my favourite song of ahmet kaya is yakarim geceleri for those of you who don't know it... download it!
as for the lyrics of this song, he was a Kurdish separatist who stirred trouble in Turkey and was eventually assasinated.
politics aside he is admitedly a great artist.
Ahmet Kaya - Dogum Gunu
insanlarin yüzlerini göremiyorum, [i can't see inot peoples' faces]
bogazim dügüm dügüm cözemiyorum.. [my throat is knotted and can't be undone]
insanlarin yüzlerini göremiyorum,
bogazim dügüm dügüm cözemiyorum..
istesende yanina gelemiyorum, [even if you wanted me to, I can't come to your side]
tutsam su karanligi,tutsamda yirtsam! [if i could only catch this darkness, if i could catch it and tear it up!]
ah elim tutusmasa elini tutsam.. [oh if only my hand wouldnt catch fire i could hold your hand]
susmasam konussam sesini duysam, [if i didn't keep quiet, if i spoke, if i could hear your voice]
tutsam güzel yüzünü,bagrima bassam! [if i could only hold your beautiful face, press it to my bosom]
dogumgünüm gülüm,dogumgünüm gülüm, [my birthday my rose x 2]
dogumgünüm diyorsun.. [my birthday you're saying]
dogumgünüm gülüm,dogumgünüm bugün,
dogumgünüm diyorsun..
dogumgünün kutlu olsun mutlu ol senelerce, [happy birthday, be happy for years to come]
sana boncuktan kus yaptim konacak pencerene.. [from beads i made you a bird that you will place in the window]
karakollar beni alir sorgular gecelerce, [the police will take me and interrogate me for nights]
hic bekleme belki gelmem gelemem senelerce!!! [don't wait for me, maybe i won't return... i can't return for years to come!]
