I live in Ankara, my brother elsewhere. #ilhansesen

My brother has come from Ankara
There’s a festive atmosphere at home
My parents used to love me very much
My parents used to love me very much
My parents used to love me very much
Oh, mother, mother…

I’m standing in front of a cinema
Apparently, there was a black-and-white film
My parents used to love me very much

From Kadıköy to Istanbul
The first aimless evenings
On my forehead, signs of adolescence
They heralded the first love
My parents used to love me very much

My brother has come from Ankara
There’s a festive atmosphere at home
My parents used to love me very much

A lifetime disperses like smoke
Suddenly before me
Unexpected nights
Distances blur at that moment
Unexpected faraways
Unexpectedly shorten
