Yürüyorum Dikenlerin Üstünde (Canlı) Meaning & Lyrics (Cem Erdost İLeri)
Hasan Kaplan writes with direct, physical language, describing a path littered with thorns. The songwriter mentions wounded feet and a ruined village to show a difficult personal journey. The line, ‘They’ve locked the doors, just come to me,’ acts as a plea for connection.
Karanlık bir gece yol görünmüyorIt’s a dark night, the path isn’t visible.
Yürüyorum dikenlerin üstündeI’m walking on thorns.
Kara çalı bana aman vermiyorThe black bramble gives me no mercy.
Yürüyorum dikenlerin üstündeI’m walking on thorns.
Sonlanmadı menzil ile durağımMy journey and destination haven’t ended.
Belki çok yakınım belki ırağımMaybe I’m very close, maybe I’m far away.
Yaralandı parça parça ayağımMy feet are wounded, torn to pieces.
Yürüyorum dikenlerin üstündeI’m walking on thorns.
Asri gurbet harap etmiş köyümüModern exile has ruined my village.
Kapıları kitledirler gel heleThey’ve locked the doors, just come to me.
Ben ağayım ben paşayım diyenlerThose who claim to be lords and pashas,
Kapıları kitlediler gel helethey’ve locked the doors, just come to me.
Gel hele de kömür gözlüm gel heleJust come to me, my coal-eyed one, come to me.
Gel hele de dudu dillim gel heleJust come to me, my sweet-talking one, come to me.
Yavaş yavaş ilerlerken KaplaniAs Kaplani slowly moves forward,
Benim ile yola çıkanlar haniwhere are those who started this journey with me?
Geri dönsem taşa tutar el beniIf I turn back, strangers will throw stones at me.
Yürüyorum dikenlerin üstündeI’m walking on thorns.
