Translation of the song O Vahşi At artist Ahmet Kaya
O Vahşi At
The wild horse
Bizi güllerin iklimi tüketti
the climate of roses consumed us
toprağı yaran filize vurulduk
we fell in love with the seedling that breaks the soil
o vahşi beyaz at alıp başını gitti
that wild white horse went away
bir yaz yağmuru gibi unutulduk
we were forgotten like a summer rain
Sığ yanlarımız oldu arasıra
at times we had shallow manners
el yordamıyla dalarken hayata
when we were diving into life gropingly
bir parça telaş bir parça ümittik
a bit of haste, a bit of hope we were
hiç yetişemedik o vahşi ata
we never caught up to that wild horse
O vahşi atla beraber
along with that wild horse
ah şu içimizdekiler
oh, those who were in us
sanki sökülürcesine
as if they were uprooted
gitti gider, gitti gider
they're gone forever, they're gone forever
Bize bir günün çelişkisi yetti
a contradiction of one day was enough for us
dudağı yoran bir söze kırıldık
we were offended by a word that tired the lip
o vahşi beyaz at tutuştu yelesinden
that wild white horse caught fire at its mane
kaldığı yerden başlanır mi artık
could it be started once more where it left off
Hiç ayrılmayız derken bir ucundan
while we were saying we'll never give up holding its end
aşktı o yitirdiğimiz inan aşktı
it was love that we lost, believe, it was love
ben sana kıydım sen bana gücendin
i forfeited you, you were hurt by me
ve durduramadık o vahşi atı
and we couldn't stop that wild horse
O vahşi atın ardından
after that wild horse
ah şu aramızdakiler
oh, those who were among us
hiç yaşanmamışçasına
as if it was never lived
uçtu gider, uçtu gider
they flew away forever, they flew away forever
