Paha
Tamah esiri paha
Vakte ediyor rica
Zaman zamana masraf
Koyver cebime Lira
Helal haramın kârı
Sultan yiyince saklı
Acı ekşiye eşit
Vaka vakite saplı
Çeksin elveda uşak
Bulur ülküsü bucak
Tamam durumu tahmin
Papel kuyuda sıcak
Diyor sahtekâr Hızır
Mutsuz mutluyu ısır
Evet maskara maşuk
Kahpe yarine kısır

THE PRICE OF VALUE
Prisoner of greed, good old pride
Makes a request from time that lied
Time is the expense of itself,
which climb
Slip a Lira into my pocket,
for just a dime!
Wrongful gains are thought blessed
When a ruler feasts on ill-begotten profits
Bitter may become sour,
too quickly digested
From time to time and in cases where it fits,
- if in a dog-hungry manner they're ingested
Let the youth bid farewell
Until he finds an ideal parish to dwell
Expected forecasts of his situation
only time can tell
His playing card, the money,
is hot but in some deep well!
Once a venerable savior,
now the phony Green Giant says:
"Unhappy people!
go and bite the happy ones,
nothing less!"
Yeah!
That clown is still beloved
but still such a silly ass!
Yet, even a sterile backstabber,
barred a lover,
ought to touch the grass!
