İşte hayat [English translation]

I had thought that the day you left life had ended.

I had experienced the death the day you left.

I had thought time had stopped the day you left,

turns out, I was wrong.

Here, life is still flowing in its course,

here, life is being lived without you too.

It's said that here life is like that,

time is erasing everything.

See now the memories I once experienced are so far away from me.

The moments filled with you are like a blurry movie.

Look, despite everything, if I think of your eyes time to time,

a green (hopeful) undescribable ache covers every inch of me.

I think now you are a dead sun.

I think now you're a voice without an echo.

I think now you're a lifeless breath.

I think now you're like everyone else.
