O sensin o sensin

Süzülür sabahlar
Uyanır hatıralar
Gelir İyonya'dan
İzmir'in sokaklarına
Yasemin kokusuyla
Geçmişin dokusuyla
Ayrılık korkusuyla
Sarılır boynuna

Çağırır usulca
Unutulmuş mutlu çocukluğum
Gülümser ilk aşkım
Hafifler hemen burukluğum
Ben oralarda doğdum
Köklerim o topraklarda
Tarihin sırları ile
ölmek isterim orada

Acılar yaslar
Gizlenir kuytulara
Sonra günahlar
Uzanır uykulara
Mehtap yol vermez
Karanlık pusulara
Başlar sularda akşam

Aşklar emniyette
Aşklar Artemis'te
Gece konuşurken
Güne ilk güneşle

Yasemin kokusuyla
Geçmişin dokusuyla
Ayrılık korkusuyla
(Irer kiynuma ?)

Acılar yaslar
Gizlenir kuytulara
Sonra günahlar
Uzanır uykulara
Mehtap yol vermez
Karanlık pusulara
Başlar sularda akşam

O sensin o sensin

Translation

That is you

Mornings come swirling down
Memories awaken
Sailing from Ionia
To Symma’s streets
Bearing a scent of jasmine
The texture of the past
Fearing abandonment
Take you in their arms

Long forgotten
My happy childhood
My first love smiles faintly
My bitterness faints away
It is here that I was born
It is here my bondage lies
All along with the secrets of a history
It is here I want to die

The sorrow, the mourning
Hide in places dark
The sins we have sinned
Lie in deep slumber
The full moon uncovers
Those who lay in ambush
On the waters the evening drifts down

Our loves are in safekeeping
Our loves are in Artemis’ care
As the night brakes into day
With the first rays of the sun

Bearing a scent of jasmine
The texture of the past
Fearing abandonment


The sorrow, the mourning
Hide in places dark
The sins we have sinned
Lie in deep slumber
The full moon uncovers
Those who lay in ambush
On the waters the evening drifts down

That is you
