Nöbetçinin türküsü

English translation

The Ballad of the Watcher’s

Bana yazdığın son mektubun ucunu bu sefer bilerek yakmamışsın

You did not purposely kindle the tip of the letter you wrote to me

Şehre gitmeye karar vermişsin

You decided to go to the city

Sen bilirsin...

It is up to you..

Verdiğin bu kararın sen farkına varmamışsın...

But you were not aware of the desicion of yours..

Nöbette geceleyin

On the shift at night time

Ses geliyor dağlardan

A voice comes back from the mountains

Artık bir dönüşün yok

There is no turning back

Düştüğün o yollardan

From the roads you have hit to

Yar beni, o yar beni

Oh dear, my dear

İlle de yar, o yar beni

Only my dear, my dear

Dağdan gelen ses değil

Not the voice coming from the mountains

Mezara yar koyar beni

My dear will be the one who’s gonna put me in the grave

Şehirler güler amma

Cities would seem nice but

Kurt gibi kapar seni

They also eat you like an animal

Hayat güzeldir ama

Life is great but

Sermaye yapar seni

It makes you a simple stock

Nöbette geceleyin

On the shift at night time

Ses geliyor dağlardan

A voice comes back from the mountains

Artık bir dönüşün yok

There is no turning back

Düştüğün o yollardan

From the roads you have hit to

Yar beni, o yar beni

Oh dear, my dear

İlle de yar, o yar beni

Only my dear, my dear

Dağdan gelen ses değil

Not the voice coming from the mountains

Mezara yar koyar beni

My dear will be the one who’s gonna put me in the grave

Sana yar diyemem ki

I can not call you dear

Çektin gittin yoz oldun

You left me

Seni affedemem ki

I can not forgive you

Dile düştün söz oldun

You become a gum in the mouths

Nöbette geceleyin

On the shift at night time

Ses geliyor dağlardan

A voice comes back from the mountains

Artık bir dönüşün yok

There is no turning back

Düştüğün o yollardan

From the roads you have hit to

Yar beni, o yar beni

Oh dear, my dear

İlle de yar, o yar beni

Only my dear, my dear

Dağdan gelen ses degil

Not the voice coming from the mountains

Mezara yar koyar beni

My dear will be the one who’s gonna put me in the grave
