Sorry, it must be "Adi Yilmaz"
Here I've found the lyrics:
Adi Yilmaz
Dalyan gibi bir çocuktu
Benim gözümde küçüktü
Küstüde dağlara cıktı
iner mi inmez mi bilmem
Şimdi dağların tozudur
Belki isyanın sazıdır
Halen kalbimde sızıdır
Diner mi dinmez mi bilmem
Adı yılmaz kendi yılmaz
Makamı yok dem tutulmaz
Dağlara soru sorulmaz
Döner mi dönmez mi bilmem
Mavi gözleri boncuktur
Ölüm Korkusu şuncuktur
Azrail atı kancıktır
Biner mi binmez mi bilmem
Parkasına Kar yağmıştır
Bir kenarda ağlamıştır
Belki elleri yanmıştır
Söner mi sönmez mi bilmem
Adı yılmaz kendi yılmaz
Makamı yok dem tutulmaz
Dağlara soru sorulmaz
Döner mi dönmez mi bilmem

Dalyan gibi bir çocuktu
He was a puissant young guy
tall and well built young man
Benim gözümde küçüktü
But, he was too little in my eyes
Küstüde dağlara cıktı
He got mad and so went up to the mountains
He means, he got mad at injustice and because of that he decided to rebel
iner mi inmez mi bilmem
I don't know whether he would come down or not
Şimdi dağların tozudur
He is now the dust of the mountains
Belki isyanın sazıdır
Maybe, the melody (the instrument) of the rebellion
Halen kalbimde sızıdır
He is still the sting in my heart
Diner mi dinmez mi bilmem
I dont know whether it would heal or not
Adı yılmaz kendi yılmaz
His name is Yılmaz, he himself is also yılmaz (indomitable/not giving up)
Yılmaz is a name and means "indomitable/not giving up". It can also be a family name but it's well used by left orientated people.
Makamı yok dem tutulmaz
He doesn't have a high civil servant status, you simply cannot accompany him
This is very difficult, it means also (FOR ME) like " you can't order him something to do
or "he can't be commanded" - "It won't work if you would flatter him" - "you can't have something you like if you play up to him" and and and
But this is a wordplay... "Makam" in the sentence before means also: "concept of melodic creation that determines tonal relations"
and "dem tutmak" in that sentence means: "to sing long and sweetly" - "to accompany a piece of music" - "to sing/make music together with others"
Dağlara soru sorulmaz
You cannot ask the mountains any questions
Döner mi dönmez mi bilmem
I don't know whether he would come back or not
Mavi gözleri boncuktur
His blue eyes are just like pearls
He means also: turquoise blue
Boncuk: bead
He says "eyes like beads because of these typical "blue beads in form of blue eyes for the protection of devil eyes... )
Ölüm Korkusu şuncuktur
His fear of death is as little as that
He sings here like if he would show with hands how little is it
Azrail atı kancıktır
The death angel's horse is bitc *****y ouppsss this is edited by forum
Biner mi binmez mi bilmem
[b]I don't know whether he would get on or not[/i]
Parkasına Kar yağmıştır
It had snowed on his anorak
Parka/Anorak was a typical clothe of left left orientated people in 60-70's
Bir kenarda ağlamıştır
He had cried in a corner
Belki elleri yanmıştır
Maybe, his hands had gotten burned
Söner mi sönmez mi bilmem
I don't know whether it would be put out or not
Adı Yılmaz kendi yılmaz
His name is Yılmaz, he himself is also yılmaz
Makam özgür dem tutulmaz
He is free of states, you cannot play up to him
Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz
You cannot ask the mountains for an explanation
You cannot call the mountains to account for what they having done
Döner mi dönmez mi bilmem
I don't know whether he would come back or not
