Translation of the song lyrics Hay Yam Yam - Erkin Koray

Hay Yam Yam (original)

Gün doğarken
Sabah horozlar niçin acı acı bağrışırlar bilir misin?
Tan yerini gösteripte onlar derler ki sana
Geçen geçti gidiyor da ya sen nerelerdesin
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
Hay yam yam yam yam yam yam yam hay yam yam
Bu gecenin son gecen olmasıda var
Emrette gül rengi şarabı getirsinler
Gafil bir gittin mi daha gelmek yok
Altın değilsin ki seni gömüp çıkarsınlar
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
Hay yam yam yam yam yam yam yam hay yam yam
Eğer sevgi ile dolmamışsa yüreğin
Tekkelerde manastırda hiç bir yere eremezsin
Gönül verip içtenlikle sevdin mi şu dünyada
Tüm cennetin cehennemin çok çok üzerindesin
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
Hay yam yam yam yam yam yam yam hay yam yam
Varlık yokluk derdini şu kafandan sil
Bırak densiz işleride kendini bil
Gerin şöyle bir güzel ohh derin bir nefes al
Kaç nefes alacağın var ya hiç belli değil
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
Hay yam yam yam yam yam yam yam hay yam yam

Hay Yam Yam (translation)

at sunrise
Do you know why roosters screech in the morning?
They show you the place of dawn and they say to you
The past is passing, but where are you?
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam
There's also the fact that tonight is your last night
Let them bring rose-colored wine on order.
Did you go negligently, there is no more coming
You are not gold so they can bury you
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam
If your heart is not filled with love
You won't get anywhere in the monastery in the lodges.
Did you give your heart and love sincerely in this world?
You're so far above all your heaven and hell
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam
Erase the trouble of existence and non-existence from your head.
Let yourself know yourself in your idle work
Take it easy ohh take a deep breath
It is not clear how many breaths you will take
Hay yam yam, hay yam yam
yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam yam
