Göre

     Bana göre dag
     Yalnizdir
     Uykusuzumdur
     Daga göre ben

     Ben
     Daga
     Göre
     Deliyim

     Dag
     Bana
     Göre
     Aç

     Daga göre ben
     Uzanamam
     Ulasamaz
     Dag bana göre



Relatively

     To me the mountain
     Is lonesome.
     I am sleepless
     According to the mountain.

     To
     The mountain
     I am
     Insane.

     To
     Me
     The mountain
     Is hungry.

     According to the mountain
     I cannot reach out.
     The mountain cannot arrive
     According to me.
