I move in a memory zone By way of a riverbed The tumbling rocks Have changed its course Some spots turned into sand I came upon a wise crone Deep her roots and high her head Her lonely voice Fighting the noise Ears cupped over with their hands Orire orire oriraa Orire orire oriraa Hay ride ride horiraa I cut myself on a sliver of hope Just one drop more of our blood shed Our people displaced Our places erased Noone to hear our demand Iэзэхэм сарипхъу Iэзэхэмрэ сипхъоу (I am the daughter of the healers) си тхыдэр сэ сытхэнущ си тхыдэр сотхэноу (I will write my own story) си лъапэ куууэ си лъапсэр кууоу (My roots are deep) си пхъэщъхьак1э бгъуэ си чъыгщхьапэ быхъоу (The crown of my tree is wide) си къэлэм хьэзыр (My pen is ready!) апхуэдэ, псалъэрэ псалъэрэ хэкум сыкъэгъэзэжын фэдэу, гущыI гущыIэу си хэкум сыгъэзэжьы (Let it be so, that I return to my homeland, word by word, the vessels of my soul) апхуэдэ, си тыркъэ мэкIыж фэдэу, си уIагъэ кIыжьы (Let it be so, that my wound shall heal) Orire orire oriraa Orire orire oriraa Hay ride ride horiraa

نَمْشِي فِي اَلدُّنْيَا تَارِكَاتٌ وَرَاءَنَا شَتَّى اَلْأَحْزَانِ تَدُقُّ خُطُوَاتُنَا شَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا حُسْنَ اَلْأَوْزَانِ اِشْتَعَلَتْ فِي أَفْكَارِنَا نَارٌ وَبَرِيقُ اَلْعَيْنَيْنِ أَرْسَلَ لَهَبًا حَارِقًا يَلْتَهِمُ اَلنِّسْيَانُ مَنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّنَا سَنَتْرُكُ اَلدُّنْيَا صَامِتَاتٌ نَصْرُخُ بِوَجْهها وَنُغْنِي نُغَنِّي ضَاحِكَاتٌ جَلْسَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ بِقُرْبِكُمْ تَرْوِينِي تُنْهِي اَلْجَفَافَ وَتَرْوِي اَلْبُسْتَانَ بِسِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ صَدِيقة رَفِيقة تَأَوينِي تَرِدُ اَلرُّوحَ اَلتَّائِهَةَ إِلَى اَلْأَمَانِ أَهُزُّ رَأْسِي بِخِفَّةٍ عَلَى يَقِينِ بِأَنَّنَا سَنَلْتَقِي بِالْوِجْدَانِ مَنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّنَا سَنَتْرُكُ اَلدُّنْيَا خَائِفَاتٌ نَصْرُخُ بِوَجْهها وَنُغْنِي نُغَنِّي رَاقَصَاتٌ We walk this earth, leaving behind us all sadnesses Our steps ring out to the East, to the West and set the good groove In our minds, a flame has alit and burns in our eyes It send a burning wick to obliterate forgetfulness Who thinks we’re leaving this world silently? Our mouths wide open with laughter, we’ll shout in its face and sing One visit with all of you quenches my thirst Ends the drought, waters the garden One smile from a good friend is enough To guide my wandering soul back to safety I nod my head knowingly, Believing we will meet again in spirit Whoever thinks we’re going out scared Our mouths wide open with laughter, we’ll shout in his face and dance Whoever thinks we’re leaving this world silently? Our mouths wide open with laughter, we’ll shout in its face and sing

digital debris don’t drunkenly delete let’s mix up the old and new glam digital debris don’t drunkenly delete you’re a bit of you and who I am a pixel from you a pixel from me a pixel from you a pixel from me new sparkles made of old shards of light captured on memory cards new language made of old words where all the meanings are twisted and blurred digital debris just flow and let it be more detail than any mosaic digital debris just flow and let it be bittersweeter than any heartache a message from you a message from me a message from you a message from me new sparkles made of old shards of light captured on memory cards new language made of old words where all the meanings are twisted and blurred

Gerçek olmak çok zor bu dünyada Sen dürüstsün canım, alın terin kalbinde Yol ver ey bulut Yol ver Sevgilim gelsin bana Akıntıya karşı yüzmekten çok yoruldun Uzuvların bunun için yaratılmış olsa da Yol ver ey deniz Yol ver Sevgilimle karşıya geçeceğiz Gözlerin boncuk boncuk İçinde küçük tomurcuk Bu güzelliğe karşı Masumiyete karşı Gözlerin boncuk boncuk İçinde küçük tomurcuk Bu güzelliğe karşı Masumiyete karşı Nasıl haksızlık yapılır? Akıntıya karşı yüzmekten çok yoruldun Uzuvların bunun için yaratılmış olsa da Yol ver ey deniz Yol ver Sevgilimle karşıya geçeceğiz Gülüşün pırıl pırıl İçinde gonca kızıl Bu güzelliğe karşı Masumiyete karşı Gülüşün pırıl pırıl İçinde gonca kızıl Bu güzelliğe karşı Masumiyete karşı Nasıl haksızlık yapılır? Yol ver ey deniz Yol ver Sevgilim karşıya geçmek istiyor Yol ver ey bulut Yol ver (English) To be real in this world, it’s so hard You’re pristine, my love, in the sweat of your brow Give way, O, Cloud, Give way That my love shall come to me Swimming against the current, you’re worn out Even though your limbs were made for this Give way, O, Sea, Give way My love and I want to cross to the other side Your eyes shining In them a small flower bud Against this beauty… Against this innocence… How can anyone be? Your smile scintillating Inside it a red rose Against this beauty… Against this innocence… How can anyone be? Give way, O, Cloud, Give way
