Текст и перевод песни Cem Adrian - Bir Melek Ölürken

Bir Melek Ölürken

Sustu içimdeki
Yorgun yüzündeki
Düştü elindeki
Öldü, bir melekti

Sen sen sen giderken
Kalbim burada kalırken
Ellerim sessiz soğuk ve suskun öyle dururken
Yalnızlık gittiğin yoldan bana geri gelirken
Gözlerimden yaş yerine sessiz harfler damlarken

Sen sen sen giderken
Ben ben ben kalırken
Ayak seslerinle bütün camlar pencereler inerken
Bir veda saçlarımdan tutup beni yerlerde sürüklerken
Yüzümde ne acı, ne keder
Sana son kez bakarken

Sen sen sen giderken
Bir kalp burada kalırken
Bir şehri bir tekmeyle benim üstüme yıkarken
Bir dua dudaklarından düşüp paramparça olurken
Sen sen sen giderken
Ben ben ben kalırken

Sustu içimdeki
Yorgun yüzündeki
Düştü elindeki
Öldü, bir melekti

Yağmur gecenin karanlığını gökten söküp atarken
Rüzgar vurup bulutlarına beyaz şimşekler çakarken
Uykusundan uyanmış çocuklar korkmuşlar ağlarlarken
İçlerinden biri neden tanrı çok mu üzgün ki derken
Göç yollarında kuşlar kaybolmuş ölürlerken
Bir deniz kıyısında bir adam hala onu sayıklarken
Gökyüzüne açılmış eller birer birer kapanırken
Sen sen sen giderken
Bir meleği öldürürken

Veda etmeden gidilmez çocuk
Bu vedadan sayılmaz çocuk
Bir melek ölürken
Böyle sessiz durulmaz
Çocuk!

As An Angel Dies

The one inside me fell silent
The one on your tired face
The one in your hand fell
She died, she was an angel

You, you, you as you were leaving
While my heart stayed here
While my hands remained silent, cold, and speechless
Loneliness came back to me from the path you took
While silent letters, instead of tears, dripped from my eyes

You, you, you as you were leaving
I, I, I as I was staying
As all the windows and panes descended with your footsteps
As a farewell grabbed my hair and dragged me on the ground
Neither pain nor sorrow on my face
As I looked at you for the last time

You, you, you as you were leaving
While a heart stayed here
As you kicked a city and collapsed it on top of me
As a prayer fell from your lips and shattered into pieces
You, you, you as you were leaving
I, I, I as I was staying

The one inside me fell silent
The one on your tired face
The one in your hand fell
She died, she was an angel

As the rain ripped the darkness of the night from the sky
As the wind struck and white lightning flashed in its clouds
As children awakened from their sleep, frightened and crying
As one of them asked, "Why is God so sad?"
As birds on migration routes got lost and died
As a man on a seashore still mumbled her name
As hands opened to the sky closed one by one
You, you, you as you were leaving
As you were killing an angel

You don't leave without saying goodbye, child
This doesn't count as a goodbye, child
As an angel dies
You don't stay silent like this
Child!
