    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
