Translation of the song lyrics Göklerde Kartal Gibiydim - Edip Akbayram

Göklerde Kartal Gibiydim (original)

Göklerde kartal gibiydim
Kanadımdan vuruldum
Mor çiçekli dal gibiydim
Bahar vaktinde kırıldım
Coşkundum pınarlar gibi
Sarhoştum rüzgarlar gibi
İhtiyar çınarlar gibi
Bir güneşinde devrildim
Kimseye soramadığım
Doyunca saramadığım
Görmesem duramadağım
Nazlı yarimden ayrıldım

(translation)

I was like an eagle in the sky
I got shot in my wing
I was like a branch with purple flowers
I was broken in the spring time
I was enthusiastic like springs
I was drunk like the winds
like old sycamores
I fell in a sun
I can't ask anyone
I can't wrap my fill
I can't stop if I don't see
I left my Nazli half
