Arka Mahalle [English translation]

i cried, my tears turned into a sea

i couldn't tell my sufferings to anybody

although i was shot with bullets in the back district (literally, when i came to bullets. "mahle" is short way of saying "mahalle")

and i fell onto the ground i didn't say ouch! once

i couldn't tell you what'd happened to me

how many times they'd beaten/hit me

i didn't tell your name

may your house be ruined

i cried, my tears fell into the fire

but i couldn't put out this fire

i wrote you inside me in screams

i couldn't make your face smile even once
