The night of the Middle Moon
| What a terrible metaphor is the Turkish flag! It is red from top to bottom, which spreads into the air as a threat in the city of Amed. It has a half-moon in addition to the little star, but is it heaven? We got out of the plane and into it, we took it as a sky that had been soaked in blood. |
II The beggars mingle with the police in the streets. These are the streets: the children, the eyes, the uniforms and the hairs on the top. Silenced words and smoke snatchers; victors, losers; shoe cleaners sitting on sidewalks... It’s been a long time since the people’s oppressors have passed through! |
III because in North Kurdistan it was long ago emptied of peace: filled with sorrow and sorrow; nothing has been right in art since this country. Recently, three children were shot dead with fire and smoke; the small corpses that lay on the ground fell face down at one last glance... and since then the Tigris and Euphrates have been salty. |
| IV We shouted with applause the old Mesopotamia for drowning in tears, because the wood has the need for the sounds of wood; we put the guitar in the rope that has been tied to their necks... Although the claw of the military lifts, the strength of the ears is greater and freedom has been the only chord we have heard! |
V Kalashnikova in the hand as the mountain pours fire, tied two hands... We have received love and wrath on the left and on the right. Lift up your two fingers as an image of victory! Take your fists to us! Although the chain is the bridge between the towns, the river seems to break the border. |
VI You have 11,000 prisoners, 200,000 spies, the earth drenched in blood... Freedom has always been so expensive! They took away the people, they took away your eyes, they took away everything! But the beast will die! The night is coming to an end and his time is over: The sun will rise when the half-moon disappears! |
The melody is:“One horrible, two horrible how many are horrible.”
