lyrics

Once upon a time there was a man
He wanted to go to the grand bazaar of Sivas
There he wanted to get presents for his wife and children
So he hit the road and after a long journey
he arrived to the gates of the city
but just as he was about to pass the gates
He heard a voice deep and loud:
"Hey ! Son of Adam ! Walk three steps back ! "

He is the man who could not go into Sivas

And he prayed to the aliens
All through the night he would sing to the stars
One day a star fell
Out came the creatures with jades in their eyes:
"Hey Son of Adam, perhaps we can help you,
Jump on put spaceship so that we can help you fly high over Sivas"
At night they took flight and came over the gates
The spaceship stopped and they heard a voice say:
"Hey Son of Adam ! Walk six steps back ! "

He is the man who could not go into Sivas

- Out of the way ! Out of the way ! The sultan is coming !
- Please ! Let me pass. I need to see the sultan, please !
- Hey , what do you think you're doing ? No one can speak with his majesty.
- I'm begging you. He is the only one who can let me into the city.
- Step back you lousy beggar !
