Neyim Var Ki [English translation]

There is a garden

On one end it’s flowering, the other end a dry desert

On one end rainbows, one end with a desert

We’re the ones stuck in no-man’s-land

Far from failing out of school yet within sight of grief

victory is always written in blood

if only people could see this, we could win all battles with friendship

one day at a time, sunrise to sunset

the sun goes down the sinner free till sunrise

there is a garden everywhere

prayers go out calling for help a thousand times

it’s no use, this is bad…

no solutions, it’s a curse…

like it was in the beginning…

let it stay that way…

sago & ceza here with the rest

a bond with rap

muses of understanding

my hands are tired

Entrusted to this body is

a mystical gift, this way of thinking

over the years I’ve gained experience

doing became a natural reaction

I was molded into a flower, violet I became

I painted the fields

I became the first ray of daybreak,

a torn page of a calendar hanging in a soldiers room

I became the hope residing in the number left

I’m where I want to be

Give a minute this man can’t talk

Stuttering, I’m speechless

the mugs and the coffee all memories I hold

like a shot this love, madly drunk

the guardians of legionnaire hordes

what else do I have but rap?

Waterfalls in these gardens save from

The flaming hounds riding the rays

knowing the desert is where waters don’t fall

There are fountains everywhere,find one

Attempt to be of those who submit

All we want is peace

no sheets left under you

no money or bling

but again smile once

now smile one more time

even if once in a blue moon

*your rosy smile will sustain

the rose in the desert

morning is over and so are we

here gone and lost in the middle

leaving our words and rap

for posterity is enough

Hey! rhyme without reason

Stop flowing in my veins.

Blood is clotting my temple

I don’t just have one sentence

I’ll be buried in rhyme

My couplets & my past

The handprint of my slaps…

A black pencil in my hands

& my black eyes peering

On my path a traveler I’m scouting

I’m lost

My creator, Allah…I’m torn with regret for my youth

A toy gun became a remedy

I’m very used to it…

I’m living today…

Tomorrow is unknown…

A thousand commandments and a thousand punishments

living this way evermore?

If only I was honey so I may drip

I one heart, one hate on the face of the earth

And I have a thousand penalties
