First heard this recently on Mike D’s Echo Chamber episode with Altin Gün. I had never heard of the whole Anatolian rock genre before, pretty awesome scene, loads of rabbit holes to go down!
The rapper/producer Oh No sampled this song as a track called Heavy along with a bunch of other Mediterranean samples on the album Dr. No’s Oxperiment. I’ve loved this song since I first discovered it through Oh No.
Translated lyrics:
Flaked snow falls upon the poor
Why the faith is not taking the poor’s word
We’ve starved to death, come now sir please
Some are member of the parliament, some are governors, it’s forbidden for us to get educated
I can’t stand your fake pose anymore
We’re doomed, education to us, roads to us, life to us,
Come now sir, please, please, please, please, please please…
Why is it so hard to build new roads,
To build schools, to restore life
please, please, please, please please…
Why isn’t Urfa like your Istanbul?
Poor Maraş, dry Urfa, what about Diyarbakır?
We’re doomed, we’re dead, a drop of water
Come now sir, please…
We’re dead, send a letter, come now sir,
please, please, pleas, please, please please…
Why is it so hard to give lands,
To love, to know oneself
please, please, please, please please…
We weren’t born as lords, my friend,
Let’s live together, don’t think I’m upset with you,
I’m doomed, don’t be separated, come now, brother,
please, please, please, please, please please…
Why is it so hard to give lands,
To pay debts, to know oneself,
please, please, please brother please….
Off d topic and to make it clear, without offense. How do I pronounce surname?
I Read. “Bacon”.
Probably be ahae I’m hungry and want bacon.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

Love this track
The mighty Budos Band used to cover this track live with some frequency, and released a version (live) on a limited 12” too:

I can already hear that opening guitar riff without hitting play
Ozzy sounds crazy on this
Do you listen to Echo Chamber??
She has so many bangers my God
That time when elijah wood got an autograph from her, and she wasnt sure who he was. Bless her soul, she is a treasure.
