You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
Kasvetli kisin seni bitirecegini sandin
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
Ama gunesin siddetine gemiyle girdin
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
Denizin renkleri gozlerini titreyen denizkizlariyla kor ediyor
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
Cesur Ulysses'in efsaneleriyle uzak sahillere dokunuyorsun
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
Tatlica soyleyen sirenlerle ciplak kulaklari nasil iskence gordu
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
Beyaz bagli dudaklarini opmek icin parlayan dalgalar seni cagiriyor
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
Turkuaz icinden kahverengi kizin dans etmesini goruyorsun
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
Ve ayak izleri gokyuzunun denizle bulustugu yere takip ettiriyor seni
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Ve parmaklarin onu buldugunda, seni vucuduna cekiyor
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
Aklinin uclarina derin mavi daireler kaziyor
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
Minik mor baliklar parmaklarinda gulerek kayiyor
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Onu seninle zorlu kis adasina goturmek istiyorsun
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
Onun adi ve Afrodit ve kadife kabuk suruyor
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched thedistant sands
Ve uzak kumlara dokundugun icin onu terk edemezsin
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
Cesur Ulysses'in efsaneleriyle uzak sahillere dokunuyorsun
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
Tatlica soyleyen sirenlerle ciplak kulaklari nasil iskence gordu
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
Minik mor baliklar parmaklarinda gulerek kayiyor
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Onu seninle zorlu kis adasina goturmek istiyorsun
