Текст и перевод песни Yeni Türkü - Yedikule

Yedikule

Haber uçtu devlete de
Beş yıl yattım hapiste
Haber uçtu devlete de
Beş yıl yattım hapiste

Yedi düvel zindanından
Beterdir Yedikule
Yedi düvel zindanından
Beterdir Yedikule

Nargilem duman duman ah
Bayıldım aman aman
İstanbul güzel ama ah
Zabitleri pek yaman

Beş yıl bana yaraştı da
Nargilem buna şaştı
Beş yıl bana yaraştı da
Nargilem buna şaştı

Her gün çizdim usturamla
Bağlamam doldu taştı
Hergün çizdim usturamla
Bağlamam doldu taştı

Sarma cigaram yanar ah
Çekerim ağır ağır
Tekkemiz güzel ama ah
Haber uçuranlar var

Nargilemin marpucu da
Gümüştendir gümüşten
Nargilemin marpucu da
Gümüştendir gümüşten

Beş değil on beş yıl olsa
Ben vazgeçmem bu işten
Beş değil on beş yıl olsa
Ben vazgeçmem bu işten

Nargilem duman duman ah
Bayıldım aman aman
İstanbul güzel ama ah
Zabitleri pek yaman

Yedikule

News flew to the state
I spent five years in prison
News flew to the state
I spent five years in prison

Of all the dungeons in the world,
Yedikule is the worst
Of all the dungeons in the world,
Yedikule is the worst

My hookah smokes and smokes ah,
I have fainted from it, oh no
Istanbul is beautiful but ah,
Its officers are quite fierce

Five years looked good on me
And my hookah marvelled at it
Five years looked good on me
And my hookah marvelled at it

Every day I used to draw lines with my razor on the walls
My bağlama was overflowing
Every day I used to draw lines with my razor on the walls
My bağlama was overflowing

My hand-rolled cigarettes burn ah,
I inhale deeply and slowly
Our lodge is beautiful but ah,
There are traitors who gossip

The tube of my hookah, too,
Is made of silver, completely of silver
The tube of my hookah, too,
Is made of silver, completely of silver

Even if it were not five years but fifteen years
I would not give up my work
Even if it were not five years but fifteen years
I would not give up my work

My hookah smokes and smokes ah,
I have fainted from it, oh no
Istanbul is beautiful but ah,
Its officers are quite fierce
