''Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz..''

Το έσοπτρο είναι ένας λαβύρινθος αντικαθρεφτισμάτων στο άγιο Βουνό τού ανατολικού αντάρτικου.
 
Ιωάννης Τζανάκος 


 
''Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz..''
 
''Dağlardan hesap sorulmaz..''
He was a puissant young guy
But, he was too little in my eyes
He got mad, and so went up to the mountains*
I don't know whether he would come down or not
He is now the dust of the mountains
Maybe, the melody (the instrument) of the rebellion
He is still the sting in my heart
I don't know whether it would heal or not
His name is Yılmaz, he himself is also indomitable*
He doesn't have a high status, you simply cannot flatter him*
You cannot ask the mountains any questions
I don't know whether he would come back or not
His blue eyes are just like pearls*
His fear of death is as little as that
The death angel's horse is bitchy
I don't know whether he would get on or not
It had snowed on his anorak*
He had cried in a corner
Maybe, his hands had gotten burned
I don't know whether it would be put out or not
His name is Yılmaz, he himself is also indomitable
He is free of states, you cannot play up to him
You cannot ask the mountains for an explanation
I don't know whether he would come back or not

* He means: He got mad at injustice and because of that he decided to rebel
*Yılmaz is a name and means "indomitable/not giving up".
It can also be a family name but it's well used by left orientated people.
*This is very difficult, it means also like:
"You cannot order him something to do"
"He cannot be commanded"
"It won't work if you would flatter him"
"You cannot have something you like if you play up to him" etc...
But this is a wordplay. "Makam" in the sentence before means also: "concept of melodic creation that determines tonal relations".
"Dem tutmak" in that sentence means:
"To accompany a piece of music" - "To sing/to accompany/make music together with others"
*He means his eyes are turquoise blue
Direct translation of "Boncuk" is "Bead"
He says "eyes like beads because of these typical blue beads in form of blue eyes for the protection of devil eyes.
*Parka/Anorak was a typical clothe of left orientated people in 60's and 70's.
