Текст и перевод песни Zulfu Livaneli - Bulut Mu Olsam

Bulut Mu Olsam

Denizin üstünde ala bulut
Yüzünde gümüş gemi
Içinde sarı balık
Dibinde mavi yosun
Kıyıda bir çıplak adam
Durmuş düşünür.

Bulut mu olsam,
Gemi mi yoksa?
Balık mı olsam,
Yosun mu yoksa? .
Ne o, ne o, ne o.
Deniz olunmalı, oğlum,
Bulutuyla, gemisiyle, balığıyla, yosunuyla

If I Were a Cloud

A cottony cloud hangs over the sea
With a silver ship on her face
Within her is a yellow fish
Beneath her, blue seaweed
On the shore is a naked man
Standing and pondering.

Should I be the cloud,
Or perhaps the ship?
Should I be the fish,
Or perhaps the seaweed. .
Neither this, nor that, nor that.
One should be the sea, my dear,
With its clouds and ships, its fish and seaweed.
