Текст и перевод песни Ahmet Kaya - Yangın Gecesi

Yangın Gecesi

Yangın gecesini giyinmiştim
Ateş İstanbul′a bulaşmıştı
Yalnızdım zehirdim zehirliydim
Bütün köprülerim atılmıştı
Gemimi ellerimle batırmıştım
İstanbul nefes nefes yanıyordu
Sen tutuşmuştun yanıyordun
Çığlıkların kulağımdan gitmeyecek
Saçların tutuşmuştu yanıyordu
Ateş dudaklarına bulaşmıştı
Kimsecik yangını görmüyordu
Bir damlacık su vermiyordu
Sen bir cehennemdin yanıyordun
İstanbul bir cehennemdi yanıyordu
Ben eski cehennemdim yanıyordum
Şiirlerim haykırmaya başlamıştı
Duman beni boğmazsa kör etmezse
Gözlerim kör olmazsa ölmezsem
Seni görsem suçlu gözlerini görsem
Yangın gecesinde kaybolduğunu
Başıma taş yağmasa düşmese
Gemiler ateş almasa gitmese
İstanbul yanmasa sen yanmasan
Ben kendi kendimi yakacaktım

Night of the Fire

I had put on a night of fire
The fire had spread to Istanbul
I was lonely, I was poison, I was toxic
All my bridges had been burned
I had sunk my ship with my own hands
Istanbul was burning, out of breath
You were on fire, you were burning
Your screams will not leave my ears
Your hair was on fire, it was burning
The fire had spread to your lips
No one could see the fire
No one was giving a drop of water
You were a hell, you were burning
Istanbul was a hell, it was burning
I was an old hell, I was burning
My poems had started to scream
If the smoke doesn't choke me, doesn't blind me
If my eyes don't go blind, if I don't die
Let me see you, let me see your guilty eyes
You were lost in the night of the fire
May no stone fall on my head
May no ships catch fire and leave
May Istanbul not burn, may you not burn
I would have burned myself
