Madenciden Lyrics English Translation

İndim maden ocağına kara elmas diyarına
I went down to the mine, to the land of black diamonds
Yeryüzü sıcak olsun diye dost
Friend so that the earth may be warm
Yıllar boyu kazma salladın suskunca bu zindanda
You have been swinging your pickaxe in silence for years in this dungeon.
Çocuklarım gülsün diye dost
Friend to make my children laugh
Oysa bizim evde gülen yok
However, there is no one smiling in our house.
Yürü derler yürü derler açlığa yürü derler
They say walk, they say walk, they say walk to hunger
Kara elmas tabut olmuş gerekirse ölün derler
Black diamond has become a coffin, they say die if necessary
Günü gelir utanmadan ağlaşana gülün derler dost
One day, my friend, they say laugh at those who cry shamelessly.
Yalanlara artık sabrım yok
I have no patience for lies anymore
Bugün maden ocağına kara elmas diyarına
Today, to the mine, to the land of black diamonds
İnmedik selam olsun sana dost
We did not land, greetings to you friend.
Ölesiye ışık hasretiyle solmuş bu yüzlere
To these faces that have faded with a deathly longing for light
Grev grev güneş doğmuş dost
Strike strike sunrise friend
Artık kaybedecek bir şey yok
There's nothing to lose anymore
Yeraltında ezilenler yeryüzüne seslenirler
Those oppressed underground call out to the earth
Madenler bizim derler gerekirse ölüm derler
They say the mines are ours, they say death if necessary
Günü geldi grev derler günü geldi grev derler dost
They say the day has come to strike, they say the day has come to strike, friend.
Artık kaybedecek bir şey yok
There's nothing to lose anymore
