Aynen Öyle [English translation]

Today I looked at the calendar,

I picked it off and threw it away,

I wouldn't do it

if I knew I'd get to know you today.

Today I looked at the calendar,

I picked it off and threw it away,

I wouldn't do it

if I knew I'd get to know you today.

Note the date today,

This is the first scene of our love.

Its curtain has come down on to my heart (like in theatre)

Yes exactly, just like that..

Don't forget the date today,

Words are insufficient to describe it,

I've beaten the destiny to its knees.

Just like that, just like that..

The pen writes, and it runs out,

The destiny writes but it doesn't run out.

May our love not be exhausted/consumed/run out,

Just like that, just like that..

The pen writes, and it runs out,

The destiny writes but it doesn't run out.

May our love not be exhausted/consumed/run out,

Just like that, just like that..

I rushed home running immediately,

I turned my flat all upside down,

The history is here, the destiny is here,

on this calendar paper.
