| Ateşle barut ah,
| Gunpowder with fire, oh
|
| Yan yana durmaz.
| It does not stand side by side.
|
| Gönül dilinden
| heart language
|
| Anla biraz.
| Understand a little.
|
| Bir dokunursan,
| if you touch it,
|
| Ah dokunursan,
| Oh if you touch
|
| Ellerin mızrap olur,
| Your hands become plectrums,
|
| Bedenim saz.
| My body is reed.
|
| Gözlerin gözlerimden geçerken
| As your eyes pass me by
|
| Ah yine tövbelerim bozulur. | Oh, my repentance is broken again. |
| Kim bilir kaç senedir sana ben
| Who knows how many years I
|
| Hazırım böyle, hadi gel hemen, hemen!
| I'm ready like this, come on now, right away!
|
| Fırtına bu, bu afet, deprem.
| This is the storm, this is the disaster, the earthquake.
|
| Yıldızları gel topla benden,
| Come and collect the stars from me,
|
| Sarsıntılar dağıtsın bizi gel,
| Let the tremors disperse us, come,
|
| Yeniden doğuş bu, vazgeç kendinden.
| This is rebirth, give up on yourself.
|
| Eriyorum bak mum gibi,
| I'm melting like a candle
|
| Damlaya damlaya sel oldum, al beni sar,
| I flooded drop by drop, take me and hug me
|
| Al darmadağın, al doludizgin,
| Red bridle, red bridle,
|
| Ruhum bedenime dar. | My soul is narrower than my body. |
