Barış Manço the funky ashik (trad. sing and songwriter) of 1960:ies Turkey.
Mehmet Aga with the yellow boots
Write down friend(Yaz dostum)
Write down friend
Would you call him a man if he doesn't like the fair?
Write down friend
Would you call him gallant if he doesn't recieve salute?
Write down friend
Does it worth just for a 5 meter long fabric?
Write down friend
Would you call it life if it is spent in vain?
Write again to the board, grab your books and notebooks
Mehmet the landowner with yellow wellingtons,
Some day sure he'll pay his debt
Write down friend
If you see a needy feed him with kajmak and honey
Write down friend
Dress up the poor with silk and shawl
Write down friend
If you see an orphan wrap him tight with your arms
Write down friend
Nobody departs from this world with their belongings
Write again to the board, grab your books and notebooks,
Mehmet the landowner with yellow wellingtons,
Some day sure he'll pay his debt
Write down friend
Barış talks but does he learn a lesson from it
Write down friend
Does it remain if you write on the water
Write down friend
A world where right and wrong got mixed up
Write down friend
You can't fill the empty, could you fill the full?
Write again to the board, grab your books and notebooks,
Mehmet the landowner with yellow wellingtons,
Some day sure he'll pay his debt
