| Her akşam aynı hüzün | Each evening folds me in the same blue sorrow, |
| Yol gözler iki gözüm | My eyes are twin sentinels, sweeping the road’s expanse, |
| Dış kapıda beklerim | I linger, a shadow, by the threshold’s worn threshold, |
| Avucum içinde yüzüm oy x2 | My face, hollowed in the cup of my hand—oy x2 |
| Sen gelmezsin bir türlü dertlerim türlü türlü | You, unmoved, never cross the distance—my troubles multiply like wild brambles, |
| Nice dertleri çektim bu başka türlü x2 | Through tempests of anguish I have wandered, but none like this, none such as this—x2 |
| Yar sevmedim üstüne bilmem bana kastın ne | Beloved, none have I loved above you; I am blind to the grudge you cradle, |
| Bu hayat senin diye beni üzdüğün niye oy x2 | Tell me, why do you wound me—calling this life your own, so you might bruise me—oy x2 |
| Unutamam seni yar bu günün yarını var | I cannot loose you from memory, beloved; even today leans toward a tomorrow, |
| Beraber mutlu geçen günlerimiz var x2 | Once, we gathered joy together, our hours bright as a festive table—x2 |
| Sen gelmezsin bir türlü dertlerim türlü türlü | You, unmoved, never cross the distance—my troubles multiply like wild brambles, |
| Nice dertleri çektim bu başka türlü x2 | Through tempests of anguish I have wandered, but none like this, none such as this—x2 |
