Gülten Akın

OTHER TIME

When things do not go well
You switch to the other time
A star falls down to earth
Ground shakes all of a sudden
Children with their late eyes
Waiting for the not rising sun 
There on the mountains
High snow hard winds
Until the forgotten
Daffodil blooms

ÖTEKİ ZAMAN

ÖTEKİ ZAMAN

Şeyler yolunda gitmediğinde
Öteki zaman geçiyorsun
Bir yıldız düşüyor dünyaya
Yer sarsılıyor birden
Ölü gözleriyle çocuklar
Doğmayacak güneşi bekliyor
Dağlarda
Ne çok kar ve rüzgar
Unutulan nergis
Açıncaya kadar
Close

Until the forgotten
Daffodil blooms

Until the forgotten
Daffodil blooms
