Çilekeş - Siyah
I introduced Çilekeş in past. Now I want to share my favorte song, Siyah.
Siyah means black. The song is about struggling against to the bad things, dark side of the life. Here is the song and Turkish lyrics and English translation:
Yorgunsun, hep hastasın
Vaziyetin farkındasın
Yalnızsın hep, mutlusun
Belki de umarsız, duyarsızsın
Böyle geçmez anla, ömrüne yazık etme
Kaybetme kendini, kendi rengini
Bari sen solma, her yer siyah...
Simsiyah yine her taraf
Yanlış düzen, yanlış zaman
Yitip giden bu umutlara bir ben miyim hep kan ağlayan?
Bazı şeyler var, kayıtsız kalmaya gelmez, affetmez.
Kaçtığın yerde hiç olmaz belki derdine yanan...
Farkında olmak, üzülmek çözmeye yetmez herşeyi
İtiraz etmek, hesap sormak gerek bazen karanlığa...
Hiç sabrın kalmasa bile (vazgeçersen,kaybedersin)
Her şey değişir birdenbire!
Simsiyah yine her taraf
Yanlış düzen, yanlış zaman
Sönüp giden bu ışıklara tek ben miyim hep kan ağlayan?
Ahlaksız, sahtekar, ziyankar onlar hep, düzenbazlar
İnanma, söylenenler hep yalan
Kaybetme kendini, kendi rengini
Bari sen solma, yok olma!
Şansın varken anla
Bari sen anla!
Simsiyah, her yer siyah...
Vazgeçersen kaybedersin, vazgeçersen yitip gidersin
Vazgeçersen kaybedersin, vazgeçersen solup gidersin...
English translation:
You seem tired, always sick
You are aware of this
Always alone, yet happy
Maybe careless or carefree
Time won't pass like this, don't waste your life
Don't lose yourself, your color
Don't ask me, everything is black
Completely black, everywhere
Wrong settings and the wrong time
Am I the only one who cries after wasted hopes?
There are some things, impossible not to care for
Wherever you run to, maybe there won't be anyone hurting
To be aware, to be upset unfortunately does not solve everything
Sometimes one needs to object, to question the dark...
Even if you are left with no patience (if you give up, you lose)
Everything changes overnight!
Everything is all black again
Wrong settings and the wrong time
Am I the only one who cries after darkening light?
Immoral, dishonest, damaging, they're all fake
Don't believe it, they're lies
Don't lose yourself, your color
Don't fade or disappear
Understand while you still have a chance
At least understand
Black, it's all black
If you give up, you lose, if you give up, you wither
If you give up, you lose, if you give up, you fade
