Recently a boy of 20, Emra Gezer, as he had just begun singing in Kurdish, was shot dead in a restaurant in Ankara by a former police officer. "A burning fire in my heart" was all he got to sing before murdered.


Fire


"A burning fire in my heart"

Now when you can not, I'll sing
I`ll continue your song

A burning fire in our hearts!

Our village, our forest, our home on fire
Bullets and bombs raining at our people
a fire that can't be put out:
in our hearts.

I promise:
I'll sing now when you can not

You sang half the song
now I'll sing the rest
