Translation of the song lyrics Neyleyim - Emre Altuğ

Neyleyim (original)

Neyleyim üc günlük ömrümü
Bu gönül sensiz hic güldümü
Sevgilim önüme ölümü
Sunsan ben icerim kendimden gecerim
Senin icin senden vazgecerim
Sunsan ben icerim kendimden gecerim
Senin icin benden vaz gecerim
Ben yagmuru gözlerinde
Bülbülü dillerinde
Günahi bedeninde
Taniyipta sevmisim
Dönmüyor yedi cihan
Esirin olmus zaman
Sarabi dudagindan
Icip öyle sevmisim…
Seni öyle sevmisim

Neyleyim (translation)

What use, my love, these brief three days allotted—
Has this heart, bereft of you, ever tasted laughter’s bloom?
Beloved, before me stands the shroud of death, unfolded—
Should you offer its chalice, I would drink, abandon flesh and room.
For your sake, even you I would cast aside—a voluntary doom.
Should you offer its chalice, I would drink, abandon flesh and room.
For you, I would relinquish all that is mine, my soul’s perfume.
I find the rain’s hush gathering in your gaze,
The songbird’s longing weaves its syllables upon your tongue,
The forbidden’s fire kindles along the architecture of your frame—
So knowing you, I tumbled, helplessly, into love’s maze.
The seven realms do not consent to turning back their run,
Even time itself is shackled, now your willing slave.
Wine, drawn from the vineyard of your lips, I crave,
I drank, and so I learned the manner in which I love...
Such is the manner, such is the vastness with which I love you.
