Translation of the song lyrics Yorgun - İbrahim Tatlıses

Yorgun (original)

Düse Kalka Ciktim Ben Bu Yokusu,
Yalvardim Benimle Gelen Olmadi,
Kac Kere Yikilip Düstüm Yerlere,
Yalvardim Elimden Tutan Olmadi,
Söylenecek Gibi Degil Dostlarim,
Bu Yüzden Suskunum Bu Yüzden Durgun,
Neler Cektim Neler Neler Dostlarim,
Bu Yüzden Suskunum Bu Yüzden Yorgun,
Yorgun Yorgunum Yorgun Yorgun,
Yeter Artik Diye Diye Inledim
Haykirdim Sesimi Duyan Olmadi
Yillarca Aciyla Dertle Savastim
Halim Nedir Diye Soran Olmadi
Söylenecek Gibi Degil Dostlarim
Bu Yüzden Suskunum Bu Yüzden Durgun
Neler Cekti Neler Neler Dostlarim
Bu Yüzden Suskunum Bu Yüzden Yorgun
Yorgun Yogunum Yorgun Yorgun

Yorgun (translation)

By tooth and nail I scaled this barren rise,
I pleaded, but the path remained forlorn.
How many times did hope collapse, despised,
I begged for hands, but every hand was gone.
Words cannot compass this, my secret trial,
So silence shrouds me, sluggish as a stream.
What labyrinth of torment, mile on mile—
So silence binds me, worn beyond a dream.
Weariness coils—my marrow weighed with lead,
I groaned Enough, the cry a knell of stone,
I shouted—yet my voice was left for dead,
For years I grappled pain, a wolf alone,
No soul inquired what shadows stalked my face.
Words cannot compass this, my silent woe,
So silence shrouds me, sluggish as a dream.
What others bore—unfathomed, endless throes—
So silence binds me, worn beneath the flow.
Weariness coils—my soul grown cold and slow.
