May You End Up Just Like Me

by Karacaoğlan & Ersin Esen

Hey, you hazel-eyed... cruel beauty,
May you end up... just like me.
With your hair a mess... and your head bowed down,
May you end up... just like me.

In your garden... let no roses bloom,
In your garden... let no roses bloom,
On your branch... let no nightingale sing.
On your branch... let no nightingale sing.
Let the surgeon... never leave your door,
Let the surgeon... never leave your door,
May you end up... just like me.

Instead of roses... let the thorns grow,
Instead of songbirds... let the owls howl.
Let your tears... turn into a flood,
May you end up... just like me.

Instead of roses... let the thorns grow,
Instead of songbirds... let the owls howl.
Let your tears... turn into a flood,
May you end up... just like me.

I say: As a man of truth!
My heart is burnin'... like a charcoal fire.
Just like a grey wolf... hit by a silver arrow...
May you end up... just like me.

May you end up...
Just like me...
May you end up...
Just like me...
