Lyrics of En Büyük Sır - Orhan Gencebay

En Büyük Sır (original)

En büyük sır daha bilinmeyendir
En güzel söz henüz söylenmeyendir
En büyük sır daha bilinmeyendir
En güzel söz henüz söylenmeyendir
Aşığın dertlisi ızdırap çekip
Benim gibi sevip sevil sevilmeyendir
Ey benim gönlüme sığmayan sevgilim
Açıldı ellerim ümit semada
Sen doğduğun günden beri gönlüm belada
Sen benimsin geceleri ancak rüyamda
Benim hülyamda
Yaşamak gücünü bana verensin
Biçare ömrümün tek çaresisin
Yine düğüm düğüm oldu heceler
Bitmez ömür bitmez günler geceler
Sevilmeden sevip aşka kul olan
Şu alemde çoktur belki benim gibiler
Açıldı ellerim ümit semada
Nasırlı dudaklar susuz duada
Sen doğduğun günden beri gönlüm belada
Sen benimsin geceleri ancak rüyamda
Benim hülyamda
Yaşamak gücünü bana verensin
Biçare ömrümün tek çaresisin, tek çaresisin

(translation)

The biggest secret is still unknown
The most beautiful word is the one that has not yet been said
The biggest secret is still unknown
The most beautiful word is the one that has not yet been said
The lover's sufferer suffers
love and be loved like me
O my beloved who does not fit in my heart
My hands are open, hope is in the sky
I've been in trouble since the day you were born
You are mine at night only in my dreams
in my dream
You gave me the strength to live
You are the only solution to my desperate life
The syllables became knots again
Endless life, endless days and nights
The one who loves without being loved and is a slave to love
There are many in this world, maybe they are like me.
My hands are open, hope is in the sky
Callused lips in thirsty prayer
I've been in trouble since the day you were born
You are mine at night only in my dreams
in my dream
You gave me the strength to live
You're the only cure in my desperate life, you're the only cure
