A Strange Man Şiiri - Kasım Kobakçı

Suphi suphi is a strange man,
Suphi suphi is my dear liver.

Nobody knows where he is from.

Suphi suphi is a strange man,
Suphi suphi shuts up, it's evening.

Dascapital in a pocket,
Cannabis seeds in a pocket.

Suphi suphi is a strange man,
Suphi suphi is my dear liver.

In resignation in a boat left by the storm,
With his magnificent beard and makeshift parka,
There lived a strange man with his hidden adventure,
In the evenings, he would be silent, if I spoke, he would blush.

It was a town of exile, it was an old time,
It was June, I was a child, I ran away from home,
I came and took refuge in him,
A small one, it fit.

Maybe it was he who discovered this place,
In the distance the lights of the town were on,
I was filled with my mother, I cried,
Suphi would take a glance.

A secret cigarette would turn yellow and cry,
Then we would make up, I would play the flute,
The cigarette would go out, he would cry,
I didn't know where it came from.

He was orphaned, maybe without an identity,
His adventure would interest him,
He didn't care about anyone, he always cursed something,
He slept like a restless fish.

Sometimes I would get lost,
He stood in the rain,
He had a thick book in his pocket,
He would read every day, I wouldn't understand anything.

As soon as I watched the cover,
It was a bearded picture, who was it, how flattering it was,
I asked Suphi one day,
Why can't I understand what you're saying?

He said what he knows, face life,
And don't be afraid to test,
Then you can separate right from wrong,
And you can understand it.

Then he laughed,
My days would be spent wondering about hundreds of details,
Then it would be evening again, Suphi kept silent,
He would get angry if I spoke.

Seagulls aboard the boat,
My heart would burn for Suphi, I would cry,
Suphi used to spit into the sea,
Scanned the sky and cried.

Then we would make up, I would play the flute,
The stars would fall, we would cry.

Suphi suphi is a strange man,
Suphi suphi my dear liver.

Nobody knows where he is from.

Suphi suphi is a strange man,
Suphi suphi shuts up, it's evening.

Dascapital in a pocket,
Cannabis seeds in a pocket.

Suphi suphi is a strange man,
Suphi suphi is my dear liver.

It was a town of exile, it was an old time,
It was June, I was a child, I ran away from home,
I came and took refuge in him,
One day something went wrong and my mother found me.

Suphi escaped and disappeared, the town was shaken,
It happened, I kept silent, my blood froze,
When the cops found him he was the only one, it was a disaster,
Everyone gathered in the square.

It was like a proud rifle as he entered the police station,
He suddenly turned and looked at me and said, "Do you understand?"
I said I got it, I got it,
And never after that day,
I have never cried anywhere.
