Lyrics

Dalyan gibi bir çocuktu
Benim gözümde küçüktü
Dalyan gibi bir çocuktu
Benim gözümde küçüktü
Küstü de dağlara çıktı;
İner mi, inmez mi? Bilmem!
Küstü de dağlara çıktı;
İner mi, inmez mi? Bilmem!
Şimdi dağların tozudur
Belki isyanın sazıdır
Şimdi dağların tozudur
Belki isyanın sazıdır
Hâlâ kalbimde sızıdır;
Diner mi, dinmez mi? Bilmem!
Hâlâ kalbimde sızıdır;
Diner mi, dinmez mi? Bilmem!
Adı Yılmaz, kendi yılmaz
Makamı yok, dem tutulmaz
Adı Yılmaz, kendi yılmaz
Makamı yok, dem tutulmaz
Dağlara soru sorulmaz;
Döner mi, dönmez mi? Bilmem!
Dağlara soru sorulmaz;
Döner mi, dönmez mi? Bilmem!
Mavi gözleri boncuktur
Ölüm korkusu şuncuktur
Mavi gözleri boncuktur
Ölüm korkusu şuncuktur
Azrail atı kancıktır;
Biner mi, binmez mi? Bilmem!
Azrail atı kancıktır;
Biner mi, binmez mi? Bilmem!
Parkasına kar yağmıştır
Bir kenarda ağlamıştır
Parkasına kar yağmıştır
Bir kenarda ağlamıştır
Belki elleri yanmıştır
Söner mi, sönmez mi? Bilmem!
Belki elleri yanmıştır
Söner mi, sönmez mi? Bilmem!
Adı Yılmaz, kendi yılmaz
Makam özgür, dem tutulmaz
Adı Yılmaz, kendi yılmaz
Makam özgür, dem tutulmaz
Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz;
Döner mi, dönmez mi? Bilmem!
Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz;
Döner mi, dönmez mi? Bilmem!
Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz;
Döner mi, dönmez mi? Bilmem!
Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz;
Döner mi, dönmez mi? Bilmem!

Lyrics translation

He was a strapping boy
He was small to me.
He was a strapping boy
He was small to me.
He went up to the mountains;
Down, right, down, down can't you go? I don't know!
He went up to the mountains;
Down, right, down, down can't you go? I don't know!
Now the dust of the mountains
Maybe it's the reeds of rebellion
Now the dust of the mountains
Maybe it's the reeds of rebellion
It still seeps in my heart;
Will it stop or not? I don't know!
It still seeps in my heart;
Will it stop or not? I don't know!
His name is Yilmaz, his own Yilmaz
No position, Dem not held
His name is Yilmaz, his own Yilmaz
No position, Dem not held
No questions asked to the mountains;
Rotary can't, won't get? I don't know!
No questions asked to the mountains;
Rotary can't, won't get? I don't know!
Blue eyes are beads
The fear of death is suncuk
Blue eyes are beads
The fear of death is suncuk
The Grim Reaper horse is a bitch;
Rides did did she? I don't know!
The Grim Reaper horse is a bitch;
Rides did did she? I don't know!
It must have snowed in his parka
He cried on the edge
It must have snowed in his parka
He cried on the edge
Maybe his hands are burned.
Will it go out or not? I don't know!
Maybe his hands are burned.
Will it go out or not? I don't know!
His name is Yilmaz, his own Yilmaz
Maqam is free, Dem is not held
His name is Yilmaz, his own Yilmaz
Maqam is free, Dem is not held
Mountains are not to be reckoned with;
Rotary can't, won't get? I don't know!
Mountains are not to be reckoned with;
Rotary can't, won't get? I don't know!
Mountains are not to be reckoned with;
Rotary can't, won't get? I don't know!
Mountains are not to be reckoned with;
Rotary can't, won't get? I don't know!
