This was taken from another forum:

lyrics site

"kolbastý or bastý is a folk dance seen on the video peculiar to that locality. here kol is an armed troop in charge of protecting the order and security in rural areas, outside the police responsibility zones. as mentioned later in the lyrics, this is jandarma (from french gendarme), somewhat similar to the rangers. bastý, past tense from basmak, means busted (for police). surprisingly, the two words almost sound and mean the same in this sense. so the meaning is "the gendarme busted". the reason to name the dance with this phrase has to do with something in the early years of the turkish republic, which i won´t attempt to explain."
