Beton ıslak gözlerim kısık bakıyor
Concrete wet, my eyes look narrowly
Masada duman var hesaplar kapalı duruyor
There's smoke on the table, accounts remain closed
Dost dediklerim pusuda sessizce bekliyor
Those I called friends wait silently in ambush
Ben sustukça arkamdan hikaye yazıyorlar
The more I stay silent, the more they write stories behind my back
Gece uzun sabah uzak uykular haram oldu
The night is long, morning far, sleep has become forbidden
Sokak lambası titrer gölgem bile yabancı durur
The street lamp flickers, even my shadow feels alien
Kalemim tetik gibi her hecem mermi gibi
My pen is like a trigger, every syllable like a bullet
Bir çizikte defter kapatırım iz bırakmadan
With one scratch, I close the notebook, leaving no trace
Gölgeden geldim sokağa adımı kazıdım
I came from the shadow, carved my name onto the street
İpek gömlek içinde çelik gibi yürek taşırım
Inside a silk shirt, I carry a heart of steel
Sırtımda yılların yükü gözümde tek hedef var
The burden of years on my back, a single goal in my eyes
Saat dörtte şehir susar ben konuşurum içimden
At four o'clock, the city falls silent, I speak from within
Vicdanı geride bıraktım yola devam ederim
I left my conscience behind, I continue on my way
Kağıt temiz durur altı kirli ve karanlık
The paper stays clean, its underside dirty and dark
Konuşursan batarsın susarsan kaybolursun burada
If you speak, you sink; if you stay silent, you get lost here
Ortası yok bu şehrin ya yanarsın ya donarsın
There's no middle ground in this city, you either burn or freeze
Ben ikisini de gördüm ayakta kalmayı öğrendim
I've seen both, I've learned to stay on my feet
Ah aga vah aga bu yolun dönüşü yokmuş meğer
Oh brother, alas brother, it turns out there's no turning back from this path
Bir rüzgar değdi içime tek bir zefir gibi soğuk
A wind touched me, cold like a single zephyr
O günden sonra kalbim buz tuttu sustum derinden
Since that day, my heart froze, I fell silent deeply
Bu hayat satranç ben piyon değilim vezirim
This life is chess, I'm not a pawn, I'm the queen
Hamlem keskin sözüm ağır gözlerim kara
My move is sharp, my word heavy, my eyes dark
Karanlıkta parlayan tek şey vicdan değil
The only thing that shines in the dark is not conscience
Ben parayı değil iz bırakan sözü seçtim
I chose the word that leaves a mark, not money
Dün gülen yüzler bugün camdan bile bakmıyor
Faces that smiled yesterday don't even look through the window today
Defterde isimler silindi tek tek çizildi hepsi
Names in the notebook were erased, all crossed out one by one
Kalanlar yanımda değil gölgede sıralı duruyor
Those who remain are not by my side, they stand in line in the shadow
Ben yolumdan dönmedim çizgimden şaşmadım asla
I never turned from my path, never deviated from my line
Son perde kapandı defter dürüldü bitti artık
The final curtain fell, the notebook was rolled up, it's over now
Ben bildiğim yoldan yürürüm geri adım atmam
I walk the path I know, I don't take a step back
Yazdıklarım kefenim oldu çıkarıp atmadım hiç
What I wrote became my shroud, I never took it off
Lines explained
“Konuşursan batarsın susarsan kaybolursun burada”
If you speak, you sink; if you stay silent, you get lost here
This line captures the dilemma of survival in a harsh environment, where both speaking out and remaining silent carry significant risks.
“Bu hayat satranç ben piyon değilim vezirim”
This life is chess, I'm not a pawn, I'm the queen
This is a powerful metaphor, comparing life to a game of chess and asserting the speaker's agency and importance, not as a mere pawn but as the most powerful piece, the queen.
“Yazdıklarım kefenim oldu çıkarıp atmadım hiç”
What I wrote became my shroud, I never took it off
This line suggests that the speaker's words and experiences are so integral to their identity that they are like a shroud, something inseparable and defining, even in death.
