Kral Çıplak
Haluk Levent Lyrics

Fermanlar verildi
Orders were given

Perdeler gerildi
Curtains were drawn

Halılar serildi
Carpets were laid out

Dediler, kral bugün görünecek
They said the king will appear today

Dediler, gören herkes sevinecek
They said everyone who sees him will rejoice

Haberler salındı
News was spread around

Tedbirler alındı
Precautions were taken

Davullar çalındı
Drums were beaten

Anne bak, kral çıplak
Mother, look, the king is naked

Anne bak, anne bak
Mother, look, look

Kral çıplak göründü
The king appeared naked

Saray dehşete büründü
The palace was filled with horror

Ağlar gibi gülündü
He laughed as if he were crying

Dediler, kral meğer çıplakmış
They said the king was actually naked

Dediler, tören değil tuzakmış
They said it was a trap, not a ceremony

Hikâye tutmadı
The story didn't stick

Ahali yutmadı
The public didn't believe it

Çocuklar kutlandı
The children were celebrated

Uzun, kısa bir öykü bu
This is a short, long story

Sıradan, sessiz bir film gibi
Like an ordinary, silent film

Görevim anlatmak oldu
It became my duty to tell

Akıtmak bendeki zehri
To pour out the poison in me

Yıllar önce bir genç vardı
Years ago, there was a young man

Yüreğini yakan bir sevda
A love that burned his heart

Işıklar sönük kaldı
The lights dimmed

Her şey böyle başladı
Everything started like this

Tutunmuştu köşe başı
He had held onto the street corner

Kalmamıştı açık kapı
There was no open door left

Var olmaktı tek sorunu
His only problem was to exist

Kaçtı durdu yıllar boyu
He ran away and stood there for years

Sonra bakmış, dünya yokmuş
Then he looked and saw the world was gone

Umutları göçmüş gitmiş
His hopes had vanished

Parasızlık yalan sarmış
Poverty had wrapped him in lies

Çareyi kaçmakta bulmuş
He found the solution in running away

Gördü bunu, hayra yordu
He saw this and interpreted it as good

Güzel şeyler istiyordu
He wanted beautiful things

Oysa güzel artık vardı
But now there was beauty

Çok paraya satılıktı
It was for sale for a lot of money

Çürük çarklar, büyük çarklar
Rotten gears, big gears

Birbirinden ne anlar?
What do they understand from each other?

Döner durur, zevke dalar
They turn and enjoy themselves

Yeni dişliler arar
They look for new teeth

Kendi oldu, kendi dişli
He became his own gear

Bilmediği yola girdi
He went down a path he didn't know

Gördü bütün gerçekleri
He saw all the truths

Sustu durdu herkes gibi
He stayed quiet like everyone else

Şehir, heyecan
The city, the excitement

Bunu da kendinden yaptı
He did this himself

Beyaz saçlar, gözler söndü
White hair, eyes dimmed

Düşündeki düşte kaldı
He was lost in his thoughts

Haluk uzak kendine
Haluk is far from himself

Kalmamış derman derdine
There is no remedy left for his pain

Yok sorunum, mükemmelim
I have no problems, I'm perfect

Dese de inanma sözüne
Don't believe his words, even if he says so

Kral ner'de? diye sorma
Don't ask where the king is

Sende, bende, bizde, onda
He is in you, me, us, and them

Çıplak diyen kral olur
He who calls himself naked becomes king

Taç giyer, oturur tahtına
He puts on a crown and sits on his throne

Patron bur'da, köyde ağa
The boss is here, the landlord in the village

Evde koca, okulda hoca
At home there is a husband, at school there is a teacher

Dayı, baba, abi, ana
Uncle, father, brother, mother

Kral vardır her tarafta
The king is everywhere

Krallıklar ülkesinde
In the kingdom of kingdoms

Doldurur seven kesesini
He fills his lover's purse

Haluk görür kaybedeni
Haluk sees the loser

Ne zaman baksa aynaya
Whenever he looks in the mirror

İtaat et, biz kralız
Obey, we are kings

Toz kondurma kendimize
Don't make dust for ourselves

Aslında yok terzi bile
Actually, there isn't even a tailor

Giysileri biz yaparız
We make our own clothes
