Tamirci Çýraðý (Cem Karaca)
gönlüme bir ateþ düþtü yanar ha yanar yanar
ümit gönlümün ekmeði umar ha umar umar
elleri ak yumuk yumuk , ojeli týrnaklarý
nerelere gizlesin þu avucum nasýrlarý
otomobili tamire geldi dün bizim tamirhaneye
görür görmez vurularak baþladým ben sevmeye
ayaðýnda uzun etek dalga dalga saçlarý
ustam seslendi uzaktan oðlum al takýmlarý
bi romanda okumuþtum buna benzer bir þeyi
cildi parlak kaðýt kaplý, pahalý bir kitaptý
ne olmuþ nasýl olmuþsa aþýk olmuþtu genç kýz
yine böyle bir durumda tamirci çýrapýna
ustama dedim ki bugün giymeyim tulumlarý
arkasý kuþlu aynamda taradým saçlarýmý
gelecekti bugün geri arabayý almaya
o romandaki hayali belki gerçek yapmaya
durdu zaman durdu dünya girdi içeri kapýdan
öylece bakakaldým gözümü ayýrmadan
arabanýn kapýsýný açtým , açtým girsin içeri
kalktý hilal kaþlarý sordu kim bu serseri
çekti gitti arabayla egzozuna boðuldum
gözümde tomurcuk yaþlar aðýr aðýr doðruldum
ustam geldi sýrtýma vurdu unut dedi romanlarý
iþçisin sen iþçi kal giy dedi tulumlarý
A CAR MECHANIC´S APPRENTICE
My heart caught fire it burns oh burns
hope is its only solace, it keeps hoping oh hoping
her baby hands were so white and and the nails polished
where would I hide the calluses in my palms
yesterday her car came to our garage for repairs
I fell for her immediately at first sight
she wore a long skirt and her hair was curly
my master yelled for me from afar: sonnie get your stuff, will you!
I had read something like this in a novel
it was a pricey book and had a glossy sleeve
this way or another, the young girl had fallen for the apprentice
in a setting almost exactly like this
I begged my master to let me lose the overalls just for today
I tidied up my hair in my cheap pocket mirror
She would come back today to reclaim the car
Maybe she would make the dream in that story come true
Time froze and the world stood still as she entered
I just kept staring at her not being able to look elsewhere
then I opened the door of the car to let her in
her crescent shaped eye-brows raised in anger and asked who´d this jerk be
she went away in that car leaving me in fumes
tear drops were forming in my eyes as I slowly raised
my master came by me saying forget about those novels
you are a worker, put on the overalls and continue to be one

Thank you!
I´ve seen/heard that video before, liked it, but wondered just what it was about. Althuogh the video sort of gives one an idea. Now I can listen, follow the words and have a better idea of what is being going on.
Such a dramatic song and video....!

This is a protest song from the 70´s. As far as I know both the lyrics and music belong to Cem Karaca.
Cem Karaca was born to Toto and Mehmet Karaca a prominent actress and an actor. Cem Karaca used to sing his songs with a theatrical intonation. Therefore, there was also a theatrical quality to his songs. He would present the listener a rich imagery and let you have your unique experience of the story he was telling. There will certainly not be another Cem Karaca though his school of music is still very much in fashion after all these years.
Thank you!
