YÜZLERCENİN ARKADAŞI
(Friend Of Hundreds)

birisi...
bana bakan
senin gibi gözükür..

birisi...
tatlı gülümseyen
senin gibi gözükür..

Her zaman
o duygu
bir şey eksik
birisi
sen

ve söylüyorum..
Bu sensin
o sensin
işte sen
sen varsın

ve
burada ve orada
oldum
yüzlercenin arkadaşı

FRIEND OF HUNDREDS
***
The one...
looks at me
seems you...

The one...
sweetly smiles
seems you...

Always
the feeling
something missing...
The one ...
You.

And I say...
This is you...
That is you...
Here is you...
There is you...

And in
this and that
I became
Friend of hundreds

Birisi
Beni uyanık tutan
Bütün gece
Ama açık gözlerle

Birisi
Beni uyutan
Bütün gün
Ama açık gözlerle

SECOND HALF
***
The one,
who makes me awake
whole the night
but with closed eyes,

The one,
who makes me sleep
whole the day
but with open eyes.

ARKADAŞÇA GÜLÜMSEME
(Friendly Smile)

eğer
basit arkadaşça bir gülümseme
kalpleri kolayca yakalayabiliyorsa

o zaman neden
birbirimizi yenmek için
silahlara ihtiyaç var?

FRIENDLY SMILE
***
If a meager
friendly smiling gestures can
easily occupy
the hearts in control,

Then why
the need of fight
with guns
to subdue each others ?

BARIŞ FORMÜLÜ
(Peace Formula)

eğer
kalpler arasındaki boşluklar
sevgiyle köprülenseydi
ve
ruhlar
arkadaşca gülümsemelerle
öpülseydi
Adem'in ailesinin kuzenleri
asla
birbirlerinden usanmazdı

PEACE FORMULA
***
If
the gaps
between hearts are
bridged up
with love
and..
the souls are
kissed with
peaceful smiles,
the cousins of
Adam's family would
never be fed up
from each other
