Olmuyor [English translation]

I’ve strolled the desolate streets for years.

I thought I could have found myself one day.

After a broken dream,

In a flame of an illusion,

I flew in circles like a moth for all my life.

I burned and died down but a fire doesn’t begin to speak.

It’s not happening, my rose, it’s not happening

Waters are not reaching their banks

I’ve such a bizarre problem

That nobody knows its cure.

It’s not happening, my rose, it’s not happening

Waters are not reaching their banks

I’ve such a bizarre problem

That I kept to myself.

Colorful dreams never come true

Bright beautiful days gone never come back

Yellow leaves are crushed,

Lands become desolate,

Which we never notice when we stepped on them.

And nobody knows why I am not happy

It’s not happening, my rose, it’s not happening

Waters are not reaching their banks

I’ve such a bizarre problem

That nobody knows its cure.

It’s not happening, my rose, it’s not happening

Waters are not reaching their banks

I’ve such a bizarre problem

That I kept to myself.
