(Suphi, Suphi, a strange man,

Suphi, Suphi, my dear liver)

Nobody knows where he is from

Suphi, Suphi, shut up, it's evening)

Das Kapital in a pocket,

Cannabis seeds in a pocket

|
"In a boat left over from the storm
|
In resignation, his magnificent beard
|
And in his makeshift parka
|
With his hidden adventure
|
There lived a strange man
|
He was silent in the evening
|
If I spoke, he would get angry
|
It was a town of exile
|
It was an old time, it was June
|
I was a child, I ran away from home
|
I came and took shelter in her
|
A small put, it fit
|
Maybe he was the one who discovered this place
|
The lights of the town were lit in the distance
|
I was filled with my mother, I would cry
|
Suphi used to take a glance
|
A secret cigarette would turn black, he would cry
|
Then we'd make up, I'd play the flute
|
The cigarette would go out, we would cry
|
I didn't know where it came from
|
He was orphaned, maybe without an identity
|
His adventure would interest him
|
would not touch anyone
|
He was always cursing at something.
|
He slept like a restless fish
|
Sometimes lost, I would search
|
stood in the rain
|
He had a thick book, kept in his pocket
|
He would read every day, I wouldn't understand a thing
|
I wouldn't have watched the cover
|
It was a bearded picture. |
Who was it?
|
how grateful I was
|
I asked Suphi one day:
|
'Why I don't understand what you are saying';
|
What you know, he said, face life
|
And don't be afraid to test
|
Then you can separate right from wrong
|
And you can understand it
|
Then he would laugh
|
My days would be spent wondering about hundreds of details.
|
Then it would be evening again, Suphi kept silent
|
If I spoke, he would get angry
|
Seagulls landed on the boat
|
My heart would burn for Suphi, I would cry
|
Suphi would spit in the sea, scan the sky, cry
|
Then we'd make up, I'd play the flute
|
The star would fall, we would cry."

“It was a town of exile.

It was an old time, it was June
|
I was a child, I ran away from home
|
I came and took shelter in her
|
One day something went wrong, my mother found me
|
Suphi escaped and disappeared
|
The town was agitated, it was an event
|
I was silent, my blood froze
|
When the cops found him he was the only one, it was a disaster
|
Everyone gathered in the square
|
It was like a proud rifle as he entered the police station.
|
He suddenly turned and looked at me.
|
'Do you understand?', he said
|
'I understand.' |
I said, I understand
|
And after that day;
|
I've never, nowhere, never cried" |
