Merhaba Nalan [English translation]

Hello Nalân... Is this you?

Or I thought this is you;

Let someone pinch me off

Come to light and let me see

Your fake eyes

That ruin me

Hello Nalân

Did I get you from payoff, beauty

You made us get stupidized again

However how beautifully we had forgotten

And how beautifully that foolish soap opera had ended

You know, in last episode

You went to fabricator Nubar Bey's

Mansion in Tarabya

You know, you refused me

Beside my friend Halit Akçatepe

And at that moment

You are done for me

Like a stuff that even a junk does not get

Hello Nalân

Passenger without ticket of the sea of regret

Hello, second class character actor of becoming artist dreams

Holy crap dear audience*

Holy crap... holy crap

Look, I'll cry now

Let someone turn off

Broken valve of my eyes

Yet, we got wet together on the factory road

On many rainy days

And that day, groaning is a poor animal that Nubar Bey crashed and ran

On roadside mud

And your selfish heart

That you always reserve for yourself

Also ached for that poor dog

And I saw you like that for the first time

And my veins ached like that for the first time

Hello Nalân... Hello

The most showy girl of our poor neighborhood

Hello, glorious starfish

Got caught into the wrong nets

When I look at you, I would fill like clouds

I would fill but I could not rain in no way

When you look at me

I would have a crying in my throat

I would be proud and not cry

How I was keen on you

You know, animals lick their cubs

Precisely like that

What a passion we had

You know, how Ferhat dug through the mountains

Precisely like that

And what a leaving it was

You know, a train arrives and pass over you

Precisely like that

Ugh Nalân ugh

If you knew how I hurt

You would die of knowing this

Let me tell a little

You know if you were stone

I mean if you were stone;

You would split in half

Don't go Nalân, stop

Don't go again, please

Don't mind my silly words

No, I am not crying

I suppose I got smoke in my eyes

Perhaps you were right

Neither you have luck of the Irish in this neither

Nor grow tall

Further your mother died

And your street

Was too narrow to bear the pain

Everything was going wrong

People dropped everything

They were obsessed with us

We have no money

The roof above us was draining

Arab girl was looking out of the window**

After you abandon, I...

Never ask that

I ruined every work I start

Because it was one way to forget you

I paid all my income to wine

But your wedding dress exists

I didn't sell the house with bay windows which is keepsake from my father

I haven't forgotten you

Even for one single day

Hello Nalân

Hello sad angel

Hello my unfortunate, my unlucky

Hello my shivering hand, my aching waist

My hurting knee, my irreplaceable

But Necdet Tosun is dead Nalân

You will cook and

I will make salad from now on

I will plant the garden with flowers you like

Although not like Sami Haziness did

Kemal Sunal is dead too, Nalân

We bid farewell to warm-hearted uncle's one by one

And the world have become dirty

The movies have spoiled

Those innocent loves don't exist anymore

You exist, I exist

And there is a cruel world outside

The main film starts now

And all seats are empty in this cinema

Hello Nalân, hello

You piggy in the middle, I blindman's buff

I love you

From where it becomes thin

Let it broke from there***
