Tracy Chapman - Our Bright Future

To my father what of your sons?
Babama ogullarin ne?
All of your children
Butun cocuklarin
Even the ones
Sent out to martyr
Sehit olanlar bile
To face the gun
Silahla yuzlesmek icin
Precious bodies opposed to bombs
Degerli bedenler bombalara maruz
Led on led on
Yonlendirilen
To take the path
Patikaya gitmek icin
Where our bright future
Parlak gelecegimiz
Is in our past
Gecmisimizdeyken
To our father what of reason?
Babamiza nedeni ne?
Say what you will
Believe what you want
Istedigine inanacagini soyle
The record shows what we are not
Kayit olmadigimizi gosteriyor
Our true desires
Gercek arzularimiz
Not our good thoughts
Iyi dusuncelerimiz degil
Led on led on
Yonlendirilen
To take the path
Patikaya gitmek icin
Where our bright future
Parlak gelecegimiz
Is in our past
Gecmisimizdeyken
To my father what have you done? Babama ne yaptiniz?
To the children
Cocuklara
Born innocent
Masum dogan
But come to harm
Ama zarara gelen
For dreams of glory
Gorkem hayalleri icin
And just a line in history
Ve tarihte bir cizgi
Led on led on
Yonlendirilen
To take the path
Patikaya gitmek icin
Where our bright future
Parlak gelecegimiz
Is in our past
Gecmisimizdeyken
To our father what good may come?
Babamiza ne iyilik gelebilir?
To let the children
Walk alone
Cocuklarin yalniz yurumesine izin vermesi icin
To fear to fail
Basarisizlik korkusu
And need no savior
Ve kurtariciya ihtiyacim yok
To be at peace in our true nature
Gercek dogamizda baris icinde olmak icin
Lead on lead on
Yonlendir
Clear the path
Patikayi temizle
So our bright future
Parlak gelecegimiz
May come to pass
Gecmeye gelebilir
