If I Were a Bird

Can a human being live without dreaming? Amid the roar of crowded cities, as we carry on rushing to get somewhere without ever knowing our true destination, what would we do without songs? This is how I poured out my soul; I wrote, I created music. Otherwise, I couldn't have survived.

If I were a bird, for instance / Taking wing toward the clouds / Wandering through the heavens / To meet with the crane / Flying from branch to branch / To meet with the crane

Then settling upon a tree / Let it be a century old / Let me call it a plane tree / Existing for a hundred years / Only by its side

Far away from humankind / Filling myself with green / Flying with the spirit of rakı / Filling myself with green
