Mabel Matiz – Öyle Kolaysa

Yaşadık be tamam
Anladıysak ne gam
Bir sofrada bin saf tutulmuş
Görmüyorsan devam

Ağlarım gülerim
Aynı tas ve hamam
Adamım, kaygan kanun bu
Düşerim uyamam

Kalmasın bak elinde
Gönül bu yerme yerinme
Ve dünya bir çölse, durma
Seraba su getir

Öyle kolaysa gel başımdan
Kaldır at sevdanı
Dertli saz bu boşa çalınmaz
(Dertli sazdım boşa çalınmazdım)
Çaldığın reva mı

Satmam!
Bu dert benim hem ağam hem paşam!
Öğrenirim onunla kendimi
Direnenler yaşar

so we’ve lived so far, so good
what have we figured out, not much
a thousand sides taken around a single table
if you’re blind to all that, then press on

I cry and I laugh
it’s the same old story
my man, this is the slippery law
I may fall along the way, but I won’t step in line

see, don’t break it
it’s called the heart, don’t slander, don’t regret
and if the world is a desert, don’t hold back
bring water to the mirage

if it’s that easy, come and relieve me of your love
this is the suffering saz, never play it in vain
so do I deserve you playing it

if it’s that easy, come and relieve me of your love
I am the suffering saz, never play me in vain
so do I deserve you playing me

I won’t sell out! this cause is both my master and my pasha
it’s through my pain that I discover myself
and it’s those who resist who manage to live
