Description
Song based on a poem by a Kurdish prisoner of conscience who goes under the pseudonym İskan Açıkça
There is a rose in my garden
A crimson rose opening in my heart
Rosy cheeks blossoming like a young pomegranate plant
which loves the earth like spring
like a rising sun in the sky
both weep both love from within
like a rising a rising moon in the night
like summer rain watering my rose garden
as if it were a life.
It is you in my dreams at night
every moment I see you in my mind..
You are running through my soul
like blood runs through my veins with joy!
Original version in Turkish
Gül by “İskan Açıkça”
Bir gülüm var bahçemde
Açıldı yüreğim deki kızıl gül
Al al yanakları
Nar fidan gibi çiçek açmış
Topraǧı sevdigi kadar
İlkbahar mevsimi gibi
Gök-yüzüne doǧan güneş gibi
Hem aǧlar
Hem sever içten içe
Geceleri doǧar ay gibi
Yaz yaǧmuru akar gibi
Suluyor gülbahçemi
Bir hayat gibi
Geceler rüyamda sensin
Her an kardeşim hayalsin
Ruhuma akıp gidiyorsun
Damarımdakı kan gibi
Coşup gidiyorsun.
