Translation of the song lyrics Bir Ben Bir İstanbul - Bahadır Tatlıöz, Haktan

Bir Ben Bir İstanbul (original)

Sonbaharda yaprak dökümü gibi
Başlar ayrılığın tüm halleri
Biraz senden gider, biraz ondan gider
O kadar büyük emek uçar gider
Her sahnesi bir ayrılık filmi
Çoktandır bu aşkın tüm halleri
Ben hep bir köşeden sessizce izleyen
Sen ise bir kalemde silip giden
Kabullenmek çok zor olsa da
Bu kez gerçek şu ki
Bir ben bir İstanbul kaldık
Bu gece öksüz kaldık
Acıdan geçen hikayemde
Beraberce yandık
Sen yoktun İstanbul vardı
Derdime hep ortaktı
Bu gece bir kadeh bana
Bir kadeh de İstanbul’a
Hüznün dibine vura vura
Seni unutacağım
Yine ben ve İstanbul kaldık
Bu gece öksüz kaldık
Zamansız biten hikayemde
Buruk kahramandık
Sen yoktun İstanbul vardı
Bana hep o yoldaştı
Bu gece bir kadeh bana
Bir kadeh de İstanbul’a
Hüznün dibine vura vura
Seni unutacağım
Her sahnesi bir ayrılık filmi
Çoktandır bu aşkın tüm halleri
Ben hep bir köşeden sessizce izleyen
Sen ise bir kalemde silip giden
Kabullenmek çok zor olsa da
Bu kez gerçek şu ki
Bir ben bir İstanbul kaldık
Bu gece öksüz kaldık
Acıdan geçen hikayemde
Beraberce yandık
Sen yoktun İstanbul vardı
Derdime hep ortaktı
Bu gece bir kadeh bana
Bir kadeh de İstanbul’a
Hüznün dibine vura vura
Seni unutacağım
Yine ben ve İstanbul kaldık
Bu gece öksüz kaldık
Zamansız biten hikayemde
Buruk kahramandık
Sen yoktun İstanbul vardı
Bana hep o yoldaştı
Bu gece bir kadeh bana
Bir kadeh de İstanbul’a
Hüznün dibine vura vura
Seni unutacağım

Bir Ben Bir İstanbul (translation)

Like leaf fall in autumn
All the states of separation
A little goes from you, a little goes from him
So much effort flies away
Every scene is a breakup movie
It's long since all the forms of this love
I always watch silently from a corner
You are the one who erases in a pen
Even though it's so hard to accept
This time the truth is
Only I stayed in Istanbul
We became orphans tonight
In my story of pain
We burned together
You weren't there, there was Istanbul
It was always common to my troubles
A glass to me tonight
And a glass of Istanbul
hit the bottom of the sadness
I will forget you
Again, me and Istanbul remained
We became orphans tonight
In my timeless story
We were bitter heroes
You weren't there, there was Istanbul
He was always that comrade to me
A glass to me tonight
And a glass of Istanbul
hit the bottom of the sadness
I will forget you
Every scene is a breakup movie
It's long since all the forms of this love
I always watch silently from a corner
You are the one who erases in a pen
Even though it's so hard to accept
This time the truth is
Only I stayed in Istanbul
We became orphans tonight
In my story of pain
We burned together
You weren't there, there was Istanbul
It was always common to my troubles
A glass to me tonight
And a glass of Istanbul
hit the bottom of the sadness
I will forget you
Again, me and Istanbul remained
We became orphans tonight
In my timeless story
We were bitter heroes
You weren't there, there was Istanbul
He was always that comrade to me
A glass to me tonight
And a glass of Istanbul
hit the bottom of the sadness
I will forget you
