Kusu Kalkmaz
Sultana Lyrics

Bi zavalli hatçe düsmüs bi kere
A poor woman has fallen once

Çalisir pavyonda küsmüs felege
She works in the nightclub and is angry at fate

Açmis kalçasini tef-tef çalar
She dances provocatively, shaking her hips

Sallar çalkalar her gece
She sways and shakes every night

Sulanir hergele salyasi akar
She attracts men like a deer, drooling and slobbering

Döndü'ya kalkmayani hatçe'ye kalkar
Those who do not go to Döndü's come to the nightclub

Hergeleye baksaniza hergeleye
Look at the men, just look at them

Maskesi düsmüs dönmüs kelege
Their masks have fallen, revealing their true selves

Koca esek hergele sen nereye
Where are you going, worthless man?

Böyle telasli telasli acelece
Hurrying and rushing like this

Çikinca isinden her gece
When she finishes work every night

Kos kos meyhaneye
She rushes to the bar

Kerhaneye hos hos
She enters the brothel, smiling

Sonra (niye) gelir evine bos bos
Then she comes home empty-handed

[Chorus]

Döndü'ye gelince (hikaye)
When it comes to Döndü (the pimp)

Bekler onu evinde her gece
She waits for him at home every night

Hazir aksam sofrasi
There's a dinner table ready

Çorbasi salatasi
Soup and salad

Agizlara layik kadinbudu köfte
Meatballs good enough to make your mouth water

Bekler de bekler
She keeps waiting and waiting

Sevgili herifi nerde
Where is her beloved (Döndü)?

Bilmezki meyhane de kafayi çekmis
He doesn't know that he's at the bar, drunk

Sarhos o! mayhos o!
He's wasted, completely out of it

Yedirmis hatçeye
He's spent all his money on the other women

Para yok cebinde
He's broke

Yazik döndü laf edemez katlanir
Poor Döndü, he can't say anything and just puts up with it

Yoksa yer tokat tekme kapaklanir
Otherwise, he'll get slapped or beaten up

Sabreyle isine hayir gelsin
Just be patient and good luck with your work

Derler ya basina
As they say, it's your headache

Iki çocukla döndü n'apsa bosuna
What will Döndü do with two kids for nothing?

Hersey basta hos ama
Everything seems fine at first

Piçi çikti sonunda
But in the end, he turns out to be a bastard

Günah yapanin boynuna
The sinner will be held responsible

[Chorus]

Kusu kalkmaz
Your bird can't fly

Kusu kusu kalkmaz
No matter how hard it tries

Canin kusu kalkmaz
Your soul can't fly

Kusu kalkmaz
It just can't fly
