Petr'oil

Sen gelmeden önce her yer karanlık
Dünya ıssız, dünya durgundu bilmem niçin
Her yerde aradım tatlı bir ışık
Bir ateş bu gönlümü ısıtmak için

Sen gelince sanki bir güneş doğdu
Aydınlık günüm gecem artık çok güzel hayat
Sanki her şey birden bambaşka oldu
Sensiz ne kadar zormuş, meğer ne güçmüş hayat

Aman pet'r oil, canım pet'r oil
Artık sana, sana, sana muhtacım pet'r oil
Aman pet'r oil, canım pet'r oil
Artık sana, sana, sana muhtacım pet'r oil

Eninde pet'r oil, sonunda pet'r oil
Artık dizginlerim senin elinde pet'r oil
Eninde pet'r oil, sonunda pet'r oil
Artık dizginlerim senin elinde pet'r oil

Öyle gururlusun gidemem yanına
Girmişsin kim bilir kaç aşığın kanına
Dolardan, marktan başka laf çıkmaz dilinden
Neler, neler çekiyorum senin elinden

Nice zengin dilber düşmüş ardına
Düş başka, gerçek başka, yar olmazsın sen bana
Belki gideceksin bir gün gerçekten
İşte senin ardından ağlıyorum şimdiden

Aman pet'r oil, canım pet'r oil
Artık sana, sana, sana muhtacım pet'r oil
Aman pet'r oil, canım pet'r oil
Artık sana, sana, sana muhtacım pet'r oil

Eninde pet'r oil, sonunda pet'r oil
Artık dizginlerim senin elinde pet'r oil
Eninde pet'r oil, sonunda pet'r oil
Artık dizginlerim senin elinde pet'r oil

(Aman pet'r oil, canım petr'oil)
(Artık sana, sana, sana muhtacım pet'r oil)
Aman pet'r oil, canım pet'r oil
Artık sana, sana, ѕana muhtаcım pet'r oil

Pet'r Oil

Before you came it was dark everywhere
The world was empty and dull, I wonder why
I searched everywhere for sweet light
For a flame that would warm my heart

When you came, as if a sun has dawned
Illuminating my day and night, my life was wonderful
Now, all of a sudden, everything has changed
Without you, life is difficult and hard

Lovely pet'r oil, sweet pet'r oil
I need you now, pet'r oil
Lovely pet'r oil, sweet pet'r oil
I need you now, pet'r oil

In the beginning, pet'r oil, in the end pet'r oil
Now my reigns are in your hands, pet'r oil
In the beginning, pet'r oil, in the end pet'r oil
Now my reigns are in your hands, pet'r oil

You are so proud, I can't come close to you
I wonder who else suffers from your love
You speak of nothing but dollars and marks
I am so suffering because of you

Rich courtesans are running after you
Dreams and reality are not the same, you won't be mine
Maybe you'll go away for good some day
I already started crying after you

Lovely pet'r oil, sweet pet'r oil
I need you now, pet'r oil
Lovely pet'r oil, sweet pet'r oil
I need you now, pet'r oil

In the beginning, pet'r oil, in the end pet'r oil
Now my reigns are in your hands, pet'r oil
In the beginning, pet'r oil, in the end pet'r oil
Now my reigns are in your hаnds, pet'r oil

(Lovely pet'r oil, sweet pet'r oil)
(I need you now, pet'r oil)
Lovely pet'r oil, ѕweet pet'r oil
I need you now, pet'r oil

Loving On Petrol

Don't give me a diamond ring 'cause that's not what I need
Just give me some gasoline and you fill up my dreams
When I think I'm running out, my whole inside goes out
So don't talk of precious gems, just give me liquid gold

Caviar is not my style and champagne's not my game
But I've had the taste of oil and it's flowing through my veins
What good is a silver ounce when you don't have the gas?
Let me have enough to go and our love is sure to last

Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Flowing, blowing, rolling, going one way to heaven
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
So hot, don't stop, come on, make me happy forever

The wheels are turning, energy's burning
If we found a well then we could share it all together
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Just step on the gas and watch the whole wide world go past us

Once I had a wealthy man and he was good to me
I left him for somebody else who satisfied my needs
Every night I go to him, and don't you know, for free
He gives me some hard-chased oil and makes my life complete

Yesterday I read the news the oil supply is short
So I've got to get it all before maybe there's no more
We're so close to empty now that soon we'll have to stop
So let's get another tank while the motor's running hot

Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Going, blowing, rolling, boiling one way to heaven
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
So hot, don't stop, come on, make me happy forever

The wheels are turning, energy's burning
If we found a well then we could share it all together
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Just step on the gas and watch the whole wide world go past uѕ

(Loving on petrol, loving on petrol)
(Flowing, blowing, rolling, going one way to heaven)
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Nothing could be nicer thаn our loving on petrol

Le roi du pétrole

Les diamants, les perles, les bagues et les colliers
Les manteaux de fourrure, ça me plaît qu'à moitié
Moi, c'est le pétrole qui me fait surtout plaisir
C'est l'unique objet de mes plus fous désirs

Il m'en faut pour faire marcher ma torpédo
Et aussi pour le briquet qui allume mes cigarillos
J'aime tant le pétrole que je prends des bains dedans
Et j'y ai fait la connaissance du plus macho des sultans

Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Roi de l'énergie, il agit en roi du pétrole
Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
J'ai vu ses puits et puis ses barils et ma parole

Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Il raffine le brut comme une brute, et c'est mon idole
Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Son émirat m'ira tant qu'il y aura du pétrole

Les quatorze Rolls, le palais de marbre rose
Je ne peux pas dire que ça m'fait quelque chose
Ce qui m'impressionne, c'est qu'il est dans l'OPEP
Les grandes compagnies, lui, il s'amuse avec

Ne me parlez pas nucléaire ni charbon
Non, il n'y a que le pétrole qui soit beau, qui sente bon
En pétrodollars je règle mes dépenses
Et dans le Golfe Persique, je passe mes vacances

Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Roi de l'énergie, il agit en roi du pétrole
Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
J'ai vu ses puits et puis ses barils et ma parole

Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Il raffine le brut comme une brute, et c'eѕt mon idole
Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Son émirat m'ira tant qu'il y aura du pétrole

(Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle)
(Roi de l'énergie, il agit en roi du pétrole)
Le roi du pétrole, il m'a rendue folle
Roi de l'énergie, il аgit en roi du pétrole
