Translation of the song İhtarname artist Cem Karaca

Turkish

İhtarname

English translation

The Pink Slip

Çeken Türk halkı

Sender, Turkish nation

Çekilen siz, siz, siz!

Receiver, you, you, you!

Konu, bal gibi bilirsiniz

Subject, oh you know so well...

Çöl, çöl, çöl, çöl, çöl, çöl babo

Desert, desert, desert, desert, desert, desert babo

Su yok, yol yok, derman yok

No water, no road, no cure!

Kum, kum, kum, kum, kum, kum babo

Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, babo

Kum gibi dert var derman yok

Trouble's like sand but there's no cure!

Vazgeçtik cennet yolundan

We gave up on heaven,

Ölsek yunmaya suyumuz yok...

There's no water to wash us when we die

Biz, biz, biz, biz, biz, biz babo

While we, we, we, we, we, we, babo

Daha çokken sizlerden

Are more than you in numbers

Dur, dur, dur, dur, dur, dur babo

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, babo

Gayri yeter etme lan

Enough of this, no more!

Kağnılar kaza yapmazlar

Ox carts can't crash,

Trafikten ölemem ki

Traffic won't kill me!

Gel efendim gel gel gel

Come, master, come, come, come

Sultanım ol gel gel gel

Be my sultan, come, come, come

Gel efendim gel gel gel

Come, master, come, come, come

Sultanım ol gel...

Be my sultan, come...
