Translation of the song lyrics Yola Çevirdiler - Arif Sağ

Yola Çevirdiler (original)

Sevenlere gönül verdim
Yola çevirdiler beni
Damla bile değil idim
Göle çevirdiler beni leyli leyli
Tohumu döl eylediler
Dikeni gül eylediler
Yari bülbül eylediler
Güle çevirdiler beni leyli leyli
Miskiniyi eğittiler
Dane dane öğüttüler
Dil bilmezdim öğrettiler
Dile çevirdiler beni leyli leyli

Yola Çevirdiler (translation)

I gave my heart to the lovers
They turned me on the road
I wasn't even a drop
They turned me into a lake leyli leyli
They fertilized the seed
They made the thorn rose
They made a half nightingale
They turned me into a rose leyli leyli
They trained the poor
They grinded the grain
I didn't know the language, they taught me
They turned me into language leyli leyli
