Translation of the song Tut ki gecedir artist Ahmet Kaya

Tut ki gecedir

suppose it's night

Karanl?k s?vas?r ellerine camlardan

darkness from windows gets smeared on your hands

Birden k?rm?z?ya doner trafik ?s?klar?

all of a sudden the traffic lights turn red

Kukurtlu dumanlar yukselir

sulfurous smokes belch out

Korkuya batm?s cam k?r?g? adamlardan

from men of broken glass sunken into fear

Tehlikeye buyur sakallar?.

whose beards grow into danger

Tut ki gecedir

suppose it's night

Ihbarlar birer sansar

informations are martens

Bir telefondan bir telefona atlar

they hop from one phone to the other

Yer alt? orgutleri tetik ustunde

underground mobs are on the alert

Adres degistirmis silah kacakc?lar?

gunrunners have changed their addresses

Fahiseler birbirinden kuskulan?yor.

prostitutes distrust each other

Tut ki gecedir

suppose it's night

katiller huzursuz

murderers are uneasy

h?rs?zlar sinirli

thieves are nervous

Hainler urkekcedir

traitors are apprehensive

Elleri telefona kendiliginden uzan?yor

their hands reach out to the phone spontaneously

ihanete gece muthis bir gerekcedir

the night is a terrific ground for treason

ihbarlar birer sansar

informations are martens

bir telefondan bir telefona atlar

they hop from one phone to the other

Ihanet bir bilmecedir

treason is a puzzle
