of the village's part
Tolerant, helpful, with a deep understanding of the world
Not a single enemy, everyone loved and respected him each day

My grandchildren are far away, but their hearts are near, he'd say
With its good and bad, as life went on its way
One day, the clock struck 11:14, a moment it did portray
A voice on the phone: "We lost Grandpa..." it did convey

What did you say, damn it, I've ruined my body, I confess
This killed me, this insane gloom, this utter distress
Can the ear hear, but the heart forget that farewell's embrace?
That funeral prayer that called out "Mehmet, son of Hüseyin" with grace

Go, go, don't think of us, my dear,
We all pretended to be sad, it's clear
Every night, an angel descends from my dreams, I swear
We just kept quiet, so you wouldn't wake up there

Don't go, the sky is shimmering bright
There will be holidays, spring will surely come after winter's night
There are those who hear your voice, blending into dreams' gentle flight
Tell me, is it so hard to wake up to the light?

On this withered tree, only one cherry remains, so frail
There's no happiness in it, do you have some to unveil?
He's given up on fate, saying he's upset, it's true
After his daughter, of course, this is his second fire to subdue

Look, even the oldest suns have darkened after your departure
There are no more old smiles, no more old holidays, it's torture...
No, there's nothing left at all,
Look, innkeeper,
Since you left, Ataeymir feels like a stranger

We used to walk to escape the boiler suit's hold
The children playing in your garden have grown old
We became suns and extinguished the candles' flame
Rest assured, your grandchildren will never forget your name

Death and separation, even if you wish, you can't evade
Leaving without one last hug is what truly makes me ache
For now, goodbye, may your place be in heaven above

Go, go, don't think of us, my dear,
We all pretended to be sad, it's clear
Every night, an angel descends from my dreams, I swear
We just kept quiet, so you wouldn't wake up there

Don't go, the sky is shimmering bright
There will be holidays, spring will surely come after winter's night
There are those who hear your voice, blending into dreams' gentle flight
Tell me, is it so hard to wake up to the light?

Go, go, don't think of us, my dear,
We all pretended to be sad, it's clear
Every night, an angel descends from my dreams, I swear
We just kept quiet, so you wouldn't wake up there

Don't go, the sky is shimmering bright
There will be holidays, spring will surely come after winter's night
There are those who hear your voice, blending into dreams' gentle flight
Tell me, is it so hard to wake up to the light?
Is it so hard to wake up to the light?
