Ahmet Kaya "Arka Mahalle" lyrics

Translation to:arelenfaru

Arka Mahalle

Ağladım gözyaşlarım döndü denizeBen derdimi kimseye söyleyemedimKurşunlara gelirken arka mahalledeDüştüm de yerlere bir of demedim.

Başıma neler geldi sana diyemedimBeni kaç kere dövdülerAdını söylemedim of of of ofYıkılsın evin.

Ağladım gözyaşlarım düştü ateşeYine de bu yangını söndüremedimBağıra bağıra yazdım seni içimeBir kez olsun yüzünü güldüremedim

the back district

i cried, my tears turned into a sea

i couldn't tell my sufferings to anybody

although i was shot with bullets in the back district (literally, when i came to bullets. "mahle" is short way of saying "mahalle")

and i fell onto the ground i didn't say ouch! once

i couldn't tell you what'd happened to me

how many times they'd beaten/hit me

i didn't tell your name

may your house be ruined

i cried, my tears fell into the fire

but i couldn't put out this fire

i wrote you inside me in screams

i couldn't make your face smile even once
