Lyrics
Diyarbakır etrafında tanklar var, tanklar var
Kuşatmışlar dört bir yandan kenti ordular
Kuşatmışlar dört bir yandan kenti ordular
Kalkacak ner’deyse ayağa surlar, surlar
İstemezler gün görmeden ölesen aman
İstemezler gün görmeden ölesen aman
Namlular göğsümüze dayandı, dayandı
Gece bastı gene zulum dadandı vay
Gece bastı gene zulum dadandı vay, vay
Yağlı ilmik boynumuza dolandı, dolandı
İsterler ki gün görmeden ölesen aman
İsterler ki gün görmeden ölesen aman
İsterler ki gün görmeden ölesen aman
Lyrics translation
There are tanks around Diyarbakir, there are tanks
The armies besieged the city on all sides
The armies besieged the city on all sides
The walls will rise, the walls will rise
They don't want you to die without seeing the day
They don't want you to die without seeing the day
The barrel is on our chest, it's on
The night went on again, the zulum hadrandı wow
The night went on again, the zulum was haunting.
The greasy noose is around our necks, it's around our necks
They want you to die without seeing the day
They want you to die without seeing the day
They want you to die without seeing the day
