Daha İyi Olmaz Mıydı [English translation]

I'm a thirty year-old young woman,

In the middle of her life

Who's after being happy by smallest things

Who sometimes emerges in a song,

And sometimes in the streets

You were a man, and I a woman

I thought I was left incomplete when you left

I was very attached,

But not addicted to you

I scraped off the chaos you left behind root and branch

It took a little long but I was virtually rejuvenated

If we'd had a cup of coffee,

And broken up with a hug

Wouldn't it have been better?

If you hadn't left as though

You were leaving a hotel in which you stayed

Wouldn't it have been better?

If you'd just spoken the truth

Without talking in circles

Wouldn't it have been easier?

It's hard enough to break up, you already knew that

But if you hadn't made it the worst day of my life

Wouldn't it have been better?

I can't be someone who, cap in hand,

Says 'yes' to wherever the wind brings her

I constantly listen to what I feel,

No matter whether you're very strong or a hero

Wouldn't I like to be able to smile

When I remembered you?

I was very attached,

But not addicted to you

For sure you weren't obliged to love me forever

I didn't own you, I was only a lover

If we'd had a cup of coffee,

And broken up with a hug

Wouldn't it have been better?

If you hadn't left as though

You were leaving a hotel in which you stayed

Wouldn't it have been better?

If you'd just spoken the truth

Without talking in circles

Wouldn't it have been easier?

It's hard enough to break up, you already knew that

But if you hadn't have made it the worst day of my life

Wouldn't it have been better?
