Like Sand - Ahmet Kaya

In the garbage dumps seagulls used to cry
While we laughed along with you
Bombs used to rain down on the city every night
While we made love without stopping

Don't be so merciless now
Like yesterday, like yesterday don't up and leave
Stop and let me hold your legs as you go
Like sand, like sand don't walk over me

Spring was dripping down onto our roofs
As we turned pale with you
In order to clear up these dirty faces
We fought side by side without stopping

Don't be so merciless now
Like yesterday, like yesterday don't up and leave
Stop and let me hold your legs as you go
Like sand, like sand don't walk over me

Ahmet Kaya (1957 - 2000) Turkey (died in France)
Translated by lyric Arab Music Translation
