Ahmet Kaya "Demedim Mi Haydar" lyrics

Translation to:en

Demedim Mi Haydar

biz dağlarda keklik idikşimdi bu çöplükte karga oldukbizim de boyumuzu aştı bu şehiryerlere serildik madara olduk

demedim mi haydar, demedim mi sanabu istanbul yutar adamıdemedim mi haydar, demedim mi söylebu şerefsiz geceler satar adamı

biz umutlar yolcusuydukrakı sofrasında bir meze oldukbizim de harcımız değildi sevmekyosmalar içinde kepaze olduk

Didn't I Tell, Haydar

we were partridges in the mountainsnow we are crows in this garbage dumpthis city exceeded our height toowe sprawled on the ground, greatly disgraced

didn't I tell, Haydar, didn't I tell youthat this Istanbul engulfs onedidn't I tell, Haydar, say it, didn't I tellthat these dishonest nights sell one

we were travelers of hopewe became meze* on the raki tablewe didn't know what love waswe became the ridicule of pretty women
