Bruder, sag mir, was ist Heimat
Brother, tell me, what is home
Heimat ist dort, wo ich ein Heim hab'
Home is where I have a home
Doch stell' dir vor, dort war ich noch keinmal
But imagine, I've never been there before
Köln ist in meinem Herzen drin, doch „Nerelisin?'
Cologne is in my heart, but "Nerelisin?"
Das ist eine ganz wichtige Frage bei uns, woher wir sind
That's a very important question for us, where we are from
Die kommt dir schnell in den Sinn, nach „Hallo, wie heißt du?'
It quickly comes to mind, after 'Hello, what's your name?'
Ich bin Ek und komm' aus Sivas, so, jetzt weißt du's
I'm Ek and I'm from Sivas, so, now you know
Und wenn du deine Heimat auch nur ab und zu heimsuchst
And even if you only haunt your homeland once in a while
Bist du klar im Vorteil, denn ich kam noch keinmal dazu
You're clearly at an advantage, because I didn't get around to it again
Es ist mir unangenehm, ich hab' nie meine Wurzeln gesehen
I'm uncomfortable, I've never seen my roots
Und es versäumt, mal diese Stadt durchzugehen
And fails to go through this city
Denn es ist leider 'ne Schande, dass ich sie einfach nicht kannte
Because it's a shame that I just didn't know her
Von wo meine Verwandten und ich eigentlich stammten
Where my relatives and I actually came from
Irgendwie schäm' ich mich dafür, dass ich nie dagewesen bin
Somehow I'm ashamed that I was never there
Ist es nicht grad des Lebens Sinn, dass wir erfahren, wer wir sind?
Isn't it the meaning of life that we experience who we are?
Ich nehm' den Orient Express, auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
I take the Orient Express, in search of paradise
Dass man in Zukunft sieht, welches Blut in meinen Adern fließt
That in the future you can see what blood flows in my veins
Sivas'ın yollarına
Sivas'ın yollarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Bırak ben beni vuram
Bırak ben beni vuram
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Der Orient Express
The Orient Express
Sivas'ın yollarına
Sivas'ın yollarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Bırak ben beni vuram
Bırak ben beni vuram
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Schwester, sag mir, was ist Heimat
Sister, tell me what is home
Heimat ist, was dein Leben freimacht
Home is what makes your life free
Doch wenn du nicht mal weißt wo, ist das nicht einfach
But if you don't even know where, it's not easy
Ich bleib wach bei Nacht in meinem Abteil
I stay awake at night in my compartment
Und denke nach, wie wird meine Heimat wohl sein
And think, what will my home be like
Ist es ein toller Ort, bin ich willkommen dort
Is it a great place, I'm welcome there
Oder kräht kein Hahn nach mir, wenn ich durch die Stadt spazier'
Or doesn't a rooster crow for me when I walk through the city
Mein Türkisch, es verschwindet, ich kann's fast nicht mehr sprechen
My Turkish, it disappears, I can hardly speak it anymore
Aber irgendwie verbindet mich hier was mit den Menschen
But somehow something connects me here with the people
Denn ihr seht so aus wie ich und ich seh' so aus wie ihr
'Cause you look like me and I look like you
Sivas, ich kenn' dich nicht, warum sehn' ich mich nach dir
Sivas, I don't know you, why do I long for you
Meine Seele, sie gefriert, es war so, wie es mein Herz befahl
My soul, it's freezing, it was as my heart commanded
Denn ich betrete deinen Boden jetzt zum ersten Mal
'Cause I'm stepping on your ground for the first time now
Und weil ich bis jetzt meinem Opa auf den Fersen war
And because I've been hot on my grandpa's heels until now
Möchte ich wissen, wie die Sonne oben auf die Berge strahlt
I want to know how the sun shines on the mountains
Zeig mir den Weg, wenn ich mich auf die Reise begeb'
Show me the way when I go on the journey
Dede, ich hab's geschafft, doch du kannst es leider nicht sehen
Dede, I did it, but unfortunately you can't see it
Sivas'ın yollarına
Sivas'ın yollarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Bırak ben beni vuram
Bırak ben beni vuram
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Der Orient Express
The Orient Express
Sivas'ın yollarına
Sivas'ın yollarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Bırak ben beni vuram
Bırak ben beni vuram
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Wenn du auf den Wegen von Sivas
If you are walking on the paths of Sivas
Im Leben noch nie warst
You've never been in your life
Und es dein ewiges Ziel war, einmal hier hinzukommen
And it was your eternal goal to get here one day
Nimm den Orient Express, denn dann holt er dich hier weg
Take the Orient Express, because then it will take you away from here
Und den sogenannten Fleck Erde find's du schon
And you'll find the so-called patch of earth
Denn das ist Heimat für mich und was ist Heimat für dich
Because that's home for me and what is home for you
Jeder hat so einen Ort, doch vielleicht weißt du's noch nicht
Everybody has a place like that, but maybe you don't know it yet
Es ist dieser Ort, der dir zeigt, wer du bist
It's that place that shows you who you are
Den du finden wirst, bevor einmal die Zeit uns erlischt
That you'll find before time runs out
Kara saçın dolam dolam
Kara saçın dolam dolam dolam
Boynunda urganın olam
Boynunda ürğanın olam
Eğer başka yar seversen
Eğer başka yar seversen
Buralarda nasıl duram?
Buralarda nasıl duram?
Sivas'ın yollarına
Sivas'ın yollarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Bırak ben beni vuram
Bırak ben beni vuram
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Der Orient Express
The Orient Express
Sivas'ın yollarına
Sivas'ın yollarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Çıkayım dağlarına
Bırak ben beni vuram
Bırak ben beni vuram
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Ölüm gitmez zoruma
Der Orient Express!
The Orient Express!
