Farak – Taare lyrics (English Translation)

[Intro]
Aa aa, de re na, aa aa —
We share an old, strange bond with stumbling blocks.
Whoever has seen only love is beloved to God.

[Verse 1]
We share an old, strange bond with stumbling blocks —
we share an old, strange bond with stumbling blocks.
The one who has known only love — look — he is God’s beloved.
The one who has known only love is God’s beloved.

Don’t ask about the state his heart is in now —
I feel afraid just speaking it aloud.
Don’t rob this empty house —
this coward beats his own head in despair.

He left that house a long time ago —
damn it, there is no support left.
This paper trembles whenever the heart’s wounds are fresh.
Ho ho, ho.

[Verse 2]
Her words are like this —
lost inside this size.
Pay attention —
lost inside this size.
Now there is nothing left to gain.

Wow, wow —
a bird imprisoned in a cage,
a bird imprisoned in a cage —
she is afraid of the sky.

Lost — there is nothing left to gain this much.
Lost — there is nothing left to gain this much.
The bird is trapped in the cage — she fears the open sky.
The bird is trapped in the cage — she fears the open sky.

Whatever gets scattered and broken cannot be gathered again.
There are so many layers on the heart —
it no longer shines.

When I take hatred from the circumstances, I lose every bet.
These shoulders are bowing — the weight of expectations is too much.

📖 Lyrics Meaning

This song is a melancholic reflection on struggle, loss, fear, and the weight of expectations — using the powerful metaphor of a caged bird afraid of the sky.

Key themes:

1. Stumbling blocks as old companions – The speaker describes a “special relation with stumbling blocks,” meaning hardship is not new — it’s a familiar presence. Struggle is woven into their life.

2. Love as divine blessing – The line “whoever has seen only love is God’s beloved” suggests that pure, unconditional love is rare and sacred. Those who love without reservation are blessed — but perhaps also vulnerable.

3. Fear and empty house – The speaker is afraid to speak about their heart. The “empty house” may represent the heart or home, robbed of warmth. The coward beats his own head — a gesture of self‑blame and frustration.

4. No support left – The speaker has been abandoned. The paper trembles when the wound is fresh, meaning even writing or expression becomes difficult when pain is raw.

5. The caged bird – The central metaphor: a bird imprisoned in a cage is afraid of the sky. This is a profound image of a soul that has been trapped so long that freedom itself has become terrifying. The sky represents possibility, but it’s now a source of fear.

6. Broken cannot be collected – Once something shatters, it cannot be put back together. The heart has layers upon layers, and it no longer shines — it’s dulled by repeated hurt.

7. Hatred from circumstances – The speaker tries to turn their pain into anger, but every time they do, they lose. Resentment doesn’t help — it only deepens the loss.

8. Weight of expectations – The final line reveals the physical and emotional burden: “These shoulders are bowing.” The speaker is crushed by what others expect of them, or what they expect of themselves.
