For Pride now holds your mercy by a chain.

I'm guiltless, yet my sentence has...

my heart's wound will remain...

Mucizem 

Levent, bir rüzgâr gibi esti dünyama,
Esintisiyle savurdu karanliklari.

Ve mucizem, atesin isiginda dogmustu.

Ince...

Dashing home so nobody sees

I pause to think about
What people will say.

I am a Jew
In love with...
