Melike Şahin

English

I’ve searched a lot, there’s no way
There’s no end to this departure
I should stay in your arms, my hands around your neck
Let’s burn, strike the match

What kind of gaze is that?
Such steep slopes
Your love rolled down, pierced into my heart
Are you out to harm me?

Don’t waste time with this and that
Understand, sister, it’s a love destroyed

Look at this fire
Only you can stop me
You can stop me
I know your ways
Only you can fill my bottomless pit
You can fill it

Look at this fire
Only you can stop me
You can—you can stop me
I know your ways
Only you can fill my bottomless pit
You can fill it

Don’t waste time with this and that
Understand, sister, it’s a love destroyed

Look at this fire
Only you can stop me
You can stop me
I know your ways
Only you can fill my bottomless pit
You can fill it

Look at this fire
Only you can stop me
You—you can stop me
I know your ways
Only you can fill my bottomless pit
You can fill it

Original

Çok aradım yolu yok
Bu gidişin sonu yok
Durmalı koynunda, ellerim boynunda
Yanalım, kibriti çak

O ne biçim bakışlar?
Nasıl da dik yokuşlar
Aşkın yuvarlandı, kalbime saplandı
Canıma kastın mı var?

Onla bunla uğraşma boşa
Anla, abla mahvolmuş aşktan

Şu ateşe bir bak
Beni ancak sen durdurursun
Sen durdurursun
Bilirim huyunu
Dipsiz kuyumu sen doldurursun
Sen doldurursun

Şu ateşe bir bak
Beni ancak sen durdurursun
Sen-Sen durdurursun
Bilirim huyunu
Dipsiz kuyumu sen doldurursun
Sen doldurursun

Onla bunla uğraşma boşa
Anla, abla mahvolmuş aşktan

Şu ateşe bir bak
Beni ancak sen durdurursun
Sen durdurursun
Bilirim huyunu
Dipsiz kuyumu sen doldurursun
Sen doldurursun

Şu ateşe bir bak
Beni ancak sen durdurursun
Sen-Sen durdurursun
Bilirim huyunu
Dipsiz kuyumu sen doldurursun
Sen doldurursun
