| Sorular, sorular, o sorular | Questions, questions—those ever-circling birds of doubt, |
| Cevapları yanılgılar | Their answers: shards of broken mirrors, |
| Araya girdiler ve | They crept between us, silent as mist, |
| Sana örüldüler duvar duvar | And for you, were woven up—wall upon luminous wall. |
| Konular, konular, hep aynı konular | Subjects, subjects—the same pale themes returning, |
| Değişmiyordu yordular | Unchanged, worn thin as river stones. |
| Ama zamanı geldi | Yet now the hour tolls its iron bell, |
| Acı kararı verdi korkular | And fear draws its verdict, bitter as wormwood upon my tongue. |
| Buna beni sen zorladın | You—the hand that drove me to this precipice, |
| Denedin denedin durmadın | You pressed, pressed again, unyielding as a winter wind. |
| Sana dokunuyordu her cümlem | Each phrase I shaped brushed against you, trembling, |
| Oysa hep ekledim sonuna bi' lütfen | Yet with every ending, I laced in a quiet please. |
| Sen duymadın | You heard nothing. |
| Buna beni sen zorladın | You—the hand that drove me to this precipice, |
| Denedin denedin durmadın | You pressed, pressed again, unyielding as a winter wind. |
| Sana dokunuyordu her cümlem | Each phrase I shaped brushed against you, trembling, |
| Oysa hep ekledim sonuna bi' lütfen | Yet with every ending, I laced in a quiet please. |
| Sen duymadın, duymadın, duymadın, duymadın, duymadın | But still, you did not listen—no, not once—not ever. |
| Gidiyorsun, kırdın kalbime vurulan o zinciri | You depart, breaking wide the chain once clamped upon my heart, |
| Bir umuttun, denedim ama çok ağır ödedim bedelini | You—a lantern of hope; I grasped for you and paid the forfeit in leaden coin. |
| Biliyorsun nasıl severdim seni | You know the breadth and depth of how I loved you— |
| Ama şimdi siliniyorsun | But now, your outline is washed from the parchment of my days. |
| Gidiyorsun, kırdın kalbime vurulan o zinciri | You depart, breaking wide the chain once clamped upon my heart, |
