Is This What You Wanted
Bu Senin İstediğin midir?

You were the promise at dawn,
Sen şafak vaktinin vaadiydin
I was the morning after.
Ben sabahın sonrasıydım
You were Jesus Christ my Lord,
Sen İsa Mesih’tin, Tanrımdın
I was the money lender.
Ben tefeciydim
You were the sensitive woman,
Sen duyarlı bir kadındın
I was the very reverend Freud.
Ben çok muhterem Freud idim.
You were the manual orgasm,
Sen manuel orgazm idin
I was the dirty little boy.
Ben kirli bir çocuktum
And is this what you wanted
Ve bu senin istediğin midir?
to live in a house that is haunted
Perili bir evde yaşamak
by the ghost of you and me?
Senin ve benim hayaletimle birlikte
Is this what you wanted …
Bu Senin İstediğin midir?
You were Marlon Brando,

You where the whore and the beast of Babylon,

I was Rin Tin Tin.
Ben ise Rin Tin Tin.
And is this what you wanted …
Ve bu senin istediğin midir?
And is this what you wanted …
Ve bu senin istediğin midir?
You got old and wrinkled,
Sen eski ve buruşuk oldun
I stayed seventeen.
Ben onyedide kaldım
You lusted after so many,
Sen sonra çok defa arzuladın
I lay here with one.
Ben başka biriyle burada yatıyordum
You defied your solitude,
Sen kendi yalnızlığına meydan okudun
I came through alone.
Ben yalnız geldim
You said you could never love me,
Sen “hiçbirzaman beni sevemedin” dedin.
I undid your gown.
Ben senin gece elbisesini çözdüm
And is this what you wanted …
Ve bu senin istediğin midir?
And is this what you wanted …
Ve bu senin istediğin midir?
I mean is this what you wanted …
Demek istediğim, bu senin istediğin midir?
That’s right, is this what you wanted …
Evet doğru, bu senin istediğin midir?…
