Translation of the song lyrics Ah Le Yar - Alişan

Ah Le Yar (original)

Sana olan duygulari bir bilebilsen, anlayabilsen, belki severdin
İçimdeki hasretini bir duyabilsen, anlatabilsem, belki benimdin
Sana sevdiğim diyemem yalan yalan yalan vallahi yalan, inan ki yalan
Sen kara sevdamsın benim duman duman duman duman hasretin
Tüter içimde yanan
Ah le yar yar, yine başımda sevdana le yar yar
Geceler kara zindan ah le yar yar
Bir parçacık canım kaldı onu da sen al
(Ah le yar yar)
Yine başımda sevdan
(Ah le yar yar)
Geceler kara zindan
(Ah le yar yar)
Bir parçacık canım kaldı onu da sen al
(Ooof ooof ooof be kara gözlüm, off off)
Aklıma düştü gözlerin bir bıçak gibi
Bir silah gibi, cehnnem gibi
Söylenmemiş türkümdün sn unutmam seni
Unutmam seni, unutamam ki
Sana sevdiğim diyemem yalan yalan yalan yalan vallahi yalan, inan ki yalan
Sen kara sevdamsın benim duman duman duman duman hasretin tüter içimde yanan
Ah le yar yar, yine başımda sevdana le yar yar
Geceler kara zindan ah le yar yar
Bir parçacık canım kaldı onu da sen al
(Ah le yar yar)
Yine başımda sevdan
(Ah le yar yar)
Geceler kara zindan
(Ah le yar yar)
Bir parçacık canım kaldı onu da sen al

Ah Le Yar (translation)

If you could fathom these feelings I cradle for you, discern their depth—perhaps your heart would kindle
If only you might taste the thirst that gnaws within me, if I could give it utterance—perhaps you would be mine
I cannot name you beloved—lie upon lie, a lattice of denials, by all that’s sacred, falsehood, believe it, deception
You are my nightbound passion—a black flame, your longing coiling about me as incense, as vapor, as blue smoke upon blue smoke
Its embers spiral in my chest, unquenched, a secret pyre
Ah, le yar yar, once more your love hovers, a crown of thorns above me, ah, le yar yar
The nights are iron cages, ah, le yar yar, their bars run deep as sorrow
A remnant spark of life remains—take it, too, as you have claimed the rest
(Ah, le yar yar)
Again, the fever of your love presses on my brow
(Ah, le yar yar)
Nights descend like bricked-up wells
(Ah, le yar yar)
All that endures—a last breath—take that, too, for it is yours
(Ooof ooof ooof, O black-eyed star of my midnight, off off)
Your gaze fell upon my mind—sharp as a blade, slicing through memory
Like a pistol, like the furnace of damnation itself
You were the song trapped in my throat, never sung—forget you? Never, not even in silence
Never will I forget, nor is forgetting possible
I cannot call you beloved—falsehood thrice-fold, fourfold, by all that binds us, believe me, it is only a veiled lie
You are my nightbound passion—a black flame, your longing, spectral as smoke, winds on within, a slow-burning ache
Ah, le yar yar, once more your love hovers, a crown of thorns above me, ah, le yar yar
The nights are iron cages, ah, le yar yar, their bars run deep as sorrow
A remnant spark of life remains—take it, too, as you have claimed the rest
(Ah, le yar yar)
Again, the fever of your love presses on my brow
(Ah, le yar yar)
Nights descend like bricked-up wells
(Ah, le yar yar)
All that endures—a last breath—take that, too, for it is yours
