Emir - Ben Sen Olamam lyrics

Here is a translation of the Emir lyrics from another site. I am having a hard time doing my own....poetry and songs are hard since they do not always follow normal rules. Some of this is kind of rough, I think that the person translating is not a native English speaker, but it does get the meaning across better than my attempts.

Ben Sen Olamam-I Can't Be Who You Are


Öyle diyorlar böyle diyorlar
They say like this, they say like that
Şekile mekile takılıp üzüyorlar
They make sad by caring shape(outside beauty)
İnsana dünyayı dar ediyorlar
They make the life complicated for people

Yaftayı takıp sınıflandırıyorlar
They classify by attaching a label(distinction between rich and poor people)
Eğriyi doğruyu bilen ya onlar
They(class and rich people) know what's right or wrong
İnsanı kaderine küstürüyorlar
They offend people to their destiny

Kaçtım kaçtım durdum
I kept getting away, getting away
Kendime değil hep kendimden
Always from myself
Ne zaman ki bana geri döndüm
When I came back to myself
Ümitle donandım yeniden
I became hopeful again
Ben benden oldum yaşayınca
I lost myself
Onun bunun kitabına göre
When I lived according to people's rule
Ben yine beni bende buldum
I found myself in me again
Sığınınca kalbime yeniden
When I took shelter in my heart again

Ben bundan böyle
After this

Ne yasak tanırım ne kural tanırım
Neither I know sin nor rule
Ruhum bedenime dar bunalırım
My soul is narrow for my body, I get bored
Üstüme gelme bak kafa tutarım
Don't push me anymore, I will defy
Acımam tozu dumana katarım
I don't have mercy, I crush everything
Ben sen olamam olursam eğer
I can't be who you are, if I am
Kendimi kızgın ateşlere atarım
I will throw myself in red-hot fires
Uymam sürüye uymaktansa
I don't follow the herd,
Kendimi kurda yem yaparım
I make myself food for wolf

Ya sev seveceksen olduğum gibi
Love me if you will like the way I am
Ya da çıkar at kalbinden beni
Or get me out of your heart
Ne değiştirmeye çalış ne yargıla
Neither try to change me nor judge me

Hangimiz kusursuz mükemmeliz ki
Which one of us is perfect, excellent?
Bana tepeden bakıp da kendini
When you look down upon me
Daha özel ayrıcalıklı sanma
Don't consider yourself as special, superior

Cok tesekkurler!!!

ok, i like him.. he kinda looks and moves like tarık..

I have to admit, knowing what the lyrics mean makes the video make more sense. I like the song and the video. I think that Emir has a good voice. I look forward to seeing what he does in the future.
