Lyrics of Beyazın Şarkısı - Bülent Ortaçgil

Beyazın Şarkısı (original)

Beyazlara hep gri dedik
Darılmasın diye siyahlar
Rüzgarın adını esinti koyduk ki korkmasınlar
Bir zamanlar çiçektiler
Sulanmadılar, soldular
Yumuşaktılar, taş oldular ki kırılmasılar
Prensesler ve prensler
Hiçbir zaman gelmediler
Birini beklemek en kolay iş ki incinmesinler
Bedenimiz bize yabancı
Yasaklarımız var susulan
Aşkımız basite indirgenmesin ki utanmasınlar
Kimi değiştirmeyi bilmezdi
Kimi zaten hiç istemezdi
Bırakın dünyayı yerinde kalsın ki ürkmesinler
Koca adamın kurdu kocamaz
Kocasa bile kendi anlamaz
Benim şarkılar biraz farklıdır
Kusura bakmasınlar

(translation)

We always called whites gray
Blacks so they don't get offended
We named the wind breeze so that they would not be afraid
They were once flowers
They were not watered, they withered
They were soft, they became stone so that they were broken
Princesses and princes
they never came
Waiting for someone is the easiest thing so they don't get hurt
Our body is foreign to us
We have prohibitions
Let our love not be simplified so that they will not be ashamed
Who didn't know how to change
Who would never want
Let the world stay in place so they don't get scared
The big man's wolf can't grow old
Even if she's a husband, she doesn't understand
My songs are a little different
I'm sorry
