PARADOX’s KISKANIR RENGİNİ Turkish Lyrics English Translation
Mehmet Eren Elbozan pens lyrics from the perspective of a man haunted by a relationship that started when he was nineteen. He describes drinking every night and wishing he never let go of his lover’s hands, even from the words that hurt him. The writer uses nature to praise his muse, singing ‘The greens of spring are jealous of your color’ (Kıskanır rengini baharda yeşiller).
(Çamura saplansam yardım edebilir misin?)(If I get stuck in the mud, could you help me?)
Geçmiş anılar için yaktım bir sigaraI lit a cigarette for the memories of the past,
Elimde hiçbir şey yok kafamdaysa ZiganaI have nothing in my hands, but my mind is at the Zigana peaks.
Altımda Lambo olsa ne fark eder senin için?What would it matter to you if I were driving a Lambo?
Senin tek istediğin iki kişilik bir dramaAll you ever wanted was a drama for two,
Gerek var mıydı sence bunca drama?Do you think there was any need for all this drama?
Kimseyi satmadım ve hep sadık kaldım planaI never sold anyone out and I always stuck to the plan,
19’umda tanıştım senin lanet aşkınlaI met your cursed love when I was only nineteen.
İçiyorum her gece geri dön Allah aşkınaI drink every night, so come back for God’s sake.
Kıskanır rengini baharda yeşillerThe greens of spring are jealous of your color,
Sevda büyüsü gibisin sen FiruzeYou are like a spell of love, Firuze.
Sen nazlı bir çiçek, bir orman kuytusuYou’re a delicate flower, a secluded corner of the forest,
Üzüm buğusu gibisin sen FiruzeYou’re like the mist on a grape, Firuze.
Kafamda onca şeyThere are so many things on my mind,
Hiçbiri kapatmaz içimdeki yaraları eyvahbut none of them can heal the wounds inside me, alas.
Bu son değil gibiIt feels like this isn’t the end.
Yoksa hiç mi bitmeyecek bütün bunlar eyvahOr will all of this never end, alas?
Kapalı tüm kapılarAll the doors are closed.
Ne bir çıkış yolu ne de başka bir yol daha varThere’s no way out and no other path left to take.
Aklımda tüm anılarAll the memories are in my mind.
Yabancı bir kalbe tutunmanın birçok yolu varThere are many ways to hold onto a stranger’s heart.
İstediğin canımsa hala eğer sen de söyleIf it’s still my life that you want, then just say so.
Nasıl geçer hayatımız anlamam ki böyleI don’t understand how our lives can go on like this,
Bilmem olabilir miyiz yeniden?I don’t know if we can ever be ‘us’ again.
Keşke kopmasaydım hiç o ellerindenI wish I had never let go of your hands,
Güzelce bana bakan o gözlerindenor those eyes that used to look at me so beautifully.
Kalbime saplanan bıçak gibi sözlerindenEven from your words that stabbed my heart like a knife.
Allah’ım nasip et ne olur hükümüm verilmedenPlease God, grant me my wish before my final judgment is passed.
Verilmeden, ahBefore it’s passed, ah.
Kıskanır rengini baharda yeşillerThe greens of spring are jealous of your color,
Sevda büyüsü gibisin sen FiruzeYou are like a spell of love, Firuze.
Sen nazlı bir çiçek, bir orman kuytusuYou’re a delicate flower, a secluded corner of the forest,
Üzüm buğusu gibisin sen FiruzeYou’re like the mist on a grape, Firuze.
Kıskanır rengini baharda yeşillerThe greens of spring are jealous of your color,
Sevda büyüsü gibisin sen FiruzeYou are like a spell of love, Firuze.
Sen nazlı bir çiçek, bir orman kuytusuYou’re a delicate flower, a secluded corner of the forest,
Üzüm buğusu gibisin sen FiruzeYou’re like the mist on a grape, Firuze.
