Gölge

Aklýný insanca kullanamamak

Düþünüp doðruyu bulamamak

Bilgelerden uzak durarak, ne hazindir

Ýnsaný olmayan bir gölge gibi yaþamak

Çýkar çaðý olsa da yaþadýðýmýz

Kanma, kalýcý deðil bu çað da geçecek

Her konuda rüþvete þatafata tok

Ýnsan evladý olan bir gün aranacak

Gölgeler karadýr gölgeler karanlýk

Kim korkmaz, gelecek için seçer karanlýðý

Bir güneþ gelir elbet aydýnlatýr gerçekleri

Kaldýrýr üstümüze kinle örtülen zifiri örtüleri…

The Shadow

Not being able to use one’s intellect in a humane way

Not being able to deliver and find the right way

By being away from the wise, how pathetic it is

Living like a shadow without a human being

Even what experience indicates an age of interest

Don’t be fooled, this isn’t permanent, this period shall pass

Notice the corruption and gaudiness in every issue

A true human will be sought after one day

Shadows are black, shadows are dark

Who wouldn’t fear, who would choose darkness for the future

For certain a sun will arrive and shed light on realities

Lifting off the pitch dark covers put upon us with vengeance…
