Life means silence, quietness in the East,
In the West it's like a gemstone
Keeping quiet means virtue and merit in the East,
In the West it's like a worthless right
Separate us Bosphorus
Save me before drowning
Separate us Bosphorus
Bless me before I jump off
Laughing means disgrace and arrogance in the East,
In the West it's like a natural desire
Knowledge means prestige and esteem in the East
In the West it's measured in money
Separate us Bosphorus
Tell us without separating
Separate us Bosphorus
Save me before drowning
Sorrow, pain and eternal suffering
Unsaid in politics and in any language
Separate us Bosphorus (4x)
