Sayın Türk
Şehinşah Lyrics

Bir kibrit al
Buy a match

Sigara yak da kutuyu çalma gider ayak
Light up a cigarette, but don't steal the box and walk away

Fikre bak, fiktif harp, ekmek arası ittifak
Think about fictional wars and alliances between meals

Afganistan istila, Irak'ta bitti şimdi var
After invading Afghanistan and Iraq, they're now targeting the countries with impoverished people and depleted resources

Sırada kafası bitli, cebi delikli, pili bitik diyar
Next, they'll target a land with lice-infested heads, empty pockets, and dead batteries

Habur'un kapısı kirişi Amerikan rüyası girişi
The gate of Habur is the entrance to the American dream

Yer Kerkük, gereken emir, sikeyim yapacağın işi
Kirkuk is where they'll issue commands, but they can go to hell with their orders

Çişini bile mutabakat fişiyle bitiren işini nasıl yapar
How can one do their job while being controlled even down to when they take a piss?

Bir numaralı önceliği başörtüsü iken eşinin
Her number one priority should be her husband's preferences regarding her headscarf

Burada saf, neşeli halk, mayınla kanka yalın ayak
Here, the innocent and happy people are walking barefoot with landmines as their friends

Hayatla dost hayatı yaşayan kolu kopuk bir yavrucak
A tiny child with a severed arm, still living as if life is his friend

Tabiri caizse durumun tarifi hazin
To put it bluntly, the situation is pathetic

Ama gene de var Allah'ım, hali
But still, God, there is hope

Ben Şehinşah, felaketin eşiği
I am Şehinşah, standing on the brink of disaster

Kuram kural değil, Kur'an kural değil
It's not about theories or rules, it's about the Quran's teachings

Buram buram din istismarı var
Religion is being exploited to the fullest

Diyanet istihdamı var
The Religious Affairs Directorate is a job provider

Laiklik istikbali kalmış istiklal karşıtı
Secularism has become the enemy of independence, and the future is uncertain

Pisliklere siktirip gidin silahlanıp
Tell those scums to fuck off and arm yourselves

Biz silmeden sizi
We won't stop until we eliminate you

Çok sevdiğin bariz hayli kanıksadın yemini
You've taken your solemn oath for granted

Temini yok verdiğin vaadin hazırladın zemini
You promised what you couldn't deliver, and now you've paved the way for it

Zehiri sok, ver damardan hatırlayın geçmişi
Inject the poison, and remember the past through your veins

Bu değil miydi mümin kisvesiyle yeren laikliği
Weren't you the one who criticized secularism under the guise of being a devout believer?

Mamafih müşküllere muhasebe memati
Regardless, we must account for the problems we face

Lakin ki fakir muharebedeki tek enayi
But unfortunately, the poor are the only fools who fight in battles

Ne var ki barış için el ele ver ekâbir
However, in order to achieve peace, everyone should join forces

Geberene dek katile katil olalım haydi
Let's embrace the role of murderer until death takes us all

Gaftan gafa kaf dağ yüksekliğinde lafla
Spewing words as tall as a mountain with no cohesion

Teleferik çekti baştan ayağa kadar koktu başkan!
The president stunk from head to toe after pulling a publicity stunt

Ağma vatandaşlar bağla seçim sandıklarına
Citizens, get ready and tie your shoes for election day

Kelle diye hitap et benim şehit sandıklarıma
Address my martyr's gravesites with the utmost respect

Lanet olsun teröre de
Damn terrorism

Lanet olsun sana da
Damn you too

Lanet olsun sayın sıfatı yakıştırdığın adama da
Damn that man you referred to as 'dear' as well

Habur kapısına bağlayıp
Tie them up at the gate of Habur

Tabur tabur vekil yakın ki
Send them in by the platoon of representatives

Gerçek kambur orası parlamento asıl hasım
The true enemy is the Parliament itself, with all its flaws

Sayın Türk (sayın Türk)
Dear Turk

Gezer (gezer)
You roam around

Cebren ve hile ile korku kol
An atmosphere of forced control and intimidation

Türk (sayın Türk)
Turk

Neden? (neden?)
Why? (Why?)

Hukuku kuşanacak oldu o
He put on a law but...

Sayın Türk
Dear Turk

Hemen
Immediately

Vuku bul uyanacak olgu çok
A lot of entities will emerge when this happens

Şunu kafana kazı
Keep this in mind always

Umudu kuşatacak ordu yok
There is no army to surround the hope

12 yıldır aynı sömürü
The same exploitation for 12 years

Süre gelen kim örtsün üstü
Who will cover it up when it's been going on for so long?

Yazalı 7 yıl oldu tahminen ilk verse'ün sözünü
It's been about 7 years since the first verse was written, I estimate

Vardır her kabahatin bir sözlük özürü
Every crime has its own apology in the dictionary

Sil yaşlı gözünü
Wipe away your old tears

Çözüm savaş kaybetmeden özünü
Find a solution without losing your true self

Sayın Türk, Sayın Kürt
Dear Turk, dear Kurd

Ayıklayıp, ayır Türk
Sort through and differentiate the Turks

Zayıf, güçlü, çarık, çürük
Weak, strong, worn, and rotten

Kayırmaya bayıl Türk
The Turks love to play favorites

Yakıp, yıkıp dalgalandır o bayrağını
Hoist that flag by burning, destroying, and waving it

Yayıl Türk, hayır Türk
Spread, Turk, do good, Turk

Dağıldı Ottoman Empire ayıl Türk
The Ottoman Empire has fallen, wake up, Turk

Senin zayıf yanın güç
Your weak point is strength

Güce bayıldın sayın Türk
Dear Turk, you've fallen in love with power

Hayıflanıp ayıplarınla zayıfladın sayın Türk
You've become weak by lamenting and dwelling on your faults, dear Turk

Tarihine tanık kayıtlar
Historical evidence bears witness

Haliyle kayıp Türk
So, the Turk is lost

Öyle zayıfsın ki Tayyip'e sarıldın ayıp Türk
You're so weak that you've resorted to embracing Tayyip, shameful Turk

Ayıp Türk, özün bir göçebeydi yarın yük
Shame on you, Turk, tomorrow your burden will be your nomadic roots

Yalın hür yürürdün hayrı alamete bayır bük
Once you walked free and barefoot, chasing good signs on the hills and in the fields

Cayır mülkün, Ay'ın ülkün, anın türkülerdi
Your songs once described the vast land and the aspirations of the moon

Sayın Türk şimdi bastığın çayırda mayın pür
Dear Turk, now you tread on fields filled with mines

Neden? (neden?)
Why? (Why?)

Şunu kafana kazı
Keep this in mind always
