Uzun Hava
A brave one gets a horse and rides upon it
A brave one endures every suffering.
A brave one shelters beneath the shadow of another brave,
The wicked men has no shade, no branch.
A henna marked finger on the sword’s hilt,
How difficult it is to part from one’s homeland.
We may all perish, but we shall not give up our land,
What became of our lords in grey cloaks?
Let us climb Avşar Mountain, let it sway,
Let us take from the wealth of the stingy ones
For the path of an honest friend
We are from those who give their heads away first.

Great Days
What are we talking about this evening
And what will carry us until tomorrow?
And these are the days when the streetlights
Turn on in the morning
Where, what, when still
I could always shout it
These are the days when the drums
Scream for us
Look at the sky, it’s changing
And it’s turning here
Here... these are great days
Here... waiting for us
Here... and these are great days
Here... not to be forgotten
And how many swords in the mind
Like radio waves
What are we doing this evening
To get to tomorrow?
These are the days the drums
Scream for us
Look at the weather, it’s changing
And it’s changing for us too
Here... these are great days
Here... waiting for us
Here... and these are great days
Here... not to be forgotten
Here... and these are great days
Here... waiting for us
Here... and these are great days
Here... here!
Here...
Here... and these are great days
Here...
Here... not to be forgotten
Here... these are great days
Here... waiting for us
Here... and these are great days
Here... not to be forgotten
Here...

You're My Evil
You're my evil, all the evil that
I feel inside of me, here in my soul
that because of you has no peace at this point,
that because of you no longer exists.
My tears have your name,
they have your eyes, your face and then,
then it's useless, I'll give up,
I'll have to exist without having you.
You're my evil, all the evil that
I feel inside of me here in my soul.
I'd like to keep my gaze on you but
you never seek out my gaze.
Everything is playful in my thoughts
but I won't speak, no, I won't speak
because you don't know, you never realize
that my evil is only you,
you don't realize that you're my evil,
only you!

Love is here
People say: 'Love is nothing like that.'
People say: 'Live like us, it's alright'.
'Don't expect much. People aren't what you think.
And don't waste their time with your dream!'
People say: There's no need to be sad.
You'll change nothing: for good or for bad.
Just be happy, eat, sleep. Don't be a fool!
You should simply accept it as a rule.
But Love - is.
It's in me - lives!
Like a gentle chick - in my heart
And like liquid lead - in my blood
But Love - is.
It's in me - lives!
Like a gentle chick - in my heart
And like liquid lead - in my blood
In my eyes - as the inner light
In my tears - lives as stinging salt.
Love's my vision, my hearing, my powerful will
It's my life-giving sun, my deep sea and tall hills.
Lies, betrayal and sorrow Love helps to resist
If it's taken away, I will cease to exist.
But people still say: 'Love is nothing like that'
People say: 'Live like everyone else, it's alright'.
But I will keep my soul shielded from what they say
I live NOW the way others will live one day!
But Love - is.
It's in me - lives!
Like a gentle chick - in my heart
And like liquid lead - in my blood
But Love - is.
It's in me - lives!
Like a gentle chick - in my heart
And like liquid lead - in my blood
People say: 'Love is nothing like that.'
People say: 'Live like us, it's alright'.
'Don't expect much. People aren't what you think.
And don't waste their time with your dream!'
