Aç Sesini [English translation]

Let the cold wind blow from the north

If my hands are in your pocket

Turn around, let your skirt fly

Let my hair touch your face

Let the cold rain fall on you

If your eyelashes are dry

As long as have independent dreams

It doesn't matter even if the sky is pierced

Be a song, a poem and write my verses

Make some noise and erase the system

Speak out, make your secrets known

As long as you don't act like the three wise monkeys1

Be a voice, be a face and plug it in

Turn on the lights and set up your stage

Allow yourself to think highly of yourself

Life is a song you don't know

Turn up the volume, turn up the volume

Turn up the volume, turn up the volume

1. A common reference in Turkey. The three wise monkeys refer to the Japanese pictorial maxim where one monkey refuses to see anything, the other refuses to hear and the other refuses to speak. Within the context, this requests the addressee to stop ignoring real phenomena and deal with them
