17 Lyrics English Translation by Dolu Kadehi Ters Tut
Forget about me
I’m not important
This is her story
She was so white
She’d attract dirt
Her life was as long as a butterfly’s
While her letters were in a bottle
She looked and saw
There was no sea
While dancing alone
She was drunk on unhappiness
She was only 17, 17, 17, 17
She was only 17, 17, 17, 17
She was only 17, 17, 17, 17
While she wanted to leave the game
The cards had been dealt
In this airless void
Everything was for sale now
In traffic, the lane that never moved
Was always hers
The last song she sang
Was “Goodbye cruel world”
She was only 17, 17, 17, 17
She was only 17, 17, 17, 17
She was only 17, 17, 17, 17
