Translation of the song İnce Memed artist Grup Yorum
İnce Memed
Memed The Slim*
çakmağı yandıran kavdır
It is the tinder that lights the lighter
demiri dövdüren tavdır
It is the annealing that forges the iron
dayan ince memed
Hang on Memed The Slim
şimdi direnecek çağdır
It is time to resist
ince memed toroslar'dan gürledi
Memed, The Slim has rumbled from Toroses**
buhurcular kulak verip dinledi
Buhurcus have given ear and listened***
onyedi kurşunu yedi ölmedi
He has been shot 17 times, he hasn't died
dayan ince memed dayan
Hang on, Memed The Slim, hang on
n'idelim gardaş n'idelim oy
What are we going to do, my brother, what are we going to do
tut elimden ince memed
Take my hand Memed The Slim
gidelim dağlar gidelim oy
Let's go, mountains, let's go
kıratın boynunda püsküllü koza
The tasseled cocoon on the neck of the dapple-gray horse
kanlarım damladı çimene toza
My blood has dropped on the grasses and dust
kurtulursam eğer sorarım size
If I make away with, I'll ask you
buhurcular bölük bölük geldiler
Buhurcus have come in troops and troops***
atlarımı delik delik deldiler
They've pierced my horses****
duvarın dibinde resmim aldılar
They've took my picture on the wall
ak kağıt üstünde
Get to know me on the white paper,
tanıyın beni gardaş n'idelim oy
My brother, what are we going to do
dayan ince memed dayan
Hang on, Memed The Slim, hang on
n'idelim gardaş n'idelim oy
What are we going to do, my brother, what are we going to do
tut elimden ince memed
Take my hand Memed The Slim
gidelim dağlar gidelim oy
Let's go, mountains, let's go
