Mehmet Erdem – Hakim Bey Turkish Lyrics English Translations

Şikâyetim var cümle yasaktan
– I have a complaint about the ban on the sentence
Dillerimi hâkim bey bağlasan durmaz
– Hakim bey, you can’t stop tying my tongues
Gelsin jandarma, polis karakoldan
– Have the gendarmerie come from the police station
Fikrim firarda, mapusa sığmaz eyvah
– My idea is on the run, mapusa won’t fit, alas
Mapusa sığmaz eyvah
– Mapusa does not fit alas

Gün olur yerle yeksan olurum
– It’ll be a day if you tear it down, I’ll be
Gün olur şahım devri devranda
– The day becomes shahim devranda devranda
Kanun üstüne kanun yapsalar
– Even if they make laws on the law
Söz uçar yazı iki cihanda eyvah
– The word flies and the writing flies, alas, in two worlds
İki cihanda eyvah
– Alas for the two worlds

Sussan olmuyor, susmasan olmaz
– You can’t shut up, you can’t shut up
Dil dursa hâkim bey tende can durmaz
– If the language stops, Hakim bey can’t stop the skin
Yazsan olmuyor, yazmasan olmaz
– You can’t write it down, you can’t write it down
Kaleme tedbir koma, tek durmaz
– Penned measure coma does not stand alone
