İSTANBUL’A
Nereye gidersem gideyim sonunda döndüğüm
Her köşesi ayak izlerimle dolu labirent
Sende gizli durgunluğum
Her şeyi başlatan ezgisi cocukluğumun

Belki bir gün yeniden karşılaşırsak senle ben
Hic bir seyin aynı olamayacağını bilen
Ve yine de hayal eden iki eski dost gibi
Sarılacağız ve susacağız 

---

TO ISTANBUL
Wherever I go, the one I always return to
The labyrinth whose every corner is filled with my footsteps
In you hides my stillness, 
The tune of my childhood that started all

If one day, we meet again
Like two old friends who know that nothing will be the same again 
And yet, who still imagine,
We will embrace and keep quiet
