Daglara Kustum
Zülfü Livaneli
I Turned My Back on the Mountains
I’ve fallen on your dusty roads
The thugs have cut off the water
I’ve given my heart to the roads
I don’t know who will wipe my tears
(Chorus)
I’m out to get myself, Ali
I’ve turned my back on the mountains, Ali
In tough times, my friend, Ali
Don’t judge my state
Don’t tie my hands
Open up my paths
I’ve come to your door from the hands of the oppressor
I’m drowning in a sea of blood
Help me, oh saints, I’ve lost my soul
I don’t know who will bandage my wounds
Chorus
