I dedicated this album to my niece Melis, my
Sister Zeynep, her husband Alaattin
who we lost at an early age in Gölcük
earthquake on the
17th August 1999.
HAPPY TODAY
(Music by Christian Abdullah, Lyrics by B.McDermott)
I’m happy today, yes so happy
I’m happy today, yes I’m happy
Can’t promise for tomorrow
Can’t be bothered about money and wealth
All I care about is love
Just love, just love, endless love
They think I am irresponsible
They believe I am over the edge
What do they know?
Who cares about what they think
I’m happy today, yes so happy
I’m happy today, yes I’m happy
I love you yesterday, today, tomorrow
Love you more, more now
You are with me and will be forever
You are my dream, my dream love
They think I am irresponsible
They believe I am over the edge
What do they know?
Who cares about what they think
I’m happy today, yes so happy
I’m happy today, yes I’m happy

WIPE AWAY
(Music and Lyrics by Christian Abdullah)
I miss so much the holy freedom
It’s no more the really wholesome
The leadership is out of respect
Their behavior is fully wrecked
The time has come
To wipe away
The time has come
To wipe all away
The hate rise against all others
Although we were all brothers
The leadership is out of respect
Their behavior is fully wrecked
The time has come
To wipe away
The time has come
To wipe all away
Decisions are taken one sided
All others are surely misguided
The leadership is out of respect
Their behavior is fully wrecked
The time has come
To wipe away
The time has come
To wipe all away

JUST 40 UP
(Music by Christian Abdullah, Lyrics by B.McDermott)
This is the difficult time of my life
I reached the age no longer young
Not so handsome, no longer fresh
But may be older, may be wiser
But may be older, may be wiser
— just 40 up
Have a kid and even a wife
Own a recycle bin and a mountain bike
Still listening to rock while reading Guardian
But may be older, may be wiser
But may be older, may be wiser
— just 40 up
I’m afraid to break the chains,
Can’t have affairs, fear of aids
Nothing really make sense never really did
But may be older, may be wiser
But may be older, may be wiser
— just 40 up
GOOD-BYE
JUST LOVE
This is not the first time that
You said good-bye.
I am at the door
Can no longer cry.
So unhappy, alone, tired
Repetition endless repetition
Lost in dreams nothing concrete
All I want to to do is to love
You took your books
Including some of mine
Can’t fight anymore
I say good-bye.
Love these is only a love
Nothing more but love
I crave, I dream, I sleep
But wake up with endless love
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Can’t tolerate misery
Can’t settle with anxiety
Wherever I go, I search for Love
Love, easy, joyful, love
(Music by Christian Abdullah,
Lyrics by B.McDermott)
love, good-bye hate
passion, goodbye
love, good-bye hate
darling, good-bye
(Music by Christian Abdullah,
Lyrics by B.McDermott)
I miss you already
You left so much behind
This is your grand gesture
It is part of your game.
Love these is only a love
Nothing more but love
I crave, I dream, I sleep
But wake up with endless love
This is for real,
I have no energy
I shake with anger
I accept your good-bye.
So unhappy, alone, tired
Repetition endless repetition
Lost in dreams nothing concrete
All I want to to do is to love
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Love these is only a love
Nothing more but love
I crave, I dream, I sleep
But wake up with endless love
love, good-bye hate
passion, goodbye
love, good-bye hate
darling, good-bye

IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE
(Music and Lyrics by Christian Abdullah)
GENUG
(Music and Lyrics by Christian Abdullah)
For what is the fight?
Who believes its right?
To kill and destroy the light.
It doesn’t make sense!
Why you got to fight?
For what argue your right?
To kill and destroy the light.
It doesn’t make sense!
Ich bin hier seit geraumer Zeit
Und habe viel mit allem geteilt
Gründete eine ganz tolle Familie
Leider wenig, wenig richtige Freunde
For whom is the fight?Which
believe has the right?To kill
and destroy the light. It
doesn’t make sense!
Godless it’s Reckless,
Foolish and Devilish
It’s Godless it’s Reckless,
Foolish and Devilish
Die letzte Zeit sie war richtig heiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Die letzte Zeit sie war richtig heiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Godless it’s Reckless, Foolish
and Devilish
It’s Godless it’s Reckless,
Foolish and Devilish
So stop just stop the fight
(stop the fight)
To protect basic human rights
(stop the fight)
Which to be granted to all
without regard to race!
(stop the fight)
(stop the fight)
Habe aber auch sehr viel Leid
Denn alles ist nicht mehr so rein
Ich komme bald wieder nach Hause
Habe die Schnauze voll von diesem reiz
It doesn’t make sense!
It doesn’t make sense!
For what is the fight?
Who believes its right?
To kill and destroy the light.
It doesn’t make sense!
For whom is the fight?Which
believe has the right?To kill
and destroy the light. It
doesn’t make sense!
Godless it’s Reckless, Foolish
and Devilish
It’s Godless it’s Reckless,
Foolish and Devilish
This will make sense!
Die letzte Zeit sie war richtig heiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Die letzte Zeit sie war richtig heiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Ich bin hier seit geraumer Zeit
Und habe viel mit allem geteilt
Gründete eine ganz tolle Familie
Leider wenig, wenig richtige Freunde
Die letzte Zeit sie war richtig heiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Die letzte Zeit sie war richtig heiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß
Ja! Der Diktator ist wirklich Scheiß

KADIRGA
(Music by Christian Abdullah,
Lyrics by EgemanK)
Ağır ağır yükleniyor
Tek tek, tane tane
Hiç şikayet etmemecesine
Yıllarca çalışacaksa bile
Hafif hafif esiyor rüzgar
Şişiyor yelkenleri
Hafif hafif esiyor rüzgar
Şişiyor yelkenleri
Sabaha karşı yola çıkıyor
Dalga sesleri kulaklarda
Kaybetme korkusu Anılarda
Zafer sarhoşluğu umularda
Hafif hafif esiyor rüzgar
Şişiyor yelkenleri
Hafif hafif esiyor rüzgar
Şişiyor yelkenleri
Korkusuzca ilerliyor
Rotası belli olmasa da
Dibe vurup batmacasına
Ve boğulmacasına
Hafif hafif esiyor rüzgar
Şişiyor yelkenleri
Hafif hafif esiyor rüzgar
Şişiyor yelkenleri
