Bindik Bir Alamete Gidiyoz Kıyamete [English translation]

This is not a good sign

The thing you called “the road”

Should reach somewhere like a road does.

But, we run in circles

Going nowhere fast

This is a vicious circle

That won’t get you anywhere.

I keep circling

There is no way out at the end.

This is not a good sign

Local and general elections

Ok, you go ahead and elect

So that we keep circling

And arrive at the same point

Mobs fight with mobs

Mobs in mobs…

We are in deep shit

Cafer! Bring a napkin!

This is not a good sign

I don’t come to my senses with an advice,

Therefore, I should be reprimanded.

If reprimanding is not enough,

Then I deserve to be beaten.

In good old days, like a decent man

We used to eat appetizers.

Now, as if we are eating appetizers

We are eating decent men (ruining them)

Then you have it coming, man.

Chatting at the village coffee house:

A couple of prime ministers(!) sitting in the coffee house…

Oh my god…

Believe me; we are worth the world.

Can anybody beat us, eh?

You are right, Huseyin aga

Really, what is gonna happen now? What do you think?

I mean, what’s gonna happen? Nothing.

But, we are gonna in circles going nowhere fast

Now, I think, I mean…

That tobacco matter…

What’s the basic price for tobacco gonna be?

The new government…

Is it gonna raise or lower

the basic tobacco price?

What are you talking about Huseyin Cavus (Huseyin the Liutenant)?

I mean, what can I say?

This is what I believe…

Don’t trust Ottomans’ word…

This is not a good sign(x2)
