Sigara [English translation]

Indeed I too want to

Run before I crawled

To put makeup on and

Walk around in pretty dresses

Indeed I too want to

Speak without thinking first

To be the important person

In a small play

The words passing through my mind

The sounds coming from my heart

They all became a forest

With a match they were all lost

I, under the smoke of a cigarette

Kept burning until I was all ashes

You, at the never-burning end of a match

Ended up as someone who passed by someone's life

Indeed I too want to

Run before I crawled

To put makeup on and

Walk around in pretty dresses

Indeed I too want to

Speak without thinking first

To be the important person

In a small play

I collected good friends

They all became my family

I raised a little love

It was defeated by the system

I, under the smoke of a cigarette

Kept burning until I was all ashes

You, at the never-burning end of a match

Ended up as someone who passed by someone's life

I, under the smoke of a cigarette

Kept burning until I was all ashes

You, at the never-burning end of a match

Ended up as someone who passed by someone's life
