Barış Manço - Tell Me Old Man lyrics

Tell me old man why do the winds blow?
Tell me old man where do the winds go?
The winds tell me they know their way
Ringing the changes from day to day
North turns to south east turns to west
They go where they have to go
The winds tell me they know their way
Ringing the changes from day to day
North turns to south east turns to west
They go where they have to go

Tell me old man why is the sky grey?
Tell me old man what do the clouds say?
They tеll me rain has it's season
Life has it's sadnеss for a good reason
And all the darkness
Just hides their treasure
Sunlight and rain for the earth
They tell me rain has it's season
Life has it's sadness for a good reason
And all the darkness
Just hides their treasure
Sunlight and rain for the earth

Tell me old man why do the birds sing?
Tell me old man what does their song bring?
Their song is the voice of love
Falling to earth from the skies above
And every note has its ring of meaning
Happiness and joy to earth
Their song is the voice of love
Falling to earth from the skies above
And every note has its ring of meaning
Happiness and joy to earth
