Şebnem Ferah -- Senin Adın Ne / What Is Your Name

If you come onto me one step closer,
All my good intentions will be rendered meaningless.
If you shoot me one last time,
With your poisoned arrows, they will come back to you.
My silence is because of my calmness,
Because I like to solve it humanely.
If what you want is really a battle,
Do you have the courage to be defeated?

If the only way you know is to battle,
If your mind and heart cannot concur...

What is your name?
Tell me your name.

What is your name?
First tell me your name.
Tell me why you're filled with such hatred...

What is your worry?
First tell me your problem.
Tell me why you're filled with such hatred...

Do you know why I asked your name first?
It would be better if you turn to yourself for a bit.
Before taking one step further,
You'd better check where your road is ending.
Did it seem too meaningless to ask your name?
It could be because you forget who you are...
See? I'm still trying hard to understand.
Your dried valley will soak from the waters of good intention.

Senin adın ne

Bir adim daha gelirsen ustume
Butun iyi niyetim anlamsiz kalacak
Son bir kez daha atarsan ustume
Zehirli oklarindan, sana donecek
Sus pus durmam sakinligimden
Insaniyetle cozmeyi sevdigimden
Ille de savasmaksa istedigin
Cesaretin var mi yenik dusecek

Bildigin tek yol savasmaksa
Aklinla kalbin bir turlu bulusmuyorsa

Senin adin ne ban ismini soyle
Senin adin ne bana ismini soyle

Senin adin ne once ismini soyle
Neden boyle nefret dolusun soyle
Senin derdin ne once derdini soyle
Neden boyle nefret dolusun soyle

Neden once adini sordum biliyor musun
Biraz kendine donsen daha iyi olacak
Bir adim daha atmadan once
Yolun nerde bitiyor baksan iyi olacak
Cok mu anlamsiz geldi adini sormam
Kim oldugunu unutmandan olacak
Gordun mu hala anlamaya cabaliyorum
Iyi niyet suyundan kurumus vadin islanacak
