Fahişe [English translation]

I'm so hot, a prostitute says so

towards morning

and we laugh at her lie

mutually and understandingly

at the bench near breakwaters

she took off her shoes

Look, she said,

bridge lights are bloting out stars

when you scratch their gilts,

(you'll see) iron under them is rusted

It is necessary to set them up on fire

But fire exits are everwhere

"Why did you sell your poverty?" I asked

"It was only thing I got," she said.

"Why did you sell your body?" (I asked)

"Is it worse," she said,

"than selling my soul?"

She said, "Everyone is wondering

if there is life after death

They puzzle their brains in vain

As if there is a life before death"

"I liked you but maybe

that's because there is sadness in your eyes in a sort of way

And if you hug me as though you love me

this body will be free for you"

I actually would say, you're too young

"I'm 20", she said, "but my soul is 1000 years old

Rocks have cut my feet

But still, feeling something on breakwaters feels good"

"I was thrown away all alone with this body

Love is simple, so regret is,

World is rustic in this day and age

Hawk eats bird

Raven eats carrion

This world is prostitute, not me"

"My fear is like the man screaming in the painting

My hands are always on my temples

When i am always running, how can i love this one-man world now?"

"I got it," I said,

"You love someone else

He is beside you day and night"

She hugged me and cried for hours

Before she went to her job

I actually would say, you're too young

"I'm 20", she said, "but my soul is 1000 years old

Rocks have cut my feet

But still, feeling something on breakwaters feels good"

"I was thrown away all alone with this body

Love is simple, so regret is,

World is rustic in this day and age

Hawk eats bird

Raven eats carrion

This world is prostitute, not me"
