This city

(Candan Erçetin)
 
This city sets traps
This city alienates people
This city tires
This city always deceives
 
(Ceza)
 
Every poem written for you
I wish there were your body
Look, i'll give my life, this is my city
My heart has dropped anchor, got overgrown with aglae
My treasure is in your soil, left in a harbour
My memories, my childhood and future
It binded me hand and foot
No matter how far i went i wasn't able to tear
No matter how close i'm to it
I'm as far from it
Traps and lies are everywhere
No word is kept
Everything is filled with lies
 
(Candan Erçetin)
 
This city sets traps
This city alienates people
This city tires
This city always deceives
 
(Ceza)
 
Come, let the climate of this city stay like that
Mirrors are liars
There's an attractive mirror around this city
It'll deceive, you won't even realize
Promises are forgotten
Maybe there will be hope for tomorrow
But this city makes forget
Sometimes reminds and makes you cry and lough
Sometimes living, sometimes kills
This folksong you hear is for you
Rose with thorns and one day to live
I was born in this city, i withered there
 
(Candan Erçetin)
 
Come, let's not sleep in this city's climate
Let's keep all words we gave
Besides, the city dweller singing the folksong is in conceit with you
Despite the city, let's not accumulate the grief, let's not seperate
 
(Ceza)
 
Heart got tied, don't ask
Every sunny day and every starry night it's in melancholy, like us
We're like brothers, trees wet under the rain
Binded with roots won't tear away, it's our misterious essence
I've got a word , in the past day there are like four seasons
This city is mine, and it's ours, realise it
We didn't give up, we were walking with hope on the same road every day
I won't give it up, i won't abandon, i won't leave this city
 
(Candan Erçetin)
 
This city sets traps
This city alienates people
This city tires
This city always deceives
 
(Ceza)
 
Come, let the climate of this city stay like that
All bodies are tired, i wonder why
I won't givd it up, i won't abandon, i won't leave this city
 
(Candan Erçetin)
 
This city tires
 
(Ceza)
 
I won't give it up, i won't abandon, i won't leave this city
