Mustafa Ceceli - Bekle

Bekle dönüşü vardır zor sürgünlerinde
Bekle hatırla bizi dar günlerinde
Telli turnalar gibi, çifte kumrular gibi
Sarışıp bir sedir ağacı gölgesinde
Baharı selamlayıp, iki çift kelamlayıp
Gamsız günler gecelerdim elinde
Biz gülleri severdik, dikenleriyle
Koklardık kanayana dek ellerimiz
Gül dikensiz olur mu? Ahetmezdik
Bekle, bekle hiç pesedermiyiz
Bir nasihat gibi bu sancılı hasret
Miyadını doldurup biter birgün
Karanlık aydılığa kavuşur elbet
Siz ogün bayramı kutlamayı görün
Bekle sıcacık bir Haziran
Bekle ısıtıp sol yanını yatağında

Mustafa Ceceli - Bekle - Hold on


Bekle dönüşü vardır zor sürgünlerinde
Hold on, there exists a return even for thoughest exiLes

Bekle hatırla bizi dar günlerinde
Hold on, Remember us in your days of difficuLty

Telli turnalar gibi, çifte kumrular gibi
Like demoiseLLe cranes, Like a coupLe in Love

*Like anthropoides virgo , Like a streptopelia decaocto coupLe
*teLLi turna: demoiseLLe cranes,anthropoides virgo (bird)
*kumru: brown pigeon, streptopelia decaocto

Sarışıp bir sedir ağacı gölgesinde
Wrapped under the shadow of a cedar tree

Baharı selamlayıp, iki çift kelamlayıp
SaLuting the Spring, uttering a coupLe of words

Gamsız günler gecelerdim elinde
I used to spend nights in your hand, days without sorrow...

Biz gülleri severdik, dikenleriyle
We used to Love Roses, with their Thorns

Koklardık kanayana dek ellerimiz
We used to smeLL (Roses), tiLL our hands bLeeded

Gül dikensiz olur mu? Ah etmezdik
Can rose be without a thorn? We wouldn't damn it

Bekle, bekle hiç pes eder miyiz
HoLd on, wait! do we ever surrender?

Bir nasihat gibi bu sancılı hasret
Like an advice, That painfuL Longing

Miadını doldurup biter birgün
wiLL expire and end one day

Karanlık aydınlığa kavuşur elbet
Darkness wiLL rejoin its Luminousness for sure

Siz o gün bayramı kutlamayı görün
(and) See (how) the ceLebration of Bayram (wiLL be) that day

Bekle sıcacık bir Haziran
Wait for a warmy June

Bekle ısıtıp sol yanını yatağında
Warm up the left side of the bed and Wait

sağol selim!~

love it !!! thanks selim!!

It's a wonderful song! Although I don't speak Turkish I managed to learn how to sing it and now I take a lot of pleasure in singing it along with Mustafa. The lyrics are very poetic but that I guess this is Sezen Aksu's trademark. Anyway, thanks a lot for translating it! Polonya'dan selamlar!

i loved that song too,somehow it was different,i heard some new words and it is not similar to others,ater reading the translation i made sure it was not like others,it is very poetic like you've said,sezen aksu rocks!!!

You're 100% right.

It always amazes me how many fantastic songs she has composed during her career as singer/songwriter.

Not only for herself but also for so many other artists, just like Mustafa here.

Have you heard "Unut" for example? It's one of those songs I'd take to a desert island. Also "Gidemem" is a very, very, very special song to me but I prefer it sung by Ferhat Gocer - he's a wonderful artist, too!

i love sezen's songs,although i never manage to listen to all her songs,
yup i know the song unut,sari odalar,hata,tukenecegiz,biliyorsun(love it !!),firuze..............

Don't think it's possible, even if you listened to a couple of songs a day :-)
There would still be next to come...
Bests!

As this song is growing more and more popular, I feel obliged to make few corrections on the lyrics and hope that selim will show up and make the necessary changes in his translation:

...
"Gamsız günler geceler demlerinde"
...
"Bekle, sıcacık bir haziran sabahında "

Hey SiLvEr_MooN,

Thanks for the correction of Lyrics...

I have translated it when Sohuda asked for the second time and like many lyrics I had translated I have no idea what the song looks like.

If I add these two Lines I will start from the beginning and if I try to set up rhyme it will be a burden for me... and what's more it may be worse...
By the way

Siz o gün bayramı kutlamayı görün
(and) See (how) the ceLebration of Bayram (wiLL be) that day

shouldn't have been translated Literally.
Here Bayram stands for the day of enjoyment where all sufferings come to an end. Well, it may be hard to find an equivalent word or words, in that case, I should have put a note for the reader. HOWEVER done is done.

so, please do me and the readers a favor and tanslate the two lines or more if you find it necessary...


see you


seLimmm

Okay selim, I see. Then, here is my attempt for these two lines:

Hold on
....
At times of untroubled days and nights (Gamsız günler geceler demlerinde)
....
Hold on, on a pleasantly-warm June morning (Bekle sıcacık bir Haziran)
