Ben Bir Palyaçoyum [English translation]

All of my dreams get destroyed in the hurricane

It rains, my house swims in the flood

I step into the holes in the sidewalk

My neck gets broken with a smile on my face

My destiny's wheels with broken brakes

Find me as I am waiting in the bus stop

Eight out of my nine lives are already gone

The remaining one's killer is unknown.

I am a clown

I cry inside as my face smiles

I am a clown

I actually cry as I am making others laugh

I get shot in the streets in a January

Or become a hero in the 19th1

I get expelled from my school if I don't show my hair2

Or my pen is broken, I get sentenced

As no one listens to what I say

Only my phone now listens to me3

Even though I am made of curved rock

My ugly4 soul is wrecked with a couple of words5

I am a clown

I cry inside as my face smiles

I am a clown

I actually cry as I am making others laugh

As I wait for life standing on one foot

They call me buzzkill

I am a clown

I cy inside as my face smiles

I am a clown

I actually cry as I am making others laugh
