Gidiyorum [English translation]

There hasn't been anyone else, nor will there be

My door won't open unless it's you knocking

This fire burning inside me now

Don't assume it will ever come to an end

I ain't ashamed my rose, I'm a lunatic

My world has torn apart, I'm a wreck

I have wanted you so much, more than anything

I am smitten, I'm a wanderer

Why haven't you been mine

Why haven't you dressed these wounds of mine

I'm fed up of moving forward

Why don't you waylay and stop me

I'm leaving these lands

Let all the winds be yours

When you're away from me, you're in a dream

I wish one day you'll be ashamed

(or "you'll wake up"- the Turkish isn't clear- utanirsin or uyanirsin)

Years later one day, when you're old

When your silky hair goes gray

When you're strewed like dead leaves

You will be left all alone

Whereas I have loved you so much, so much

I had gathered all my flowers for you

(or "I had given you all my flowers" again Turkish isn't clear- dermistim or vermistim)

Now my hands are empty, my heart drunken

Whereas I had hoped for so much

***POEM***

In my hand,

Drops of desire left from an old-time's love

Behind my back,

Shrieks of knee length muddy memories

I have torn apart and thrown away all

All that's left behind is me

And you inside me,

All the way deep in me...

I'm losing myself, I have missed you my only one

Come and turn me away from this path, come on! I'm waiting...
