Lyrics and translation Bülent Ortaçgil - Beyazın Şarkısı
Siyahlara
hep
gri
dedik
We
always
called
blacks
gray
Darılmasın
diye
beyazlar
So
as
not
to
offend
the
whites
Rüzgarın
adını
esinti
koyduk
ki
We
called
the
wind
a
breeze
Korkmasınlar
So
they
wouldn't
be
afraid
Bir
zamanlar
çiçektiler
Once
they
were
flowers
Sulanmadılar
soldular
They
wilted
because
they
weren't
watered
Yumuşaktılar
They
were
soft
Taş
oldular
ki
They
turned
to
stone
Kırılmasınlar
So
they
wouldn't
break
Prensesler
ve
prensler
The
princesses
and
princes
Hiç
bir
zaman
gelmediler
Never
came
Birini
beklemek
en
kolay
iş
ki
Waiting
for
someone
is
the
easiest
thing
to
do
İncinmesinler
So
they
wouldn't
get
hurt
Bedenimiz
bize
yabancı
Our
bodies
are
foreign
to
us
Yasaklarımız
var
şşşşşş
We
have
our
taboos,
shhh
Aşkımız
basite
indirgenmesin
ki
Don't
let
our
love
be
simplified
Utanmasınlar
So
they
wouldn't
be
ashamed
Kimi
değiştirmeyi
bilmezdi
Some
didn't
know
how
to
change
Kimi
zaten
hiç
istemezdi
Some
never
wanted
to
Bırakın
dünyayı
yerinde
kalsın
ki
Let
the
world
stay
as
it
is
Ürkmesinler
So
they
wouldn't
be
scared
Koca
adamın
kurdu
kocamaz
The
big
man's
wolf
can't
age
Kocasa
bile
kendi
anlamaz
Even
if
it
does,
he
doesn't
understand
Benim
şarkılar
biraz
farklıdır
My
songs
are
a
little
different
Kusura
bakmasınlar
Please
don't
hold
it
against
me
