Lyrics of Tuzlu Kolyem - Sehabe

Tuzlu Kolyem (original)

Hayat gözünü yumdu, işte geldim ahına
Gecelerimde yakışmış mı tuzlu kolyem boynuma?
Kimin hakkı kimde kalır, bu yol varır mı hakkına?
İstemez oğlum zorlama, selam verme hatırıma!
Nefretim inan yok, ah etmek huyum değil
Selam dur da saygım görmezden gel elleri
Bazen taşar, yetmez engel;
bu dert kalbe sığar değil!
Merak etme durulur, bilirim ne de olsa nafile
Ateş damlar yüreğime, yürek haydi dağlan
Düştüğü yeri yakarmış, fark edemezmiş insan
Anlar ettim geç olur, döner devran yaş kalır
Varsa özrüm bende saklı, günahlarımdır pişman
Umutlarım canımdı benim, üstü kapalı yıktılar
Gözlerim kör olmalıydı, nispetlerde yaktılar
Anılarımı maskot edip çırılçıplak soydular
Çok soğuktu titriyordum, yalın ayakla koydular
Kimi gözümde hain oldu, kiminin gözünde ben hain
Dünüm bugüne tutmayan yalan, bu hayat ne garip
Nefsim galip, isyan kalbim, harap düştü halim
Bil ki sade Rabb’im daim kardeş, bu dünya fani

(translation)

Life has closed its eyes, here I come
Does my salt necklace suit my neck at night?
Who has the right, does this road reach the right?
My son doesn't want it, don't force it, don't greet me!
Don't believe my hate, oh it's not my habit
Hello and my respect, ignore the hands
Sometimes it overflows, not enough obstacle;
this affliction does not fit into the heart!
Don't worry, it will settle down, I know it's useless after all
Fire drips into my heart, heart, let's mountain
A person who burned where he fell, could not notice
I understand, it will be late, it will turn around, the age remains
If there is, my apology is hidden in me, it is my sins I regret
My hopes were my life, they destroyed it implicitly
My eyes must have been blind, they burned in proportion
They mascot and stripped me of my memories
It was so cold I was shaking, they put it barefoot
Some became a traitor in my eyes, I am a traitor in the eyes of others
My yesterday is a lie that doesn't hold up to today, how strange this life is
My soul is victorious, my heart is rebellious, I am devastated
Know that my simple Lord is always brother, this world is mortal
