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 sonbahar yeter
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 autumn is enough
