| Bir gelsen diyorum | If only you would come—a wish I cast into the dusk, |
| Beni çıkıp alsan çıkmazlardan | And draw me gently from these tangled catacombs, |
| Hiç bir şartım yok | I ask for nothing—no edict, no command— |
| Sadece tutsan kollarımdan | Only that your hands might moor me, bracing my arms. |
| Yar, yine çık yoluma | Beloved, step forth once more upon my path, |
| Aldın aklınla | You ensnared my reason as a hawk claims its prey, |
| Dile benden sen ne istersen | Name your desire—speak, and it shall be yours, |
| Bir ömür varım ben | I stand, a lifetime’s lantern, burning for you alone. |
| Yaşıyorum sensizliğin zorluğunu | I stagger through the labyrinth your absence makes, |
| Bir şey duydunmu | Have you heard a whisper—a tremor in the night? |
| Fark ettin mi yokluğumu yar | Did you sense, beloved, the vacancy I have become? |
| Yar, yine çık yoluma | Beloved, step forth once more upon my path, |
| Aldın aklınla | You ensnared my reason as a hawk claims its prey, |
| Dile benden sen ne istersen | Name your desire—speak, and it shall be yours, |
| Bir ömür hazırım | I stand, a lifetime’s vow on the cusp of your word. |
| Aşk mı lazım | Is it love you seek—a wellspring unspent? |
| Dert mi lazım | Or sorrow—a bramble crowned in midnight dew? |
| Söyle sevdiğim bize ne lazım | Tell me, my cherished one, what is it we require? |
| Ayran içtik, ayrı düştük | We drank ayran—shared the cool, then drifted apart, |
| Gülmek istedi, | Laughter beckoned— |
| Şu kara bahtım | But fate, a coal-skinned vagrant, smothered the flame. |
| Yar, beni özletme | Beloved, do not let longing sharpen its knives on me, |
| Hadi artık aşk yolun küçüçük | Come—a lane of love lies before us, narrow as a child’s hand, |
| Sevda meleğim | My angel of longing, my seraph of devotion |
