Teskar Tebki

Because love has tilted your luck,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because in your eyes morning is night,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because your head isn’t right,
and because the pretty one turned out a slut,
and because you were a fool in the tale,
and because your wisdom is still small,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because the “friendship” was a whore,
and the laughter turned out a jinx,
and the pale faces of the past
left a bleeding wound in your heart,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
Because your wisdom is still small,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
Leaving a bleeding wound in your heart,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because your head isn’t right,
and because the pretty one turned out a slut,
and because you were a fool in the tale,
and because your wisdom is still small,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because the “friendship” was a whore,
and the laughter turned out a jinx,
and the pale faces of the past
left a bleeding wound in your heart,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
And despite all that you still feel
that love is the sixth obligation,
and worse, at the smallest incident
you run off drunk and wrecked.
You sit and cry, get drunk, cry,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
And despite all that you still feel
that love is the sixth obligation,
and worse, at the smallest incident
you run off drunk and wrecked.
You sit and cry like a child.
 
And you say your mother died early
because your country’s palm is full of sorrow,
and your friends loved young women
while you loved cotton dolls.
 
And you say your mother died early
because your country’s palm is full of sorrow,
and your friends loved young women
while you loved cotton dolls.
 
You whose tear is a stone in your eye,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
And in your heart a branch has taken root,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Your drinking mate never imagined
you’d get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because love has tilted your luck,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because in your eyes morning is night,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because your wisdom is still small,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Leaving a bleeding wound in your heart,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Your drinking mate never imagined
you’d get drunk and cry like a child.
 
You whose tear is a stone in your eye,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
And in your heart a branch has taken root,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Because your wisdom is still small,
you get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Your drinking mate never imagined
you’d get drunk and cry like a child.
 
Leaving a bleeding wound in your heart.
You whose tear is a stone in your eye.
Because love has tilted your luck.
