Asfalt Dünya. 3 songs (Son, Bu Akşam Olmayacak and Zaman)

Agit yakmak is a way of crying after someone with songs. I just did the same and used a dictionary :P.

Thanks, I get it now...like they do when mourning someone who died.
And do these lyrics make a lot of sense in Turkish or are they also really hard to understand/interpret?
(I mean the whole meaning of the song...)

For me not much sense.
if I force it I may think of iron horse as a car, snake as a metro , crocodile as a buss, poet bats as people having trouble to sleep and looking out from windows. No idea about fly thing.
:P

Did I force it too much?

If I tell you that you forced it just enough, would that make you happy?

The iron horse=machine/car is the only one that was obvious to me.
I think Viva and Sade are good with animal (and vegetable) metaphors...Let's ask them.

Thanks again, ercmnt.

Sade - your translation was perfect! And just the way I like it.

Afet - your 'I have great taste in music' made me LOL.

Ercü - you're a hero

Parti - I loved your corrections and questions.

Nice song so who's going to tell me what ululate means? is it the crying out after a person thing?

Thank you for joining us Viv!
I am eternally grateful for Erc and Sade and Silver for these.
Ululate- To lament loudly, howl, or wail.
Thank you Mr. Webster. You're only slightly less a hero than Ercü.

I just realised there was a small mistake in the original lyrics of Ormanlar Kralı. Instead of "sokaklarda" in "Köhne barlarında,çamurlu sokaklarda" he says "bataklarda"...so I just want to check that this means "in the muddy swamps"?

Cute try parti, but it means 'muddy lakes'.... Just kidding, swamps is right.
