Bir Çocuk Sevdim [English translation]

I saw a boy far away,

His eyes mournful, even fearful.

Despite everything for a split second the boy smiled

Warm, simple but a little suspicious

I loved a boy far away,

I supposed this was his yearning too.

However he, with his one stare, stripped me

Off my veils, merely merely by his feelings

I have not seen such a heart, such a love

Now a boy grows day by day

He caressed all sorrows one by by,

Coiling up to a secret hope, a little resentful.

I saw a boy far away,

I little boyish, a little manlike, a little nobody.

In his hands wet* time bouquets,

He chose a path that has not been taken before.

I loved a boy far away,

Tomorrow in one hand, yesterday on the other.

Due to getting old prematurely, he seems a little sad,

He laughes away, looking at world condition.

I have not seen such a heart, such a love

Now a boy grows day by day

He caressed all sorrows one by by,

Coiling up to a secret hope, a little resentful.
