Ayrılığın Hediyesi [English translation]

Now it's the time past being without you

Star, sky, moon are up there all bright

The consoled children are already silent

I just got stuck in the solitude

of the night, I am the one not consoled.

Now I taught my eyes how to cry

So that tears become the neckless of

the shy neck

Let this be my gift

of separation to you.

Without clownery,

To be able to make you laugh,

Without stealing bread, to be able to feed

And without wronging

Like to be able to anticipate

the rising sun

all the light inside you

I had fugitive wishes

sometimes, you know

Now I judge and hang

all my good intentions

Let this be the end, the end.

Now it's the time of trouble of your absense

Good morning to a day without you

Those who work are already gone

I am the one who is left in the pacing of the night

I am the one who has never slept

Now I taught my eyes how to cry

So that tears become the neckless of

the shy neck

Let this be my gift

of separation to you.

Without hitting my head to the wall

to be able to know you

To be able to understand what is in your head and

Without losing the instant smile

on your face

To be able to freeze all the time

just like that

I ripped up myself like crazy

Damn it!

From now on, I smoke as much as

three packets of cigarettes

Whatever, my dear, anyway

Let it be howsoever it will turn out...
