Hello. When friends from other countries told me that they knew Şebnem Ferah, I saw she is becoming famous in some other countries, too. One of them wanted me to translate “Perdeler”. Then another of them (Jagilya) wanted me to give a link which gives English translation of Şebnem Ferah’s lyrics, especially her first album. But there was no a link like that. So I decided to translate her lyrics for my web site’s Şebnem Ferah Part. I hope I could do it. All of the lyrics (except Today which was sent by Jagilya) are translated by me (Turgay Suat Tarcan). If you want to copy one of them into your web site, please tell that it was copied from www.tst.gen.tr
VAZGEÇTİM DÜNYADAN – I GAVE UP THE WORLD
Where are the words? Ugh!
Where is my heart?
I loved, too! Ugh!
He didn’t love me even he knew it
Give your hand to endless
Take me from the world. Ugh!
Nobody loves me anymore
BRIDGE:
Hearts aren’t bought with
Spangle and money
Who defeated the destiny with prayers
CHORUS:
With no wearing wedding dress
With no seeing the light
Before my baby
I gave up the world
With no defeating the destiny
I am ashamed to myself
Before anybody’s love
I gave up the world
Where did I come from? Ugh!
Where does the journey make me go to?
Maybe the destiny can answer. Ugh!
If I ask it to the destiny
There aren’t any lovers with desire of mine!
Graves are offended, too. Ugh!
To the womanly death
BRIDGE AND CHORUS AGAIN
İYİ GÜN DOSTLARIM – JUST MY GOOD DAYS’ FRIENDS
When a day, when a time
If I sadden, if I cry
You laught to my situation
When I make anything
Nobody understood me
You thought that
The love was hyperbolical for me
CHORUS:
Withdraw from my side
Don’t come upon me
Just my good days’ friends
Don’t hold my hand
Don’t hold my hand! Ow! Whooo…
Wou wo wo wou na na na na na na
Wou wo wo wou Wou wo wo wou
Na na na na na na Wou wo wo wou
Don’t hold my hand
When a day, when a time
If I look for a shoulder
You went away from me
When I make anything
Nobody understood me
You thought that
Friendship was hyperbolical for me
CHORUS AGAIN
PERDELER – CURTAINS
There are full papers of experience of life next to me
There are many books which I haven’t read next to me
My whole life; my yesterday, my tomorrow is always here
In my small island
I’m waterless, tired
But I think about life
There are tired and old people next to me
There are new lovers with expectations next to me
All versions of the world are here
Im my untidy room
I’ve fallen many times
I was hurt but I hug the life
There are big, big, huge burdens back of me
They pulled my whole body
They made me wait
I took a rest, drank water
Water dripped from my lips
Everyday the sun rises up
The curtains should be open, that’s enough
Whooooo, waaaaooow, wooooo…..
There are ticking clocks without stopping next to me
There are slow and underground sounds
I thought I found century actuals
I wore all of them
But they are big on me
There are talking lips without silence next to me
There are silent senses which offended next to me
If we are underground, there’s no problem
We will go up certainly
One day we are alive, one day not
Lips are for hire
BUGÜN – TODAY
I touched your picture today, and kissed it again & again & again
Time, be slow, it’s still to early to say “bye bye”
I missed your voice, I missed you so much,
I don’t know but the world’s stopped, why ?
I am searching for “the lost with you”
It’s not the love song I inspired.
Just smile once for me, If you hear me
Be my river & flow again, Be my butterfly & and fly to me again
Be my flower & appear again
Be a wind ….
DURMA – DON’T STOP
We became alone on roads
Love can’t be given with stories
We have been afraid for many years
We asked direction to the wind, unknown
Which hand is stronger than this hands
Let’s start from brave hearts
Again, again, again
NO! Don’t afraid
Tomorrow is near you
Run again on roads, don’t stop, don’t stop
YAGMURLAR – RAINS
The roads are quiet, nights are nightmare
My hands shiver who is me, who is this quiet body
There isn’t asker or knower, I have no reason
The man who hurt me; smile, I gave up dreams
If you don’t love me, love the rains
Clouds will cry, when you smile the sun will rise again
I’m going with my tears
Your memory is digged to my heart
Love the rains
So I want it to rain to my body
I’m going with my tears
Oh, roads are again and again
Love the rains
So I want it to rain to my body
