Art/Literary - Music / Idioms | | Turkish term or phrase: hiçbiri sokağa çıkamaz | Greetings,
Please see http://guldenkarabocek.albumleri.com/ablam_beni_olmemi_istey...
The singer in question says:
Bu iş biteli 26 sene olmuş. Bu olayı hálá gündeme getirip, yeni kuşaklara taşıyorlar. Hálá hınçlarını alamamışlar. Bu zamana kadar sustum. Binbir entrikalar döndü, açıklarsam hiçbiri sokağa çıkamaz!
I think it must be some kind of idiom, but have had no luck with my dictionary.
Best wishes and many thanks,
Simon |
