FRIEND DEATH IN PRISON

Buddy who died in jail

If I might be the balm to your wound

Silently, softly fading buddy

If I may discover a answer to your drawback

That is the time when the scoundrels are mad

That is what the depraved and the traitor are raging

That is the gem that was shot within the mouth of the individuals

If I can break it, if I can break it

Take the bitch dangerous too, bitch

You place the torture on the espresso desk

Brother is lifeless, our share of ah

What if I may die as an alternative

Ataol Behramoglu
