Translation of the song lyrics Kahya Yahya - Cem Karaca

Kahya Yahya (original)

Diskoteğin önünde kahya durmuşum
Diskoteğin önünde kahya durmuşum
Araba plakasından fallar tutmuşum
Araba plakasından fallar tutmuşum
İçeri giren sarı kız bana baksaydı
Baksaydı da bana bana, benim olsaydı
Olmaz olmaz bilirim, ben kahya yahya
O kim bilir kimin nesi, ben kahya yahya
Şu İstanbul şehrinden neler ummuşum
Şu İstanbul şehrinden neler ummuşum
Ummuşum da sadece yutkunmuşum
Ummuşum da sadece yutkunmuşum
İçeri giren sarı kız bana baksaydı
Baksaydı da bana bana, benim olsaydı
Olmaz olmaz bilirim, ben kahya Yahya
O kim bilir kimin nesi, ben kahya Yahya
Dur be oğlum kahya yahya, gel haddini bil
Dur be oğlum kahya yahya, gel haddini bil
Sen kahyasın, kahya gibi kahyalığını bil
Sen kahyasın, kahya gibi kahyalığını bil

Kahya Yahya (translation)

I was the butler in front of the disco.
I was the butler in front of the disco.
I got a fortune teller from the license plate
I got a fortune teller from the license plate
If the yellow girl who walked in was looking at me
If he looked at me, if he were mine
I know it's impossible, I'm butler yahya
Who knows who he is, I'm the housekeeper yahya
What did I expect from this city of Istanbul?
What did I expect from this city of Istanbul?
I hoped, I just swallowed
I hoped, I just swallowed
If the yellow girl who walked in was looking at me
If he looked at me, if he were mine
I know it's impossible, I'm the housekeeper Yahya
Who knows who he is, I'm the housekeeper Yahya
Wait son, butler yahya, come and know your place
Wait son, butler yahya, come and know your place
You are the butler, know your stewardship like the butler
You are the butler, know your stewardship like the butler
