Translation of the song lyrics Bitmeyen Sevda - Imera

Bitmeyen Sevda (original)

Akıl durur dil durur
Boğazım düğüm olur
Yar yanımda yok ise
Her günüm zulüm olur
Gelmez dediğim dertler
Hep geldi başımıza
Oturup ağlayalım
Bitmeyen sevdamıza
Kulak duymaz göz görmez
Dünya dururda dönmez
Sevdamı kaybetmişim
Yürek yangınım dinmez
Gelmez dediğim dertler
Hep geldi başımıza
Oturup ağlayalım
Bitmeyen sevdamıza
Gece uzun dert uzun
Gönlümü sardı hüzün
Yalvarırım mevlama
Aklımdan çıksın yüzün
Gelmez dediğim dertler
Hep geldi başımıza
Oturup ağlayalım
Bitmeyen sevdamıza

Bitmeyen Sevda (translation)

My reason falters, speech freezes mid-air,
A knot of longing tightens in my throat,
If you, beloved, stand not by my side,
Each day is torture, time a fettered moat.
Sorrows I swore would never haunt my door,
Come trailing after, shadowing my tread,
Let us sit down—our silence brims with tears,
For love that will not die, though hope has fled.
The ear is deaf, the eye shrouded in mist,
The world stands still, its axis lost to night,
I wander barren fields, my love mislaid,
The cinders of my heart refuse respite.
Sorrows I swore would never haunt my door,
Come trailing after, shadowing my tread,
Let us sit down—our silence brims with tears,
For love that will not die, though hope has fled.
The night is stretched—its sorrows endless, vast,
A shroud of sadness wraps about my soul,
I beg the heavens, kneeling in the dark,
Release your face—let memory lose control.
Sorrows I swore would never haunt my door,
Come trailing after, shadowing my tread,
Let us sit down—our silence brims with tears,
For love that will not die, though hope has fled.
