Kaldırımlar [English translation]

I alone in the streets where no one there

I walk not looking behind … just walking

my arms lies in the point opposite to darkness

as there were an image waiting for me

the coal black clouds enclose the dark sky

the thunderbolt and the chimneys of the houses looking out for each other

two people are awake for the half of the night

one of them is me… the other is one who spreads the cobblestones

drop by drop accumulating fear inside me

I think that camels blocks the cross roads

they plant over me a dark black glass

the houses are like extruded eyes

cobblestones .. A withdrawal's mother's grief

cobblestones .. A human lived inside me

cobblestones .. A heard voice cutting the voice

cobblestones .. An extended language in me

a soft arm full I don’t dream of giving it

those cobblestones I was nursed my childhood

oh my god… if the morning does not rise on these dark streets

my unfinished journey in those dark streets

the way goes as I will go …the way goes as I will go …

both sides of me surrounded by the floods like a light house

like hungry dogs biting me the sounds of foot steps

belts of stone with a cruel tak sound in my way

neither walking in a light nor seen by eyes

let the daylight be for you and give me the darkness

like a wet quilt I present with pleasure

cover me joyful darkness
