Yıldızların Peşinde [English translation]

hiding behind a fake poster

and asking borders about myself

was never my thing

when it was my time to burn

as the fortunetellers said

I burned as much as I could

I matured, but it wasn’t easy

start stripping with me

take off your skin, strip for purification

fears are no longer our concern

give me your hand and touch, all over again

start, strip with me, Maya

take off your skin, purify yourself, Maya

fears are no longer our concern

give me your hand, and touch me, again, Maya

chasing after stars!

chasing after stars!

don’t wear yourself out, chasing after stars!

who said it was harmful

ask me if I regret it

no, never, I was never ashamed

of loving them

when it was my time to burn

as the fortunetellers said

I burned as much as I could

I matured, but it wasn’t easy

start stripping with me

take off your skin, strip for purification

fears are no longer our concern

give me your hand and touch, all over again

start, strip with me, Maya

take off your skin, purify yourself, Maya

fears are no longer our concern

give me your hand, and touch me, again, Maya

chasing after stars!

chasing after stars!

don’t wear yourself out, chasing after stars!

zeki sezen ajda tarkan

barış aysel müjde türkan

they touched the sky

so who’s afraid of stars

I flew and I flew, and I opened

every door as far as I flew

I took the confused pill of fame

from poets and I swallowed it
