Lyrics and translation Candan Erçetin - Milyonlarca Kuştuk

Milyonlarca Kuştuk

Her kim ki kıskançlık gölünde yüzer
Bilsin ki ulaşamaz o Kaf Dağı'na
Bülbül ki aşk denizlerinde gezer
Uçamaz ki başka güllerin narına
Her kim ki bencillik dağına tırmanır
Bilsin ki kaderi yalnız kalmaktır
Şahin ki hırs ovalarında saklanır
Avladım zanneder ama kendi avlanır
Biz milyonlarca kuştuk, Kaf Dağı'na kanat açtık
Acı çektik yaralandık, bilmiyorduk aldandık
Kimimiz yollarda kaldık, dünya malına kandık
Kimimiz sebat ettik, yedi vadiyi aştık
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, zaman mekan tanımaz
Uzun yol yolcusudur, bulmadan aşkı kanmaz
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, uzak yakın tanımaz
Gönül yol yorgunudur, yanmadan huzur bulmaz
Her kim ki inkar limanında demirler
Eremez hiçbir zaman gönlünün sırrına
Kuzgun ki hakikat ormanında bekler
Bilsin ki yarasız çıkamaz yarına
Her kim ki ayrılık vadisinde durur
Bilsin ki ne ararsa kendinde bulur
Biz milyonlarca kuştuk, Kaf Dağı'na kanat açtık
Acı çektik yaralandık, bilmiyorduk aldandık
Kimimiz yollarda kaldık, dünya malına kandık
Kimimiz sebat ettik, yedi vadiyi aştık
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, zaman mekan tanımaz
Uzun yol yolcusudur, bulmadan aşkı kanmaz
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, uzak yakın tanımaz
Gönül yol yorgunudur, yanmadan huzur bulmaz
Gönül
Durma, uç
Yorulma, uç
Yılma, uç
Gönül
Durma, uç
Yorulma, uç
Uç
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, zaman mekan tanımaz
Uzun yol yolcusudur, bulmadan aşkı kanmaz
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, uzak yakın tanımaz
Gönül yol yorgunudur, yanmadan huzur bulmaz
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, zaman mekan tanımaz
Uzun yol yolcusudur, bulmadan aşkı kanmaz
Gönül bu durmaz uçar, uzak yakın tanımaz
Gönül yol yorgunudur, yanmadan huzur bulmaz

Millions of Birds

Whoever swims in the lake of jealousy
Know that you will not reach Mount Kaf
The nightingale that wanders through the seas of love
Cannot fly to the blossom of other roses
Whoever climbs the mountain of selfishness
Know that their destiny is to be alone
The falcon that hides in the plains of ambition
Thinks it hunts but is itself the prey
We are millions of birds, we spread our wings for Mount Kaf
We suffered, we were wounded, we did not know, we were deceived
Some of us stayed on the roads, we were fooled by worldly goods
Some of us persevered, we crossed the seven valleys
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no time or place
It is a traveler on a long journey, it cannot be satisfied without finding love
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no distance or nearness
The heart is tired of the road, it cannot find peace without burning
Whoever anchors in the harbor of denial
Can never reach the secret of their heart
The raven that waits in the forest of truth
Know that it cannot come out of tomorrow without a wound
Whoever stands in the valley of separation
Know that whatever they seek, they find in themselves
We are millions of birds, we spread our wings for Mount Kaf
We suffered, we were wounded, we did not know, we were deceived
Some of us stayed on the roads, we were fooled by worldly goods
Some of us persevered, we crossed the seven valleys
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no time or place
It is a traveler on a long journey, it cannot be satisfied without finding love
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no distance or nearness
The heart is tired of the road, it cannot find peace without burning
Heart
Do not stop, fly
Do not tire, fly
Do not give up, fly
Heart
Do not stop, fly
Do not tire, fly
Fly
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no time or place
It is a traveler on a long journey, it cannot be satisfied without finding love
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no distance or nearness
The heart is tired of the road, it cannot find peace without burning
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no time or place
It is a traveler on a long journey, it cannot be satisfied without finding love
The heart does not stop, it flies, it knows no distance or nearness
The heart is tired of the road, it cannot find peace without burning
