Traces — Sakareller

I found something in silence
It has no name, it is not called
It wanders every nook and canny
Seeming unaware of its existence

Traces are there, traces everywhere
I don’t know it itself is where
It stays, it’s tracing there

Don’t try, it won’t understand you
Say whatever comes to your mind

Traces are there, traces everywhere
I don’t know it itself is where
It stays, it’s tracing there

Traces are there, traces everywhere
I don’t know it itself is where
It stays, it’s tracing there

It stays, it’s waiting there

(Turkish)

English: Işık Barış Fidaner

Note: The English translation of the lyrics of a 2009 song that we had rehearsed with Sakareller but never performed for an audience. It was a bit too folksy. Uğur had been threading it with human noise but then he left.
