Memet [English translation]

Memet, you are still too young, Memet

Naturally you cannot know why this eternal vigil is

Besides, you haven't had enough time

But still, keep on hoping

Memet, we cannot know either, Memet

Whether this will go on forever

Would the world change? Would better times come?

But still, keep on hoping

A human being is such a dark box that

No one could give a true answer if you asked

Words are a man-made language

But still, always speak of life

Memet, your eyes don't stop haunting me, no matter what

You haven't grown up at all, I've recognised you from your face, that of a child

Blood has come from sorrow, from my soul

Think about your mother, be very careful.

Memet, you are still too young, Memet

The mankind is like this in the end.

This one is you, that other one is you too.

Forgive yourself, us and also the world.
