Acılara Tutunmak [English translation]

If convergence is freedom we were both free

Hands mingled like

two worlds crying out to be together

We would collided

like two rivers rushing down two mountains

We once met at a crossroads

We forgot separation, we kissed longing goodbye

We used to break into song

The blue bird of happiness would sing in our yard*

If suffering is freedom

We are both free

She is a homeless sparrow

I am a caged canary

She flits from branch to branch

Her heart is rent and torn

Mine myself I rend

along lines of defiance

To love is to search for one

To love is to long for one

To find only to lose again

Oh, the cruel tricks of romance

Just lies, all lies

Can you say there was such a thing as love

No, I think there was no such thing

I suffered for days

I suffered in silence

This short sojourn

In the chaos of a hurricane

I aged a thousand years

Holding on to bitterness

If suffering is freedom

Then we were both free

Only these glances remain

From suffering all that pain

You could say the mist in our eyes

Was the like the mists at sunrise

Just lies, all lies

Come day they fade away

Scattering on the winds+
