Bi öyle bi böyle [English translation]

Sometimes like this, sometimes like that*, tell me who I am if you understand

A rock on my back, an empty box in my hands

I can love this game if I want

Different kinds of animals around a table

We're like wearing mask, weird somehow, some weird attitudes

Time has fallen behind us, in this hill we climb

Everyone speak their names when its their turn, cards in our hands

It wouldnt be enough if I said less

But I am not willing to say much

We got stuck here when running away, we're on the ass of an ox

Choose your words well, so we wont be sitting on its horn

Lots of traps, lots of unjustness everywhere

Sometimes, I say, sometimes Kadir*

Would I be happier as a monkey

Or am I already the ass of a monkey?

Am I 40 years trash of madam Emine*

An idol of hopelessness?

An unexpected start?

A regular bumpkin?

Hidden determination?

Black or white, straight or skewed, Ahmet or Mehmet,* who am I?

Sometimes like this, sometimes like that, tell me who I am if you understand

A rock on my back, an empty box in my hands

I can love this game if I want

You know.. we sat down and had a rest of three hours and so on

We sat down and had a rest for five centuries and so on

How crazy I am (nope)

I'm the craziest

Look, I'm writing right here

You're not that crazy

While I'm whirling around with an armful of stones

A couple of them flew out, sat on people's heads

On heads, on heads, on different heads

On heads that were garnished in new packages

Dream, wish, wait, try

And again, the same chit chat is made one more time

We're waiting for peace in rooms with plenty of furniture

Leashes in our hands, we're swinging them together

Sometimes like this, sometimes like that, tell me who I am if you understand

A rock on my back, an empty box in my hands

I can love this game if I want
