Eurovision 1996 Turkey:
Şebnem Paker - "Beşinci mevsim"
Beşinci mevsim
Kapandı son kapım, vuruldum bilmeden
Sakın o sen misin giden
Soyundu dallarım, delindi gökyüzü
Kaçıncı sonbahar bugün
Hep sondu, hep zordu, çok yordu yollar
Sen orada, ben burada bak yasta yıllar
Beşinci mevsime uyansa düşlerim
Hayaller ölmeden gel
Beşinci mevsime açılsa güllerim
Yeter bu sonbahar yeter
Kapandı son kapım, vuruldum bilmeden
Sakın o senmisin giden
Soyundu dallarım, delindi gökyüzü
Kaçıncı sonbahar bugün
Hep sondu, hep zordu, çok yordu yollar
Sen orada, ben burada bak yasta yıllar
Beşinci mevsime uyansa günlerim
Hayaller ölmeden gel
Beşinci mevsime açılsa yelkenim
Yeter bu ѕonbahаr yeter
The fifth season
My last door has closed, I have been hit without knowing
Are you leaving me
My branches are naked, my sky is darker
Which autumn is today
Always the end, always hard, I got tired on the road
You are there, I am here, look the years are in sorrow
I wish my days would wake up in the fifth season
Come before the dream is over
I wish my roses would open in the fifth season
This much autumn is enough
My last door has closed, I have been hit without knowing
Are you leaving me
My branches are naked, my sky is darker
Which autumn is today
Always the end, always hard, I got tired on the road
You are there, I am here, look the years are in sorrow
I wish my dreams would wake up in the fifth season
Come before the dream is over
I wish I could hoist sails to the fifth season
This much аutumn iѕ enough
Hand in hand
Whatever song you sing, whatever words you write
The dawn will break, the light will fade
When all the notes agree, we'll call the violin
To love and weep, to dance and dream
Don't let me wake up to cold talk and dark thoughts
Your love can show me the way forward, now dance with me
I will still fight with you because you will still fight with me
This world will not hold its breath
Love is the best defense against the words we never meant
We'll walk away hand in hand
However hard we try, however long we love
We never learn, we never shall
Now all the notes agree, let's call the violin
We'll love and weep, we'll dance and dream
Let there be an end to all cold talk and dark thoughts
Your love can show me the way forward, now dance with me
I will still fight with you because you will still fight with me
This world will not hold its breath
Love is the best defense against the wordѕ we never meant
We'll walk away hand in hаnd
