Lyrics
Ben oraya koymuştum, almışlar
Arasına sıkışık saatlerin
Çıkarır bakardım kimseler yokken
Beni bana gösterecek aynamdı, almışlar
Kışken ilkyaz, sularımda açardı
Buzlu dağlar gerisine kaçıracak ne vardı?
Eski defterlerde sararırmış yaprak
Beni bana gösterecek anlamdı, almışlar
Bir ışıktı yanardı yalnız gecelerde
Akşam, çiçekler uykuya yattı
Sardı karşı kıyıları karanlık
Beni bana gösterecek lambamdı, almışlar
Lyrics translation
I put it there, they took it.
In between the cramped hours
When there's no one I'd look at extracts
It was my mirror to show me, they took it
In winter, ilkyaz would bloom in my waters
What was there to smuggle behind the icy mountains?
Yellow leaf in old notebooks
It was the meaning to show me, they took it
♪ There was a light ♪ ♪ on lonely nights ♪
In the evening, the flowers lay asleep
Gripped opposite coasts of darkness
It was my lamp to show me, they took it
