| Pır Pır Eder Uçamaz Bu Kelebek | This butterfly beats bright air, yet cannot rise |
| Kanadı Altın, Içi Hep Yorgun | Its wings are gold, its inmost chamber tired |
| Hayat Hep Çok Sert Mi Olmuş Der | It asks if life was always wrought so hard |
| Çare Nedir Bilemez, Bulamaz | No remedy appears, none can be found |
| Hep Olsan, Tadın Olmaz | If always there, your savor would grow stale |
| Öyle Gel Git Zamanla | Thus ebb and flow, with time's unsounded tide |
| Eksiksiz Kıymet Bulmaz | The flawless thing wins never its full due |
| Ya Da Yalan Dolanla | Or else through coils of falsehood and deceit |
| Kitlenir Çözemezsin | It seizes shut, and you cannot unbind |
| Dur Durak Bilmez Dünya | The world knows neither resting-place nor rein |
| Sonunu Getiremezsin | You cannot draw its ending to the thread |
| Hani Aklın Kalır Ya | You know how thought stays stranded in the mind |
| Kanatlarını Çırpamaz, Ürkek. | It cannot beat its wings, so shy, so startled. |
| Derya Da Dünden Beri Gönlünden | Derya too, since yesterday, bears this in heart |
| Sabah Olmaz Mı, Yeri Dolmaz Mı | Will morning not break forth, nor absence close |
| Görmezsen Hiç, Olmaz | Unless you see it, nothing comes to pass |
| O Güneş. | That sun. |
| Hep Olsan, Tadın Olmaz | If always there, your savor would grow stale |
| Öyle Gel Git Zamanla | Thus ebb and flow, with time's unsounded tide |
| Eksiksiz Kıymet Bulmaz | The flawless thing wins never its full due |
| Ya Da Yalan Dolanla | Or else through coils of falsehood and deceit |
| Kitlenir Çözemezsin | It seizes shut, and you cannot unbind |
| Dur Durak Bilmez Dünya | The world knows neither resting-place nor rein |
| Sonunu Getiremezsin | You cannot draw its ending to the thread |
| Hani Aklın Kalır Ya | You know how thought stays stranded in the mind |
