Seni Elinden Tutmuştum I Had Held You From Your Hand

Seni elinden tutmuştum...yaz geçiyordu
Yaz geçiyordu, biz geçiyorduk
Yazı elinden tutmuştuk

Birazdan geleceksin, bakışacağız
Bakışacağız, hem var hem yok gibi
Hem var hem yok gibi öpüşeceğiz

Aramızda söylenmemiş sözlerin uzaklığı
Aramızda yaşanmamış şeylerin uzaklığı
Yakın ayrılıkların sezgisi tenimizde

Hayat geçiyor biz geçiyorduk
Bir denizin üzgün kıyısında
Güz bir hastalık gibi ilerliyordu

Olgun ışığıyla güz
Ve biz yaklaşan ayrılıkların önünde
Kış duygularına bürünmüşüz

Dışardan ağlayışı geliyor çocuğumuzun


I had held you from your hand...summer was fading
Summer was fading, yet we were fading
We had held summer from its hand

You will come soon, we will look eachother
We will look eachother, as both we exist or we don’t
As both we exist or we don’t, we will kiss eachother

Between us, the distance of the words never said
Between us, the distance of the things never lived
Feeling of the close seperations on our skin

Life was fading, yet we were fading
Near a sad shore of a sea
Autumn was spreading like a dissease

With its matured light, autumn
And we, in front of the reaching seperations
Wrapping with the winter feelings

The cry of our child is coming from outside
