Barış Manço - Nick The Chopper

Down in the forest,near a village
ormanin asagisinda,bir köyün yaninda
Lived the man called,nick the chopper
nich the chopper adinda adam yasardi
Chopping woods his game,and making money
agaclari(koruyu)kesmek onun oyunuydu,ve(bundan) para yapmak
Caring not for trees,he blindly chops on
agaclari umursamadan,o körü körüne balta salliyor(du)
Never to be married
asla(hicbir zaman)evlenmedi
He never washes
o asla yikanmaz
He never went to school,Nick The Chopper
o asla okula gitmedi,nick the chopper
Chopping woods his game,and getting money
agaclari kesmek onun oyunuydu,ve para elde etmek(kazanmak)
Doesn't care for life or even for a friend now
simdi hayati yada bir arkadasini bile umursamiyor(aldirmiyor)
He is a dirty old man,Nick the Chopper
o kirli yasli bir adamdir,nick the chopper
Now,a very old man he had decided
simdi,cok yasli bir adam o karar vermisti
To make his fortune,Nick the Chopper talihini(kaderini)yapmaya,nick the chopper
Chopping woods his game,he couldn't stop it
agaclari(koruyu)kesmek onun oyunuydu,o onu(ormani kesmeyi)durduramadi
He wants to cut down,all the forest
bütün ormani kesip yerle bir etmek istiyor
The trees they hated him,they made a promise
agaclar onlar ondan nefret ettiler,onlar bir söz verdiler
Give him a lesson,Nick the Chopper
ona bir ders vermeye,nick the chopper
Chopping woods his game,he couldn't stop it
agaclari(koruyu)kesmek onun oyunuydu,o onu(ormani kesmeyi)durduramadi
But as the story goes,he's beaten at his game
fakat hikaye devam ederken,o oyununda yenilir
He is a dirty old man,Nick the Chopper
o kirli yasli bir adamdir,nick the chopper
We're gonna kill you,Nick the Chopper
seni öldürecegiz,nick the chopper
Strangle you with branches,Nick the Chopper
seni dallarla bogarak,nick the chopper
