Yedikule Lyrics English Translation

Haber uçtu devlete de beş yıl yattım hapiste
The news spread to the state and I spent five years in prison.
Yedi düvel zindanından beterdir Yedikule
Yedikule is worse than the Seven World Dungeons
Yedi düvel zindanından beterdir Yedikule
Yedikule is worse than the Seven World Dungeons
Nargilem duman duman ah bayıldım aman aman
My hookah is smoke, smoke, oh, I love it, oh my.
İstanbul güzel ama ah zabitleri pek yaman
Istanbul is beautiful but its officers are so bad
Beş yıl bana yaraştı da nargilem buna şaştı
Five years was good for me, but my hookah was surprised by this
Her gün çizdim usturamla bağlamam doldu taştı
I drew every day with my razor, my baggage was overflowing
Her gün çizdim usturamla bağlamam doldu taştı
I drew every day with my razor, my baggage was overflowing
Sarma cigaram yanar ah çekerim ağar ağar
Don't roll my cigarette, it burns, I sigh, it gets louder
Tekkemiz güzel ama haber uçuranlar var
Our lodge is beautiful, but there are those who spread the news
Nargilemin marpucu da, gümüştendir gümüşten
The lance of my hookah is also made of silver.
Beş değil onbeş yıl olsa, ben vazgeçmem bu işten
Even if it takes fifteen years, not five, I won't give up on this job.
Beş değil onbeş yıl olsa, ben vazgeçmem bu işten
Even if it takes fifteen years, not five, I won't give up on this job.
Nargilem duman duman ah bayıldım aman aman
My hookah is smoke, smoke, oh, I love it, oh my.
İstanbul güzel ama ah zabitleri pek yaman
Istanbul is beautiful but its officers are so bad
