Lyrics of Çocuktuk Bir Zamanlar - Sertab Erener

Çocuktuk Bir Zamanlar (original)

Döndüm şehrimin eski püskü sokaklarına
Kendimden izler bulmak için
Yıkılmış doğduğum balkonlu ev
Ve içinde büyüdüğüm hayallerin
Benimdi bu yollar
Benimdi ışıklar
Benimdi rüzgârda
Dans eden ağaçlar
Benimdi denizler
Benimdi çocuklar
Çocuktuk bir zamanlar
Hepsini aldı geçen yıllar
Dolaştım çarşıda eskisi gibi
Ne severdim çocukken vitrinleri
Silinmiş lisenin taş duvarlarına
Gizlice kazıdığımız aşk sözleri
Benimdi bu yollar
Benimdi ışıklar
Benimdi rüzgârda
Dans eden ağaçlar
Benimdi denizler
Benimdi çocuklar
Çocuktuk bir zamanlar
Hepsini aldı geçen yıllar
Benimdi bu yollar
Benimdi ışıklar
Benimdi rüzgârda
Dans eden ağaçlar
Benimdi denizler
Benimdi çocuklar
Çocuktuk bir zamanlar
Hepsini aldı geçen yıllar

(translation)

Back to the shabby streets of my city
To find traces of myself
Destroyed house with balcony where I was born
And the dreams I grew up in
These roads were mine
the lights were mine
It was mine in the wind
dancing trees
The seas were mine
it was mine guys
We were kids once
It took all the years
I wandered around the market like before
What I loved when I was a kid
To the stone walls of the erased high school
Words of love that we secretly engraved
These roads were mine
the lights were mine
It was mine in the wind
dancing trees
The seas were mine
it was mine guys
We were kids once
It took all the years
These roads were mine
the lights were mine
It was mine in the wind
dancing trees
The seas were mine
it was mine guys
We were kids once
It took all the years
