***

maNgafanclub International is closing down.

Due to disagreement with maNga and GRGDN on how to proceed with their official fanclub I feel not to continue my work for maNga.

As a courtesy to fans, I am not closing down the already published info on this site.

Goodbye!

maNga history (more at Wikipedia)

The maNga group was founded in 2002 in Turkey, they reached second place at the music contest called "Sing Your Song" after playing in various clubs. Their "base" is at the Limon Bar in Ankara. The group was named after the Japanese cartoon manga. They used to play cover songs of foreign rock bands but their biggest dream was to make an own album with own songs.

The dream came true in 2004, by Sony Music Turkey. The self-titled album became the favourite of young people throughout Turkey, they are invited to various music festivals and have worked with such famous Turkish artists as Koray Candemir (Kargo) and Göksel. Most of the songs on the album was written by the group members.

Members:

¤ Ferman

Full name: Ferman Akgül
Instrument: vocal
Birthdate: 25 December, 1979

Ferman, who was born on 25 December 1979, in Ankara, has graduated from Gazi University in architecture. Ferman, who started his music career playing the guitar, was a solist for a variety of music groups and appeared on stage quite a lot of times. He joined maNga in the beginning of 2002.

He has a wonderful and variable tone of voice, he can perfectly manage the slower, lyrical songs but isn't afraid of letting his voice out when things get "metallic".

¤ Yamyam

Full name: Yağmur Sarıgül
Instrument: Electric guitar
Birthdate: 26 August, 1979

He was born on 26 August 1979, in Antalya. Yağmur, who has been given musical training since primary school, was trained also in piano and violin, before he started playing the guitar. Yağmur became a student of piano at Hacettepe Conservatorium in piano, of violin at the preaprational programme of Bilkent University, guitar at Ankara Anadolu Fine Arts High School and now he studies guitar at the Music Faculty of Gazi University. At the Sing Your Song music contest, where maNga finished 2nd in 2002, he was chosen „Best Musician”.

Being the founder of the band, the others call him the "Father" of maNga. Genious songwriter and mystic personality, he catches attention with his marvellous way of playing the guitar as well as his outstanding stage performance. His often cold appearance covers a witty, sparkling mind and a mild heart.

¤ Cem

Full name: Cem Bahtiyar
Instrument: Bass guitar
Birthdate: 8 January, 1979

He was born in Denizli. He had classic guitar lessons at high school, then finished the Denizli Conservatory and became a student at Bilkent University. Currently he also works with Göksel.

Doing the bass and the background vocals he is energetic and smiling all the time but as it is a requirement for a rock musician, he can be wild and hard on stage.

¤ Efe

Full name : Efe Yılmaz
Instrument : TurnTable
Birthdate: 3 October, 1979

He was born in Ankara. He started making remixes quite early, with equipment set up in his own home. Now he studies at Anatolia University.

His hands do marvels with those disks. He's usually silent at interviews but mostly because Ferman can't shut his mouth for a single moment. Stays in the background but he does those scratchy effects that makes the songs so damn modern and catchy.

¤ Özgür

Full name: Özgür Can Öney
Instrument: Drums
Birthdate: 21 July, 1980

He was born in Ankara. He studies astrology at Ankara University and Anatolia University at the same time. He composed the music for several theatrical plays.

His recently bald head hides a great mind. Usually silent and calm but hits those drums with great power. Beware, skilled in martial arts!

¤ SPA

The mascot of the group, 'who' features in every of their videos, as part of a cartoon.

He was born on 24 August 2004, in Istanbul
Type: toy
Sex: 100% male
State of mind: in love

What can we say of Spa... He is certainly a joint part of the band, however virtual he is. He was born of Efe's idea and got his name froma Turkish word pun, when he was drawn, the guys looked him in amazement and said: "Sıpaya bak" and so he became Spa.

(in Turkish you cannot pronounce two consonants at the beginning of a word and therefore in pronunciation you have to add a vowel according to vowel harmony, so you pronounce SPA as "Sıpa")

KapKaç

Faili meçhul olduk hepimiz
Kesildi dilimiz kesildi sesimiz
Nereye kadar daha gideceksiniz?
Satılık değiliz, bunu böyle biliniz

Kimleri kestiniz kimleri yediniz?
Sandınız ki bizi iyi yemlediniz
Nereye kadar daha gideceksiniz?
Satılık değiliz, bunu böyle biliniz

"Giydiğiniz şeyler uymadı bize beyler"
Diye sokakları bile dar ettiniz
Nereye kadar daha giydireceksiniz ?
Satılık değiliz bunu böyle biliniz

Nereye kadar daha gideceksiniz?
Nereye kadar daha giydireceksiniz?
Soruyoruz artık hesap verin herkese
maNga geliyor maNga geliyor

Vur ve kaç bunun adı kapkaç
Satılık değiliz
Vur ve kaç bunun adı kapkaç
Köleniz değiliz
Vur ve kaç bunun adı kapkaç
Satılık değiliz biz bunu böyle biliniz

Faili meçhul olduk hepimiz ve de
Kesildi dilimiz, kesildi sesimiz
Nereye kadar daha neremizi vereceğiz ?
Satılık değiliz bunu bildiriniz

Sarmış akbabalar leşlerimizi
Toplayalım artık kendimizi
Nereye kadar daha dinleyeceksiniz ?
Satılık değiliz bunu bildiriniz

Kimlere kefil ettiler acaba bizi ?
Kimlere sundular kellemizi ?
Kimler bekliyor son nefesimizi ya da
Kimlere sattılar acaba bizi ?

Soracağız artık hesap verecekler
Buradan ileriye gidemeyecekler
Kapmaya kaçmaya son verecekler
maNga geliyor maNga geliyor

Vur ve kaç bunun adı kapkaç
Satılık değiliz
Vur ve kaç bunun adı kapkaç
Köleniz değiliz
Vur ve kaç bunun adı kapkaç
Satılık değiliz biz bunu böyle biliniz

Robbery

We all became unknown perpetrators
Our tongue was cut, our mouth was shut
How far will you go?
We’re not for sale you’d better now

Who did you shut up, who did you trick?
You thought you had scammed us well
How far will you go?
We’re not for sale, you’d better know

Saying „The things you wear don’t fit our taste, blokes”
You didn’t even let us walk down the roads
Would you even tell us what to wear?
We’re not for sale, you’d better know

How far will you go?
Would you even tell us what to wear?
We demand you to answer this thing
maNga is coming, maNga is coming

Strike and flee, it’s called robbery
We’re not for sale
Strike and flee, it’s called robbery
We’re not your slaves
Strike and flee, it’s called robbery
You’d better know we’re not for sale

We all became unknown perpetrators
Our tongue was cut, our mouth was shut
Which part of us should we give?
We’re not for sale, you’d better know

Vultures gathered around our corpses
Let’s pull ourselves together
How long will you stay silent?
We’re not for sale, you’d better know

Whom did they made us responsible for?
To whom did they give our heads
Who are waiting for our last breath
To whom did they sell us?

We’re asking now, they’ll answer
They won’t go anywhere from here
They’ll put an end to this robbing
maNga is coming, maNga is coming

Strike and flee, it’s called robbery
We’re not for sale
Strike and flee, it’s called robbery
We’re not your slaves
Strike and flee, it’s called robbery
You’d better know we’re not for sale

Bitti Rüya

Bir kez gelmişsin bu saçma dünyaya
Olanları unutmak çok zor inan bana
Sevdiğin insan bile artık yalan söylüyor
Yaşadığın anılar acı vermeye başlıyor

Bir köprüden geçiyorum
Mutlu gibiyim sanki
Geride bir kent bıraktım bir de sevgili
Rüya mı bu, gerçek mi inan anlamıyorum
Bu şehir beni içine çekiyor
Kendimi alamıyorum

Olanlar yetmez gibi bir de mesaj geliyor
"Mutluluklar, hoşçakal"
Birer birer zırvalanıyor
İyice dağıtmak için biraz daha içiyorum
Sonra oturmuş mal gibi zırıl zırıl ağlıyorum

Gidiyorum buralardan, dönüyorum durmadan
Uyan artık uyan, bitti rüya
Seviyorum sormadan, öpüyorum kasmadan
Dayan artık dayan, bitti rüya

Bir kez gelmişsin bu saçma dünyaya
Olanları unutmak çok zor inan bana
Yazdığın satırlar bile artık yalan söylüyor
Söylediğin sözler acı vermeye başlıyor

Bir köprüyü yakıyorum mutlu gibiyim sanki
Geride bir kent bıraktım bir de sevgili
Doğru mu, yanlış mı inan umursamıyorum
Bu şehir beni esir ediyor kendimi alamıyorum

İnanmazsın bir rüya hayatımı değiştiriyor
O mesajı unutmam için bana bir şans veriyor
Rüyaysa bu gerçekten artık uyanmak istiyorum
Mutluluk bile acı veriyor
Çünkü sonu var biliyorum

The dream is over

You came to this world only once
It’s difficult to forget the events, believe me
Even the one you love lies to you
The moments you lived start to hurt you

I’m crossing a bridge
As if I were happy
I left behind a love and city
Is this a dream or reality, I don’t know, believe me
This city draws me in, I can’t handle myself

As if the events weren’t enough there comes a message
„Be happy, take care”
Pointless messages keep coming
I drink some more to be able to forget myself
Then staring like an idiot I burst into sobbing

I’m going away from here, I’m leaving without a stop
The dream is over, wake up now, wake up,
I love without asking, I kiss without force
Endure it, endure, the dream is over

You came to this world only once
It’s difficult to forget the events, believe me
Even the lines you wrote lie to you
The words you said start to hurt you

I’m burning a bridge, as if I were happy
I left behind a love and a city
Right or wrong, I don’t care, believe me,
I can’t handle myself, this city captivates me

You don’t believe but a dream is changing my life
Gives me a chance to forget that message
If this is a dream, I really wanna wake up now
Even happiness hurts
Cuz I know it has an end.

Bir Kadın Çizeceksin

Ne kadar oldu bu hayata geleli
"Söyle, ne olacaksın büyüyünce" diye sorulan sorular tarih oldu,
ama senin kafan hala dolu

Işte benim, işte senin, işte onun diye
Paylaşıyorsun hayatı üç kuruş sevginle
Ne ? O da mı aldattı seni be ?
Eee ? Ne kaldı geriye ?
Bak sen ne yazık ki klasik bir tablosun dostum
Ne yaparsan yap boşsun
Tamam okumuşsun, ama yetmez, sadece bununla dertler bitmez
Çıkacaksın kabuğundan, bunalımdan kurtaracaksın kendini
Ona göre yaşamayı bırakıp döneceksin gerçeklere,
Ama önce

Bir kadın çizeceksin
O'nun gibi bırakıp gitmeyecek
Saklayıp gömeceksin (ki senden başka)
Kimseler sevemeyecek

Şimdi bunlar yetmez gibi bir de kendini aşka mı bıraktın, hadi be
Bırak adam gibi şeylerle uğraşmayı
Herkes gibi takıl yaşa hayatını
Takılamıyorsan bile rol yap, ne yap et ama yarat kendi yalan dünyanı
Çünkü bunlar para ediyor baksana sevgi bile yalan olmuş,
Piyasada kavrulmuş, herkes kudurmuş,
Canım dediğin bile arkandan vurmuş
Tüm bunları bilerek yaşa ve sakın
Ama sakın içindekileri tüketeyim deme
Bir gün gelecek göstereceksin kendini, sevgini, neler istediğini
Şimdilik alacaksın eline kalemi, kusacak dökeceksin nefretini

Birden duracaksın soracaksın kendine
Neden bu düzen böyle, neden herkes sahte
Sonra bakacaksın, göreceksin çaren yok
Devam edeceksin yalandan yaşamaya

Bir gün gelecek göstereceksin kendini, sevgini, neler istediğini
Simdilik alacaksın eline kalemi, kusacak dökeceksin nefretini
Çıkacaksın kabuğundan, bunalımdan kurtaracaksın kendini
Ona göre yaşamayı bırakıp döneceksin gerçeklere

Lyrics & Music : Ferman Akgül

You'll draw a woman

How many „Tell me what you’ll become when you grow up” questions have you heard
Since you were born, they are history now
But your head is still full

Saying it’s mine, it’s yours, it’s hers you share life
With your love not worth even a penny
What? She’s betrayed you, too, right?
So then? What’s left behind?
Look, man, you’re a classic portrait, what a pity
Do whatever you want, you’re free,
OK, you study, but that’s not enough, it won’t end your afflictions
You’ll break out of your shell, you’ll save yourself from depression
You’ll stop living like she wants and you’ll return to reality
But before that

You’ll draw a woman
This one won’t leave and escape like her
You’ll hide and lock her up
So that no one (but you) would love her

And now as if these weren’t enough, you gave yourself to love? Oh my!
Stop dealing with these stupid things,
Follow the masses, live your life
If you can’t do that, pretend, but eat what you’ve cooked, build your own fake world
Cuz these are valued, look, even love seems to be a lie, sold in market,
Everyone’s mad, man,
Even your own words uttered stab you in the back
Live knowing all these and never,
Never say you’ll eat this bullshit
One day you’ll come and show yourself, your love, what you want
But for now you’ll take a pen and pour off, vent your hatred

You’ll stop for a moment to think, you’ll ask yourself
Why this system is like that, why everyone’s fake
But then you’ll see and realize there’s no remedy,
You will continue living a lie

One day you’ll come and show yourself, your love, what you want
But for now you’ll take a pen and pour off, vent your hatred
You’ll break out of your shell, you’ll save yourself from depression
You’ll stop living like she wants and you’ll return to reality

Kal Yanımda

Her gün sabahtan akşama
Saatinle başbaşa
Kalmadı takvimde tek bir sayfa
Kuruyup solma aynaya baka baka
Ne söyleyeceksen söyle sen dobra dobra

Biliyorum yalnızsın sabahtan akşama
Söylemek istiyorsun bir şeyler bana
Ya da vurmak yüzümün ortasına
Ne yapacaksan yap artık hadi durma

Hadi durma, Hadi durma
Hadi vur, Hadi vur bana

Sanki bir şeyler var arkanda
Anlatmaya korkuyorsun bana
Hadi durma hadi vur bana
Bırak onları kal yanımda

Lyrics & Music : Yağmur Sarıgül
Guest vocal : Koray Candemir

Stay with me

Every day from morning to evening
Face to face with the clock
There’s no page left in the calendar
Don’t fade away gazing into the mirror
Say what you wanted to, say frankly!

I know you are alone from morning to evening
You want to tell me something
Or maybe hit me in the face
Whatever you wanna do, do it now!

Come on, come on,
Come on hit me, hit me!

As if there were something deep inside you
But you’re afraid to tell me
Come on, don’t stop, hit me
Leave them, stay with me

Yalan

Elimde saç tokan
Güneş misali mis kokan
Bıraktığın tek parçan
Bir de kocaman bir yalan
Affedilmek istemedin
Nefretimi bekledin
Seni senden başka
Kimse, kimse, kimse affedemez

Bazı şeyler için
İyi olmak yetmiyormuş
Sevilmek için, aşk için
İyi olmak yetmiyormuş

Aşk biraz palavradır
Biraz da aşna, aşna fişna
Biraz da yalandandır
Sevmek birisini ömür boyu

Platonik olma, değmez ona, yazık sana
Aslında hepsi yalan, yalan dolan, herşey yalan
Aşk sevmek değil yalan, yalan dolan her şey, yalan, yalan dolan

Lyrics & Music : Yağmur Sarıgül

Lie

Your hairpin in my hands
Smelling like sunshine
The only thing you left behind
And an enourmous lie
You didn't want to be forgiven
You expectaed my hatred
Nobody else but you
Nobody, nobody else can forgive you

For some things
It was not enough to be good
For love, to be loved
It was not enough to be good

Love is like baloney
And a little coquetry
And some little lie as well
To love someone throughout a lifetime

Don't be upset, she's not worth, sorry for you
Really, all is a lie, everything is a lie, filled with lying
Not love, not affection, a lie, everything is a lie, filled with lying

Libido

Kolay geliyor değil mi herşey sana ?
Yıkmak dökmek vurmak ona buna
İçiyoruz herşeyi içiyoruz doya doya
Ayak uydur sen de sen de hadi, hadi bana
Yeni jenerasyon geliyor adı X
Ne kadar da hoş ne kadar da ciks
Alternatif gençlik şimdi ayakta
Zıplamaya hazırsan durma zıpla
Zıpla, durma

Kızıl mı kızıl kızıl saçlar
Ayağında üç çizgi üç çizgi pabuçlar
Tanıdık geliyor bu tavırlar
Zıplamaya hazırsan durma zıpla

Pantolonunda var uzun bir zincir
Gözleri de sanki bir çilingir
İstediğin kalbi aç, kolayca gir
Al sana pogo durma delir
Zıpla, durma

Alıyoruz sorgulamadan
Yaşıyoruz anlayamadan
Sahip olduklarımız
Bize sahip oluyorlar
Zıpla, durma... DUR

Lyrics & Music : Yağmur Sarıgül

Libido

Everything comes easily to you, ain’t it?
Destroying, beating up this ’n’ that
We take everything, without a stop
Follow me, come on
There’s a new generation coming, it’s name’s X
How pleasant, how trendy
The alternative youth is ready
If you wanna bounce don’t stop, do it!

Your hair so damn scarlet red
Three-striped shoes on your feet
We know this behaviour very well
If you wanna bounce don’t stop, do it!

There’s a long chain on your pants
Its loops looking like a padlock
Open whichever heart you want, easily enter
Do your pogo, don’t stop, go outa your mind
Bounce, don’t stop

We take everything without ever asking
We live our life without understanding
The things we owned
Began to own us
Bounce, don’t stop….. STOP.

İz Bırakanlar Unutulmaz

Bir kız vardı güzeldi sanki ve senindi
Gözlerinde saklı bir belki ve senindi

O çocuk var ya o sendin sanki ve deliydi
Uyusaydı büyürdü belki, ve deliydi
O çocuk var ya o sendin sanki ve deliydi
Derdi ki yarın bitermiş her şey ve bitti
Bir ev vardı küçüktü belki ve bizimdi
Odalarda ışık yüzerdi sanki ve bizimdi
O ev vardı ya bizimdi ama bir gün
Hiç doğamadı güneş ve her şeyi bitirdi
(Anladı birgün bitermiş her şey ve bitti)

Ver ver ateşe ver bizi
Bir iz bırak burada
İz bırakanlar unutulmaz
Ver ver ateşe evimizi
Bir iz bırak burada
İz bırakanlar unutulmaz

Those leaving a sign won't be forgotten

There was a girl, beautiful maybe, and she was yours
A secret in her eyes maybe, and she was yours

There was a kid, maybe it was you, and was mad
If he'd slept maybe he'd ‘ve grown up*, and was mad
There was a kid, maybe it was you, and was mad
He said tomorrow everything would end, and it did

(He understood one day everything would end, and it did)
There was a house, small maybe, and it was ours
There was light in the rooms maybe, and it was ours
There was that house, it was ours, but one day
The sun couldn't rise and he ended everything

Throw, throw us into the flames
Leave a sign here
Those leaving a sign won't be forgotten
Give, give our house to the flames
Leave a sign here
Those leaving a sign won't be forgotten

* this is a cradle song: "Uyusun da büyüsün" that is [the baby should] "sleep and grow [strong]"

Sakın Bana Söyleme

Kurtar, beni bu derin kör kuyudan
Tut elimi, çek beni, koyma beni bir başıma
Gitme geriye, dönme evine, geriye, etme eyleme
Bu bir ağıttır sen gidince söylenen
Lütfen, son kez olsun dinle beni
Unut artık olup biteni, yalvarırım lütfen
Bir şansım daha olmalı, senin içinde gizlenen
Bir şansım daha olmalı, bu sona boyun eğmeyen

Kurtar, ver elini uzat bana
Kırma benim kalbimi, yalvarırım lütfen
Bu bir ağıttır benim içimde gizlenen
Bu bir ağıttır sen gidince söylenen

Kurtar, beni bu gecenin karanlığından
Dibini bile göremediğim, kahrolası boşluktan
Gitme, verme başka birine, versen bile söyleme,
Sakın bana söyleme, yapsan bile söyleme

Ben miydim senin peşinden gelen ?
Sendin karşıma geçip diz çöken
Kadın mı sandın kendini birden ?
Kaçan sen oldun kovalayan ben

Daha ne kadar sana yalvaracağım be pislik ?!
Kadın mı sandın sen kendini bilmeden ?!

Never tell me

Save me from this abysmal blind pit
Take my hand, pull me out, don’t leave me, stay
Don’t go back, don’t go home, don’t do it
This is a mourning done when you’ve gone away
Listen to me just once, please
Forget it now, what’s done is done, I plead
I have to have another chance, hidden inside you
I have to have another chance, don’t accept this end

Save me, give me your hand, reach out to me
Don’t break my heart, to you I pray
This is a mourning, hidden inside me
This is a mourning done when you’ve gone away

Save me from the darkness of this night
I can’t see its end, save me from the emptiness in me
Don’t go, don’t give yourself to another, if you do, don’t tell me
Never tell me, even if you do don’t tell me

Was it me who followed you?
You were the one who came to me begging
Did you once think you were a woman
You were the one running away, I was the one following

How long shall I keep begging to you, damn it,
Did y’ think you were a woman not even knowing y’self?

Dursun Zaman

Her sabah doğan güneş
Bir sabah doğmaz oldu
Elleri ellerimden
Kayıp giden yıldız oldu
Gülünce ışık saçan
O gözler yaşla doldu
Ağlama duymaz artık
Bir varmış, bir yok oldu
Giderken bıraktığı
Bütün renkler siyah oldu
Üzülme anla artık
Belki de huzur buldu

Dursun zaman, dursun diyorsun da
Oyun değil ki yaşamak
Sen inanmasan da bir son var anla
Herkese inat

Duysun seni dönsün diyorsun da
Oyun değil ki yaşamak
Yok bir çaren anla,
Sakın uyanma yıllara inat

Time should stop

The sun that rises every morning
One day did not rise
Her hands slipped out of mine
And turned into a shining star
She smiled and while spreading her light
Those eyes were filled with tears
Don’t cry, she won’t hear anymore
Once upon a time she lived…
As she went away, all the colours
She left behind turned black
Don’t be sad, understand,
Maybe she found peace

Even if you say time should stop
Life is not a game
Even if you don’t believe
You must understand:
Everything has got an end
However you resist

Even if you wish she heard you
Even if you wish she returned
Life is not a game
You’ve got no remedy, understand,
Never wake up, however years go by

İtildik

Bir kez daha kazık yedik bekledik
Durduk mal gibi, gene güvendik,
Gene inandık, gene sevindik
Umutsuzluğa düşünce bile direndik
Engel tanımayıp yolumuza devam ettik derken,
Bir şeyi geç anladık;
Meğer asıl engel bunca zaman inandığımız insanlarmış...
Farkettik
Gene kazık yedik, gene güvendik,
Bütün düşler boşuna merdiveni olmayan bir kuyuya itildik, itildik, itildik, biz itildik!

Tam inandık, tam güvendik, tam sevindik
Derken vurdular bizi
Tam inandık, tam güvendik, tam sevindik
Derken kovdular bizi

Sonra bir kez daha kazık yedik bekledik
Beraber uçacağız dendi gene sevindik,
Gene inandık, gene güvendik
Artık umutsuzluğa düşer gibi değildik.
Engel tanımayıp, her şeyin üstünden uçacağız derken,
Bir şeyi geç anladık;
Meğer asıl engel, taktığımız sahte kanatlarmış...
Farkettik.
Gene kazık yedik, gene güvendik,
Bütün düşler boşuna merdiveni olmayan bir kuyuya itildik, itildik, itildik, biz itildik!

Thrown away

We were cheated again, we waited,
We waited so naively, honestly, we trusted
Again, we believed, again, we felt happy
Despite sinking into despair, we resisted.
Saying that we didn’t know any difficulties, we carried on,
We understood something late
But it seems so the real obstacle was the people we believed in…
We understood it
We were cheated again, we trusted again, all dreams are in vain,
We were thrown into a pit without stairs.
We were thrown away, thrown away, thrown away!

We believed, we trusted, we felt happy
and just as we said this they hit us
We believed, we trusted, we felt happy
and just as we said this they got rid of us

Then we were cheated once again, we waited,
We were told we’d fly together again, we felt happy again,
Again, we believed, again we trusted,
This time we weren’t about to fall into despair
Saying that despite any difficulties we’ll fly above everything,
We understood something late
It seems that the real obstacle was our fake wings
We understood.
We were cheated again, we trusted again,
All dreams are in vain, we were thrown into a pit without stairs.
Thrown, thrown, thrown away!

Kandırma Kendini

Yanlızlığın doldururken içimi
İzliyorum yavaşça gidişini
Görüyorum rüyanın bitişini
Karanlığın içine usulca sinişini
Belki de hislerim oldu bir saplantı
Yavaşça öldüren bir bulantı
Acılarla dolu pis bir kalıntı
Bitmez oldu lanet olası bu takıntı
Günler,haftalar,aylar geçiyor
Acı veren gerçek her gün sensiz doğuyor
Bir el var sanki , beni yavaşça boğuyor
Acı veren gerçek her gün sensiz doğuyor
Sen aslında sen sen değilsin ,
Sendeki ben de ben değilim .
Bir sen var bende senden farklı
Bir ben var sende benden ayrı
Kandırma kendini ,
Kabul et artık o da tıpkı senin gibi
Sürdürüyor insan denen neslini
Kırıyor,vuruyor,yıkıyor,döküyor,
söküyor,alıyor,kaç ıyor,gidiyor...
Arar , sorar belki bulursun
Bulunca elbet durulursun ..
En sonunda gururuna kapılıp gider
kaybolursun ...

Don't deceive yourself

Loneliness is filling me up inside
As I slowly watch you leave
And see the end of a dream
As darkness enters your heart
Maybe my emotions are just an obsession
Sickness that kills you slowly
Dirty remains full of pain
This damned obsession never ends
Days, weeks, months pass by
Every day there comes without you a painful reality
As if there were a hand, slowly choking me
Every day there comes without you a painful reality
In fact you are not yourself
And the one inside you is not me
You inside me’s different from you
Me inside you’s different from me
Do not deceive yourself
Accept it, it’s just like you
Mankind keeps on living,
Breaking, hitting, demolishing, pouring out,
pulling out, taking, fleeing, leaving…
You seek, you ask, maybe you’ll find it
Having found, you’ll definitely stop
In the end into your pride you’ll lock up
Leave and forever be gone
