Mavi Kuş [English translation]

Blue bird, always drunk

A little bit mad at us, that's why it isn't giving heed to us

Though it had beautiful songs to the stars and the seas

It doesn't sing to us,

Staying silent

Like the hands that committed a crime

Like the empty trains at a platform

Like the tunnels whose end aren't seen

Come, don't get upset

Fly swinging

I cannot come with you but go and wander around a bit

They thought it was a joke of magpies

Lovebirds and parrots

Maybe they are your friends

They besmirched you like crows

Swallows and sparrows

They lied to us

We were naive

Like little harmless lies

Like those who run from the rain

Like the ones who cannot catch all the ships

Come, don't get upset

Fly swinging

I cannot come with you

But go and wander around a bit

Blue bird is like a dream

In a flash

Between the night and the day

Even streets cross the streets

Even shadows are related to the Sun

Two of us are like that

But we must know

Like the illumination that never got to be grizzled

Like the calcified teapots

Like the people that never made love

Come, don't get upset

Fly swinging

I cannot come with you But

Go and wander around a bit

Blue bird, always drunk

A little bit mad at us
