The Arrow that Dashed Forward
by Yayindan Firlayan Ok
Performed by Zafer, a sympathiser of the Communist Party of Turkey (Marxist-Leninist)[TKP/ML], Maoist Party Centre.
Lyrics from a 1925 poem by Nazim Hikmet about the history of the world workers’ movement.
Based on a Kurdish melody.
Arrangement, keyboards and saz, Orhan Temur (In Turkish, 1990)
Dashed forward the arrow From its bow! Long ways away the range lay - To far away. Not a trace of the target on display.
Long ways away lay The range, nowhere in sight, Just a beginner was the arrow In this fight. Long ways away lay The range, nowhere insight, Not yet a master, just a beginner Was the arrow in this flight!
It left behind to the winds Broken bloody bits off its wings...
At each instant, what remained In the trail at this slender bird Striking hard and stricken were The prolonged reverberations of a flight!
This flight lasted us many years As there are stars in heaven.
And when the east frothed in raging blood, The arrow saw the target’s crimson heart!
No longer a beginner, The arrow has mastered the flight. Once far away, that target Now is far away not.
It in history that provides the bow, The archers are us, the workers And peasentry, The flying arow. it is our straggle. Let it be the bird, The target, let it be emancipation.
Once far away, that target Now is far away not.
Once far away, that target Now is far away not.
