Bizim Hikaye [English translation]

Strike a match into the darkness

Give your soul, away to the fire

The laid1 of life on your shoulders

Turn head, turn sunward

We took a shot at the sun

Didn't know what have we done to ourselves

Our shoes were ripped but

We ran across the acanthophorous2 roads

Ah, where's that good old vivacity of ours now

We dived right into the fire with malice aforethought3

No one took us by the hands

Every sort of pest got into hot water one after the other

Weren't you there for me?

Didn't you caress?

You weren't there for me

You didn't take me by the hand tonight too

1. Scottish slang for "Burden"2. Thorny3. "Purposely" since "With malice aforethought" could also mean, well, "To no good purpose"
