Translation of the song lyrics Gülümse Kaderine - Kibariye

Gülümse Kaderine (original)

Değer mi hiç?
Boş yere küsme düşlerine
İnan Onun da yanına kalmaz
Bırak gitsin üzülme
Hayat sevenlerin yanındadır
Unutma
Gülümse kaderine
Yak bütün fotoğrafları
Ona ait bütün eşyaları
Bu gece ümitlerini al koynuna
Gün doğmadan unut insafsızı
Kader buluşturdu
Kader ayırdı
O aşka inanmadı
Sil gözyaşlarını
Sakın ağlama
O kalbinle oynadı
Hayat sevenleri korur
Ateşe atmaz
Gülüm Sana kıyamadı
Yak bütün fotoğrafları
Ona ait bütün eşyaları
Bu gece ümitlerini al koynuna
Gün doğamdan unut insafsızı

Gülümse Kaderine (translation)

Is all this sorrow worth a single tear?
Never shun your dreams in a fit of vain disdain,
Believe—retribution circles, silent as a hawk; he too must answer.
Let it drift away—do not mourn the ebbing shadow,
Life, like a vigilant guardian, inclines to those whose hearts have loved.
Remember—
Smile into the loom of your fate,
Consume every photograph in a blue flame’s hunger,
And all his relics—let their meaning vanish in smoke,
Tonight, cradle your hopes softly against your breast,
Before dawn unclasps the world, cast the merciless from memory,
Fate—subtle as dusk—has led your hands to meet,
And just as softly, fate has parted yours and his,
He spurned the holy fire of love,
Dry the dew from your lashes,
Let not a single tear betray you,
He played a cruel game with the strings of your heart,
Life tenderly gathers up the true of spirit,
It does not consign the loving to the pyre,
Beloved, I could not bear to wound your gentle soul,
Let every photograph become ash upon the wind,
Let all his vestiges be swept into oblivion,
Tonight, enfold your fragile yearnings within your arms,
As sunrise stirs, forget the heartless one forever
