Gülşen – Hayat Bir Su [2010]

Could someone translate Gülşen's new song, another collaboration with Ozan Çolakoğlu?

HAYAT BİR SU

Parlaktı güneşten gençlik masum ve narin
Yazlar gibi şen hürdük kuşlar gibi

Bilmezdik korku telaş körpeydi aşklar
İncinsekte olmazdık kışlar gibi

Hayat bir suymuş bizde içmişiz kana kana
En uzak yarınlar dün olur
En hazin keşkeler söz olur

Derya gibi hatıralar
Varsın herkes beni tenha bilsin
Kar saydığım koca bir hayat var
Ama hala küçüğüm annem gelsin
Beni yeniden büyütsün

Hayat bir suymuş bizde içmişiz kana kana
En uzak yarınlar dün olur
En hazin keşkeler söz olur

Derya gibi hatıralar

Anyone?

LIFE IS LIKE WATER

Youth was brighter than the sun, innocent and delicate
Merry like summers, we were free like birds

We wouldn’t know what fear and agitation are, loves were young and fresh
We wouldn’t be (harsh) like winters even if we were hurt

Life was like water and we drank it thirstily
The furthest tomorrows become yesterday
(And) The most touching “if onlies” become words

Memories are superabundant
Everyone may think that I’m lonely, no matter
There is a huge life that I count as (my) profit
But I’m still small, my mother should come
She should bring me up again

Life was like water and we drank it thirstily
The furthest tomorrows become yesterday
(And) The most touching “if onlies” become words

Memories are superabundant
Everyone may think that I’m lonely, no matter
There is a huge life that I count as (my) profit
But I’m still small, my mother should come
She should bring me up again

Memories are superabundant
Everyone may think that I’m lonely, no matter
There is a huge life that I count as (my) profit
But I’m still small, my mother should come
She should bring me up again


The song was composed for a concert (of Gülşen’s), the profit of which was donated to Darülaceze, a kind of home for homeless people. The lyrics belong to Gülşen and the music was composed by Gülşen and Ozan Çolakoğlu together.

Thaaaaaaaank you so much!

You are so welcome. Thank Gülşen for this great song, not me

Yes, the song is wonderful.
