Sana ne transtan
Sana ne kuirden
Sana ne ibneden
Lezbiyenlerden
Benden
Kestin, biçtin, tükürdün
Yalayacaksın
Kovdun, ezdin, süpürdün
Toplayacaksın
Bu dünyada yek şey var
Aşk ile sevgi
Beni sev be kardeşim
Benle uğraşma
Sütçünüm, hemşirenim
Abin, ablan, hemşerin
İşte, evde, mektepte
Seninleyim, seninle
Aynaya bak gör beni
Korkma, tükürmem
Neredesin desen sen
Burdayım aşkım
Of of, ofki anam of
Seni de ezmişler anam
Gel beni üzme
Başını dimdik tut anam
Boynunu eğme
Birlikte mücadele
Daha bir hoştur
Kalbine bas yavrunu
Korkma, pes etme

You are also the other,
and the other is also you.
What business of yours are trans*?
What business of yours are queers?
Or gay men?
Or lesbians?
Or me?
You’ve hacked at us, ripped us apart, and gobbed at us too
— You will lick that up
You’ve hounded and oppressed us, and swept us aside
— You will pick up the pieces
The only thing that counts in this world
Is love and love alone
Love me, o brother
Don’t fight with me
I am your milkman and your nurse
Your brother, your sister, your fellow human being
At work, at home or in school.
With you, I am. I am with you.
Look in the mirror. Who you see is me.
Don’t worry. I won’t spit at you.
Whenever you wonder where I am
I am here, my dear. Here I am.
O woe, mother, O pain and drear,
You too have been downtrodden
Please don’t grieve me; not you too
Keep your head up high, don’t bow down
Struggles shared are easier to shoulder
Hold me close to your heart
Don’t be afraid. – Never give up.

You are also the other,
and the other is also you.
Was gehen dich Transen an
Was gehen dich queere Menschen an
Was Schwuchteln
Was Lesben
Was ich
Zerhackt haste, zerfetzt und bespuckt
Wieder auflecken wirst du’s
Verjagt, zerdrückt und weggefegt
Wieder auflesen wirst du’s
Was einzig allein zählt auf der Welt
Ist einzig allein die Liebe
Liebe mich, o Bruder
Kämpfe nicht mit mir
Bin dein Milchmann und deine
Krankenschwester
Dein Bruder, deine Schwester,
dein Mitmensch
Auf Arbeit, zu Hause, in der Schule
Hier bin ich, mein Schatz, ich bin hier
Schaue in den Spiegel und erkenne
mich
Keine Angst, ich bespuck’ dich nicht
Wenn du dich fragst, wo ich denn sei
Hier bin ich, mein Schatz, hier bin ich
O weh, Mutter, o Kummer
Auch dich hat man[n] unterdrückt
Kränke mich doch nicht auch noch du,
o Mutter
Walte erhobenen Hauptes
und senke es nur nie
Die gemeinsame Aktion
Ist noch viel schöner
Drücke mich an dein Herz
Habe keine Angst – gib nicht auf
