Çukur [English translation]

I can’t smother this fire, it’s burning me to ashes

speak out, heart I can’t bear the pain

don’t ask the thorn who knows my rose

no better than me

hardship is learned through hardship

the frost is gone, don’t bring it back

don’t ask the thorn who knows my rose

no better than me

light a cig, light up

and keep it alight

(let’s walk away)

the more I dig, the deeper the hollow in my heart

the longer the letter, the more I pierce the paper

my sense of self is gone, I’m tied up in knots, there’s no one to untie me

even if I get free, will I be able to see?

they roared and roared

they broke my fledgling wings

speak out, heart

I can’t stay here anymore
