Parçalandım [English translation]

I fell into pieces,

and I left each piece of me at a different place.

I threw someone at the deepest point of high seas,

I rowed my boat, I got away,

I didn't even look back.

I left someone at the peak of high mountains

so that nobody could save him, so that he'd be food to wolves and wild birds.

I left someone in that small city I never forgot about.

I couldn't go back, and who knows

even if I did, I couldn't have been able to find him.

First, I was dispersed, I went up in smoke.

Then I rested, I cooled off.

And instead of every piece of me that left,

I gave birth to new ones.

Stronger, calmer,

happier, more silent,

more mature, more sensitive,

lonelier, more tired...

I planted someone at the bottom of a known cherry tree,

I couldn't ask if he blossemed or shot forth.

I forgot someone with a dear friend I loved the most,

I wanted him back, she didn't give him back.

Turns out, deep down she never really liked me.

I threw someone into fires for the sake of a big love,

on purpose, willingly but I have never regretted.
