Sen Ve BenYou and I.
Bambaşka Iki Işığın AltındaBeneath two entirely different lights.
TükenmedenWithout burning out,
Bu Aşkla Yapabiliriz AslındaI know we could actually make it with this love.
Dokunabilseydim Bi’ DefaIf only I could’ve touched you, just once.
Tutabilseydim EliniIf I could’ve just held your hand,
Ah Bi’ Bilsen Içimden GeçeniAh, if you only knew what’s on my mind.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaMaybe we could’ve been something this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaPerhaps we could’ve made it work this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaMaybe we really could’ve been together this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaI feel like we could’ve been real this time.
Içimde Bitmeyen HislerThere are feelings inside me that never end,
Acısı Dinmeyen Izler VarAnd scars whose pain never fades.
Yine De Gelmeni IsterStill, my heart wants you to come back,
Canımı Yakmanı IzlerdimI’d even watch as you hurt me all over again.
Dokunabilseydim Bi’ DefaIf only I could’ve touched you, just once.
Tutabilseydim EliniIf I could’ve just held your hand,
Ah Bir Bilsen Içimden GeçeniAh, if you only knew what’s on my mind.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaMaybe we could’ve been something this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaPerhaps we could’ve made it work this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaMaybe we really could’ve been together this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaI feel like we could’ve been real this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaMaybe we could’ve been something this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaPerhaps we could’ve made it work this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaMaybe we really could’ve been together this time.
Belki De Olabilirdik Bu DefaI feel like we could’ve been real this time.
