Lyrics of Ateşle Barut - Sertab Erener

Ateşle Barut (original)

Ateşle barut ah,
Yan yana durmaz.
Gönül dilinden
Anla biraz.
Bir dokunursan,
Ah dokunursan,
Ellerin mızrap olur,
Bedenim saz.
Gözlerin gözlerimden geçerken
Ah yine tövbelerim bozulur.
Kim bilir kaç senedir sana ben
Hazırım böyle, hadi gel hemen, hemen!
Fırtına bu, bu afet, deprem.
Yıldızları gel topla benden,
Sarsıntılar dağıtsın bizi gel,
Yeniden doğuş bu, vazgeç kendinden.
Eriyorum bak mum gibi,
Damlaya damlaya sel oldum, al beni sar,
Al darmadağın, al doludizgin,
Ruhum bedenime dar.

(translation)

Gunpowder with fire, oh
It does not stand side by side.
heart language
Understand a little.
if you touch it,
Oh if you touch
Your hands become plectrums,
My body is reed.
As your eyes pass me by
Oh, my repentance is broken again.
Who knows how many years I
I'm ready like this, come on now, right away!
This is the storm, this is the disaster, the earthquake.
Come and collect the stars from me,
Let the tremors disperse us, come,
This is rebirth, give up on yourself.
I'm melting like a candle
I flooded drop by drop, take me and hug me
Red bridle, red bridle,
My soul is narrower than my body.
