The Darkest Dark [Turkish translation]

The Darkest Dark...

What's that in the corner of my room,

I think it's going to eat me soon

Oh no, that's just my closet door

But, what's that rustling, moving, hustling

Creaking noises,

Girls and boys,

I don't want to sleep here anymore

In the darkest dark I see a

Scary shark, it's getting nearer

In the darkest dark I hear a

Bark from who knows where, or what, or why

Scared here in the darkest dark

I wish this was a sunny park

With slides and swings, and things that were well lit

There's aliens around my bed

I pull the sheet up on my head

My nightlight doesn't help one little bit

What's that on the floor there in my room

I think it's going to eat me soon

But looking close, I see

That's just my underpants

I'm so scared here in the darkest dark

I'm sniffling like a sick aardvark

Whose nose is full of little squirmy ants

I'm wide awake and

Knees are shaking

Stomach's aching

I'm not faking

I'm all wet

I think I peed my pants

In the window, what's that light there

In the darkest, darkest night there

All the sparkling lights there from

A million tiny suns, and moons, and stars...hmm

I can only see the stars

When it is the darkest dark

That's a very important insight

Now what's that in the corner of my room

It's moons and stars, and morning soon

Instead of 'bad', I'll say 'good'night

Goodnight
