İyi Köpek Lyrics English Translation by Murat Ceylan Wish
You threw me a bone,
I wasn’t hungry, I looked anyway.Not for the bite, really,
But ’cause I got used to waiting.
You never said my name,
A whistle was enough for me again.
Every trail I thought was a road,
Circled back to you.
A “good job”… I shut up.
A “good job”… I froze.
A “good job”… while saying it,
I kept myself away from me.
Who threw it? Who threw it?
Who threw the bone?
Who laughed? Who laughed?
Who made me believe?
Good dog!
Good dog!
Good job, good job!
Good dog!
Good dog!
Bow your head… good job!
You left the door open,
I couldn’t tell myself to leave.
‘Cause sometimes the tightest leash,
Doesn’t even touch your neck.
The hand you held out like love,
Landed on my skin like a command.
I wasn’t waiting for you;
I was waiting for you to take me from me.
The heaviest weight…
Isn’t on your neck.
It’s inside you.
The longest road…
Isn’t outside.
It’s to yourself.
Whistle.
One more time.
One more time…
I can’t hear it!
Who threw it? Who threw it?
Who threw the bone?
Who laughed? Who laughed?
Who made me believe?
Who’s the dog?
Who’s the dog?
Tell me so I can learn!
Who’s the dog?
Who’s the dog?
Look in the mirror, I’ll tell you
Good dog!
Good dog!
Good job, good job!
Good dog!
Good dog!
Good job, good job!
