make the globe a better place
encourage love peace joy hope

Kutsamalarla dolu benzersiz ruhlar
Birbirini korusun
Dünyayi daha iyi bir yer haline getirin
Sevgi baris sevinç umut tesvik

Beyond the grave of Beni Blue
was an aging twisting branching Yew
Young Beni liked to play and hide
as he did the day he died

In a forgotten graveyard corner it grew
hiding a doorway known by few
The thick...

**Original in Turkish**

Mucizem 

Levent, bir rüzgâr gibi esti dünyama,
Esintisiyle savurdu karanliklari.
Bir adadaki isik gibi, yolumu aydinlatti,
Oksijenim, havam—nefesim oldu varligi.

Gelecegimi çoktan bilen büyüleyici bir ruh,
Ovis’te oturmus, beni bekleyen bir kalp.
Evren sesimi duymus,
Ve mucizem, atesin isiginda dogmustu.

Mwen ka renmen ou an retou
Renmenm kounye a kant, a volonte
Mwen ka limen epi etenn dife an

Enjoying myself, in a deserted world
Strolling down, unchaperoned.

Ran into someone, 
Who knew he would be my heaven.
Eyes locked, piercing eachother's soul.
When realization hitted, sorrys are traded
Amplifying the beat, we left hoping to meet.

Days went, new...

TARKAN -Beni Anlama

 Beni sev, sev de anlama...
 Dokun, hisset, ne olur sorgulama...
 Sakin beni yargilama...
 Yapma, degistirmeye çalisma...
 Ah vazgeçme...
 Arzula, sev, oksa beni, üzme, ne olur üzme

 Ele geçirmeye çalisma hiç böyle beni

Umidin topragi  sevgi
Ofkem olsa  gozyasi
Tufan  olsa sondurse
Bitmeyen yanginini anilarin

Umidim sevginin atesi
Hikayesi anlatmakla  bitmez
Uyanirim kaygilanirima
Duslerim seni her gece 

Korkmadan yilmadan
Dusunurum yolunu
Duydukca adini uzaktan
Aglar yanarim her gece

Dalgalar ve ruzgarlar 
Ve bitmeyen yagmurlar
Yine kosarim...
