Sarı Kurdeleler [English translation]

Last night a wounded little girl's been found

Yellow ribbons have been wrapped around

For one last time the grown-ups wanted to decorate her

With their prohibitions yet again

When I got closer and took a look I saw

The one laying there is my childhood and I've grown up

Watching the funeral rites with my seasonal gown

I went through fruitful gardens with heavenly scents

I ripped a flower, looked at it for the last time

Pinned my flower to my chest

Noone could cut new wounds anymore

Been hurt a lot, it won't sting anymore

If she falls today, she'll get up tomorrow

This girl won't pity herself anymore

(x2)

While words were being spoken after me

I heard of whispers coincidentally

Asked if they knew the laying girl

While she was still breathing

We thought happiness lay hidden in different hearts

We were always half, we were mistaken

Noone could cut new wounds anymore

Been hurt a lot, it won't sting anymore

If she falls today, she'll get up tomorrow

This girl won't pity herself anymore

(x2)

I walked a road from our home

The road was bigger than all of us

From death, from the both of us

And from our pitiful love

Last night a tiny flower died

Today the sun rose up again

Look a little girl just died here

Her soul matured into a woman

Noone could cut new wounds anymore

Been hurt a lot, it won't sting anymore

If she falls today, she'll get up tomorrow

This girl won't pity herself anymore

(x2)
