Ankara' dan Abım Geldi [English translation]

Prey on my mind often,

at an unexpected place,

unexpected questions.

A door is opened time to time

From unexpected place

to another unexpected place

I was in front of a movie theater

where a black and white movie was playing

And my parents had loved me a lot.




My brother had come from Ankara.

A happy mood in the house...

My parents had loved me a lot.

Sometimes, life scatters like a smoke

Unexpectedly before me

On unexpected nights.

The distances get jumbled at that moment,

And unexpected distances

Unexpectedly get shortened.

From Kadikoy to Istanbul

My first wanderer evenings.

My parents had loved me a lot.

Pimples on my forehead

Were the sign of first love.

My parents had loved me a lot.

I was in front of a movie theater

where a black and white movie was playing

And my parents had loved me a lot.

My brother had come from Ankara

A happy mood in the house

My parents had loved me a lot.

My parents had loved me a lot.

Oh, mother… Mother…
