Tezgahtar Nebahat - Ahmet Kaya

Tezgâhtar bir kızdı o, permalı saçlarıyla

Herkese gülümserdi süzgün bakışlarıyla

Anasının elinden kaçırıp birkaç kuruş

Konserlere giderdi çılgın gözyaşlarıyla

Kırmızı hırkasıyla resimler çektirirdi

Keşfedilmek için hep Beyoğlu'nda gezerdi

Her akşam o şarkıcı, duvardaki posterden

Uzanıp rüya gibi dudağından öperdi

Ah, Nebahat, Nebahat

Bir gün görmedi rahat

Düşünür bulamazdı;

Kimdeydi bu kabahat?

Tezgâhtar bir kızdı o evi Sağmalcılar'da

Altı kardeş bir ana, birde kötürüm baba

İçki kumar peşinde boş vermiş bir abisi

Devlete karşı gelmiş bir ablası mahpusta

Kırmızı hırkasını ah seneler eskitti

Sonunda rüyasını sandığına kilitledi

Mahalleden biriyle heveslendi sevmeye

Hayırsız çıktı oğlan, zengin bir dula gitti

Ah, Nebahat, Nebahat

Ona gülmedi hayat

Sonunda anladı ki

Kendindeydi kabahat

She was a shop assistant, with her permed hair

He used to smile at everyone with his smooth eyes

He stole a few pennies from his mother's hands.

He used to go to concerts with crazy tears

He used to take pictures with his red cardigan

He always wandered around Beyoğlu to be discovered.

Every evening that singer sings from the poster on the wall

He would reach out and kiss her on the lips like a dream

Oh, Nebahat, Nebahat

Didn't see a day comfortably

The thinker could not find it;

Whose fault was this?

She was a clerk girl, her house is in Sağmalcılar

Six siblings one mother and one crippled father

A brother who has given up on drinking and gambling

An older sister who has opposed the state is in prison

Oh, he's worn out his red cardigan over the years.

He finally locked his dream in his chest

He was eager to love with someone from the neighborhood

The boy turned out to be bad, went to a rich widow

Oh, Nebahat, Nebahat

Life didn't laugh at him

Finally realized that

it was his fault
