Kız Çocuğu [English translation]

It's me knocking on the doors

On the doors one after the other

I can't be seen in your eyes

For deaths can't be seen in eyes

It has been some ten years

Since I died in Hiroshima

But I'm still a seven years old girl

Dead children don't grow up

My hair was the first to catch the fire

My eyes burned and charred

I just became a handful of ashes

My ashes got scattered into the air

(There's nothing at all that I'm asking you for myself

Well, a child who burned like a paper can't even eat candies)

I’m knocking on your door...

Aunt, uncle, give a signature...

Children shalln't get killed

So that they are also able to eat candies
