Hayat Bu İşte [English translation]

Sometimes i say - i wish i also could leave

there is an istanbul in me that i can not give up

for maybe, one day u will walk across my bridges

for that, i cannot destroy it, nor i can tear and throw it

This indeed is life.

When you can fly away,

you, instead are captured within four walls

And while you are looking for a reason to live,

you find one to die.

Tell me, what does it matter if it is paved with gold?

My hopes are a fractured jug, flowing away slowly.

Tell me, what is the point of living in a golden cage?

As one side of me awaits you, the other side awaits death.

This indeed is life.

When you can fly away,

you, instead are captured within four walls

And while you are looking for a reason to live,

you find one to die.

This indeed is life.

When you can fly away,

you, instead are captured within four walls

And while you are looking for a reason to live,

you find one to die.

When you can fly away,

you, instead are captured within four walls

And while you are looking for a reason to live,

you find one to die.
