Ali Baba Karakaş – 03 Ocak 2026
Cranes circle the sky in a sacred dance
They dance with love, their voices full of longing
Oh cranes! If your path crosses Istanbul
Pause and carry my greetings to the one I love
Take my heart, and let it join your caravan
Carry it to my beloved—my only treasure
Say I loved her with a love that spanned a lifetime
My wings are broken, I can’t fly anymore
If I can't fly when that day comes
I wrote your name not on my lips, but in my heart
Your eyes became the light in my darkest days
I long for your radiant face, and turn to the sun
It is winter—has love touched your heart?
Your heart turns to autumn—warm and full of haze
Your joy is like a child reaching its mother
You flutter like a bird without wings, drawn to the warmest moment
If my beloved stays silent, winter settles in my soul
Snow falls gently, my heart shivers like a sparrow
At dawn, my memories were buried—I stood still and cold
My dreams turned brittle, breaking like glass—don’t keep me apart from you
