Mayın Tarlası [English translation]

It turns out, I had been just wandering in a minefield thinking it was love.

Everybody called out to me screaming, telling me to stop, but I didn't hear anyone.

Just like in war films, I kept going while injured.

Since it is love till the end, I thought you were by my side.

It turns out, I had been just walking on a minefield thinking it was love.

I didn't stop at the wire fences, I found a hole and passed through.

Everything told me to stop but my ear took a blow and I couldn't hear.

Since it is love till the end, I only believed.

I ran, I fell, I got up.

Making love comes from love, I had believed so.

When you held me by my hand, I trusted you so much that,

I thought nothing would happen to us,

turns out, I always thought wrong.

I have loved a man in a minefield thinking it was love.

I undressed without a fear and ended up barenaked.

Just like in romantic films, that's how I loved you and then

my body was found just fine, but my heart was in pieces.
