Bir Çocuk Sevdim [English translation]

I caught a sight of a distant child.

His eyes are mournful, and yet more eerie.

In spite of everything the child smiled in a split of a second,

It was warm-hearted, and plain, but a bit doubtedful.

I loved a child from far away,

Assuming that this was his longing .

Regardless, solely with his emotions, he had stripped me off my veil at a single glance.

I haven't seen such a heart, such a love like this.

Now the child is growing up day by day.

And he caressed all of the sorrows one by one.

Embracing a secret hope, and a bit hurt.

I caught a sight of a distant child.

Sort of a child, sort of a man, sort of none at all.

In his hands damp bundles of time.

He chose a new path, which he had never tried once before.

I loved a child from far away.

In his hand there is tomorrow, in the other there is yesterday.

As if he is a bit sad of ageing a head of time.

He looked at the state of the world, then laughed and went away.

I haven't seen such a heart, such a love like this.

Now the child is growing up day by day.

And he caressed all of the sorrows one by one.

Embracing a secret hope, and a bit hurt.
