You didn't know that I messed up again
|
Handprints sank on me
|
I burned the seas, not the ships

|
You gave me to the washer, the oiler I'm 7
|
I was in the industry when I was playing ball in the street
|
You said, "Let them learn about life by working the summer"
|
You wanted to do something, but it wasn't right
|
It was not my strength and my temper to oppose you.
|
You gave it to the carpenter at 8, this wasn't a game
|
You shook hands saying "Your flesh is mine"
|
I was not a sacrificial sheep!
|
The next year, the carpenter again worked on winding, ceramics…
|
We continued like this every summer.
|
Mehmet's only concern was that it was evening.
|
I was a brother but I couldn't do anything
|
This was too much in my opinion and was not true
|
You made it work hard, you didn't have common sense
|
The whole neighborhood gets upset and angry at you
|
But you were hardworking, always ambitious
|
"Why aren't you a psychologist?" |
look a lot of questions dad
|
I say I chose music, being an idealist or something.
|
You see, my answer was always an angel.
|
'Cause I always hated working

I stopped!
|
This did not bother you
|
I didn't mention it because you wouldn't understand me
|
'Cause you grew up like that, you were right
|
Even if you weren't right, it was different
|
No rain cleansed my soul
|
I didn't want you to see that I was upset or something.
|
Life was like death, maybe I was at the last moment
|
I neither sat with you nor was in the hall for a year
|
There are not one but thousands like me
|
Listens and answers without even asking questions
|
It's not laziness we want
|
You should have just asked what I wanted
|
One on the tractor hill, one in the field
|
Before someone picks tea
|
One is in construction, one is looking after animals.
|
Do I have to count for you to see us?
