Yangin Yeri
Zülfü Livaneli
Fireplace
Living in this burning place
Dying again every day
Captured in the hands of the tyrant
As a sacrifice to the ignorant
Breathing with difficulty in the air tainted with lies
Defending the truth many times
Knowing your loneliness
The coward, the silent one
Seeing and filling with anger
Gathering dead friends
Each coming from a different place
Some with a dagger around their neck
Some wiping their blood
Metin Altiok embraces me
Saying 'Don't mind' with a smile
Living is a duty in the fireplace
Living by staying human
Metin Altiok embraces me
Saying 'Don't mind' with a smile
Living is a duty in the fireplace
Living by staying human
Living in this burning place
Dying again every day
