Şarkı Söylemek Lazım [English translation]

When life gets more difficult,

When left breathless in dead-end streets,

When reduced in meaning,

When shattered in temporary passions,

When words are not sufficient,

When eyes don't see and the soul doesn't feel,

When heart of glass is broken,

And you turn and lock yourself back to solitude,

Then, you need to sing with all your might,

Then, you need to sing, shouting and screaming,

Then, perhaps, the weight on your heart may be lessened a bit,

Then, you need to sing with all your might,

Hay la la la la ley, hay la la la la ley

Hay la la la la ley, la lay la la ley

When troubles don't come to an end,

When what you know isn't enough for what you suffer,

When you catch yourself in your enemy,

And you don't feel grudge for him anymore,

[repeat/nakarat]

Hay la la la la ley

Life is worthless,
