Translation of the song lyrics Ben Ne İnsanlar Gördüm - İbrahim Tatlıses

Ben Ne İnsanlar Gördüm (original)

Ben hayat yumagini sustum sabirla ördüm;
Oysa kisa ömrümde ben ne insanlar gördüm
Gördüm ahlar cekeni gördüm boyun bükeni;
Bir yandanda heryeri cennet sayanlar gördüm
Gördüm ahlar cekeni gördüm boyun bükeni;
Bir yandanda heryeri cennet sayanlar gördüm
İsyanlarim sahipsiz acilarim tarifsiz;
Serefini serefsize ben ne satanlar gördüm
Gördüm sevgiye muhtac gördüm sefkate muhtac;
Gözü doymaz gönlü ac ben ne yamyamlar gördüm
Gördüm sevgiye muhtac gördüm sefkate muhtac;
Gözü doymaz gönlü ac ben ne yamyamlar gördüm
Hayat bir cark disinde herkes umut pesinde;
İhtiras atesinde ben ne yananlar gördüm
Oh cekilmez yaraya kursun düsmüs araya;
Tanri diye paraya ben ne tapanlar gördüm
Oh cekilmez yaraya kursun düsmüs araya;
Tanri diye paraya ben ne tapanlar gördüm
İsyanlarim sahipsiz acilarim tarifsiz;
Serefini serefsize ben ne satanlar gördüm
İsyanlarim sahipsiz acilarim tarifsiz;
Serefini serefsize ben ne satanlar gördüm
Gördüm sevgiye muhtac gördüm sefkate muhtac;
Gözü doymaz gönlü ac ben ne yamyamlar gördüm

Ben Ne İnsanlar Gördüm (translation)

I kept silent and knitted the ball of life with patience;
However, what kind of people have I seen in my short life?
I saw the one who sighed, I saw the one who bowed;
On the one hand, I saw those who consider every place as paradise.
I saw the one who sighed, I saw the one who bowed;
On the one hand, I saw those who consider every place as paradise.
My rebellions are unclaimed, my sorrows are indescribable;
I've seen those who sell their honor to you
I saw it, I saw it in need of love, I saw it in need of compassion;
Open heart, what cannibals have I seen
I saw it, I saw it in need of love, I saw it in need of compassion;
Open heart, what cannibals have I seen
Everyone is after hope, except life is a wheel;
What I saw in the fire of passion
Oh, it fell into an incurable wound;
What did I see those who worship money because of God?
Oh, it fell into an incurable wound;
What did I see those who worship money because of God?
My rebellions are unclaimed, my sorrows are indescribable;
I've seen those who sell their honor to you
My rebellions are unclaimed, my sorrows are indescribable;
I've seen those who sell their honor to you
I saw it, I saw it in need of love, I saw it in need of compassion;
Open heart, what cannibals have I seen
