Ahmet Kaya "Dardayim" lyrics

Translation to:arenesru

Dardayim

Daradayım yalanım yokBaskın yedim gün gece...Örselendi aşklarım üstelikBir uzak diyardayım...

Günaydın anneciğim, günaydın babacığımYine sabah oluyorEvde sabah olmaz demeOrda günler geçmez demeİçime sancı doğuyor...

"Yüreğimi bir kalkan bilip, sokaklara çıktımKahvelerde oturdum çocuklarla konuştumSıkıldım dertlendim dostlarımla buluştumBugün de ölmedim anne.

Kapalıydı kapılar, perdeler örtükSilah sesleri uzakta boğuk boğukBir yüzüm ayrılığa, bir yüzüm hayata dönükBugünde ölmedim anne.

Üstüme bir silah doğruldu sandımRüzgar beline dolandığımda bir dalKorktum, güldüm, kendime kızdımBugünde ölmedim anne.

Bana böylesi garip duygularBilmem neye gelir nereye giderDöndüm işteAcı yüreğimden beynime sızarBugünde ölmedim anne.

I'm in Dire Straits

I'm in dire straits, no lieI've got raided day and nightMy loves have been buffeted even furtherI'm in a faraway land

Good morning mommy, good morning daddyMorning comes againDon't say morning doesn't come at homeDon't say days don't pass thereA pain rises in me

Taking my heart as a shield I went out to streetsI sat in cafes, I talked with childrenI got bored, I got worried, I met my friendsI didn't die today, too, mother

Closed were the doors, lowered were the curtainsGun sounds far away and muffledMy one face has turned to separation, my other face, to deathI didn't die today, too, mother

I thought a gun was directed at meWhen the wind wrapped around the waist of a branchI feared, I laughed, I got angry with myselfI didn't die today, too, mother

I don't know why such strange feelings come to meand where they goHere i'm back,Pain leaks form my heart to my brainI didn't die today, too, mother
