Boş Ders Şarkısı [English translation]
Boş Ders Şarkısı [English translation]
I’m a waste of time, give up on me, hocam1
I won’t be able to find my dreams in textbooks
Who cares what sea flows into where,
When I’m drowning inside?
If there’s someplace where love still exists, tell me
I’m dying to be touched
Me subtracted from myself won’t make zero
This math thing is fooling us, hocam!
You end up with questions, tears and false hopes
It just won’t add up, it won’t, hocam!
(x2)
‘Life skills’ turned out to be such a hard subject, hocam
I’ve considered it, I’m certain: I just won’t be fixed!
If it’s all a simple formula,
Then let chemistry tell us about that of happiness, if it can?
My chemistry is badly damaged
The world seems to me meaningless
Me subtracted from myself won’t make zero
This math thing is fooling us, hocam!
You end up with questions, tears and false hopes
It just won’t add up, it won’t, hocam!
(x2)
