Geçmişe Yolculuk [English translation]

Today I liken myself to a blind alley

Covered with dry leaves

Only those who live there

Come and pass over me

Today I feel like a hotel whose rooms are mostly empty,

That only becomes full now and then

So many lives, stories, and loves

Pass through me

I wasn't like that

When did I get lost?

I would dance with the wind

When did I fly away?

I heard a voice

From the past

I heard a voice

From a little girl

I want a ticket

Only a departure

I have to go to

The naïveté of the childhood and live there

I want a ticket

Only for one person

To be able to survive the night

I have to remember how excitement feels

Today I feel silent and stationary

Like a bench in a park

At night the lights of the city

Lay down and sleep on me

Today I feel like the sea

Of the ships carrying tons of cargo

I have buoyancy

Yet the waste of the city flows into me
