| Gece leylek ve tomurcuk kokuyor
| The night smells of storks and buds
|
| Yaralý bir þahin olmuþ yüreðim
| My heart has become a wounded hawk
|
| Uy anam anam haziranda ölmek zor
| Wake up, my mother, it's hard to die in June
|
| Çalýþmýþým onbeþ saat
| I worked fifteen hours
|
| Tükenmiþim onbeþ saat
| I'm exhausted fifteen hours
|
| Yorulmuþum acýkmýþým uykusamýþým
| I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm sleepy
|
| Anama sövmüþ patron
| Boss who abused my mother
|
| Sýkmýþým diþlerimi
| i grit my teeth
|
| Islýkla söylemiþim umutlarýmý
| I whistled my hopes
|
| Sýcak bir ev özlemiþim
| I miss a warm home
|
| Sýcacýk bir yatakta unutturan öpücükler
| Kisses that make you forget in a warm bed
|
| Çýkýþým bir dalgada
| My exit is in a wave
|
| Vurmuþum sokaklara
| I hit the streets
|
| Sokakta tank paleti
| Tank pallet on the street
|
| Sokakta düdük sesi
| Whistle in the street
|
| Sarý sarý yapraklarla
| With yellow leaves
|
| Daðlarda insan iskeletleri
| Human skeletons in the mountains
|
| Gece leylek ve tomurcuk kokuyor
| The night smells of storks and buds
|
| Uyarýna gelirse tepemde bir de çýnar demiþti
| If he was warned, he said there was a plane tree above me.
|
| Yýllar önce
| Years ago
|
| Demek ki on yýl sonra
| So, after ten years
|
| Demek ki sabah sabah
| It means that in the morning
|
| Demek ki manda günü
| So the buffalo day
|
| Demek ki þile bezi
| I mean, the şile cloth
|
| Bir de memedin yüzü
| And the face of the breast
|
| Bir de saman sarýsý
| And a straw yellow
|
| Bir de özlem kýrmýzýsý
| And a longing red
|
| Demek ki göçtü usta
| So he passed away, master
|
| Kaldý yürek sýzýsý
| left heartache
|
| Yýllar var ter içinde taþýdým ben bu yükü
| There are years, I carried this burden in sweat
|
| Býraktým acýnýn alkýþlarýna
| I left it to the applause of the pain
|
| Üç haziran altmýþ üçü
| three june sixty three
|
| Bir kýrmýzý gül dalý eðilmiþ üstüne
| A red rose branch bent over it
|
| Bir kýrmýzý gül dalý þimdi uzakta
| A red rose branch is now far away
|
| Okþar yanan alnýný Nazým ustanýn
| He pats the burning forehead of Master Nazım.
|
| Bir kýrmýzý gül dalý eðilmiþ üstüne
| A red rose branch bent over it
|
| Bir kýrmýzý gül dalý þimdi uzakta
| A red rose branch is now far away
|
| Yatýyor oralarda bir eski gömütlükte
| He lies there in an old burial ground
|
| Yatýyor usta
| lies master
|
| Gece leylek ve tomurcuk kokuyor
| The night smells of storks and buds
|
| Geçsem de gölgesinden tanklarýn tomsonlarýn
| Even if I pass through the shadow of the tomsons of tanks
|
| Þuramda bir kuþ ötüyor
| A bird is singing over me
|
| Haziranda ölmek zor | It's hard to die in June |
