Alevi-Bektashi Sayings and Semahs - Ben Melamet Hırkasını
Ben melamet hırkasını
Kendim giydim eğnime
Ar ü namus şişesini
Taşa çaldım kime ne
Haydar Haydar taşa çaldım kime ne Sofular haram demişler
Aşkımın şarabına
Ben doldurur ben içerim
Günah benim kime ne
Haydar Haydar günah benim kime ne Gah çıkarım gökyüzüneAlevi-Bektashi Sayings and Semahs - Ben Melamet Hırkasını - http://motolyrics.com/alevi-bektashi-sayings-and-semahs/ben-melamet-hirkasini-lyrics-english-translation.html
Seyrederim alemi
Gah inerim yeryüzüne
Seyreder alem beni
Haydar Haydar seyreder alem beni Nesimi'yi sorsalar kim
Yarin ile hoş musun
Hoş olam ya olmayayım
O yar benim kime ne
Haydar Haydar o yar benim kime ne
Alevi-Bektashi Sayings and Semahs - The Cardigan of Modesty (English translation)
I wore the cardigan of modesty* on me
Threw the bottle of rectitude on the ground, who cares
Haydar Haydar, I threw it, who cares
Devotees says it's sinful
It's sinful, the wine of my love
It's me that pours and drinks the wine
It's a sin of mine, who cares
Haydar Haydar, it's my sin, who cares
Sometimes I fly high above
Watching the earthAlevi-Bektashi Sayings and Semahs - Ben Melamet Hırkasını - http://motolyrics.com/alevi-bektashi-sayings-and-semahs/ben-melamet-hirkasini-lyrics-english-translation.html
Sometimes I go down on earth
The earth watches me
Haydar Haydar, the earth watches me
Go ask Nesimi**
Are you and your lover going along well?
Whatever the answer is
She's my lover, who cares
Haydar Haydar, she's my lover, who cares
*: By modesty, I refer to a cult of Islam called "melamilik" that is devoted to modesty, humiliation and living in purity.
**: Nesimi is a Soufi philosopher and poet.
