| Çok geç olmuş, tam vakti gitmenin | It is too late—the hour ripened for departure, |
| Ama hoşça kal demiyor ki gözlerin | And still your eyes refuse to bid farewell. |
| Ellerin elimde hala, kokun daha hafızamda | Your hands remain in mine, your fragrance lingers—ghostly architecture in my memory's well, |
| Sonu yok bu elveda deyişlerin | These valedictions, endless as the sea’s horizon, |
| İlk defa olmuyor ki bu bana | Not the first eclipse to darken my horizon, |
| Biraz zaman lazım, derin yara | A little time is needed for such wounds—wounds that carve deep canyons in the soul, |
| Ağladım dün sen uyurken | I wept last night while you in dreams were wandering, |
| Gizli gizli, sessiz, içimden | In silence, hidden, like rain that weeps behind the windowpane, |
| Bu sefer ağır gelecek, besbelli | This time, the sorrow will descend like winter’s weight—unmistakable, |
| Bugün günlerden senden sonra | Today dawns: the calendar’s first day after you, |
| Aşk bir mevsim, gelmez bir daha | Love is a season—once it passes, it circles back no more, |
| Yalnız kalmak korkutmaz ki | Solitude does not send shivers through my marrow, |
| Alışır bu şehir, alışır elbet yokluğuna | This city will learn your absence—stone by stone, it will settle into emptiness, |
| Bugün günlerden senden sonra | Today dawns: the calendar’s first day after you, |
| Aşk bir mevsim, gelmez bir daha | Love is a season—once it passes, it circles back no more, |
| Yalnız kalmak korkutmaz ki | Solitude does not send shivers through my marrow, |
| Alışır bu gönül, alışır elbet yokluğuna | This heart, too, will be schooled in your absence—surely, it will teach itself to bear the void, |
| Belki bir düş gördük, rüyadayız | Perhaps it was a dream we dreamt—perhaps we are still adrift within it, |
| Ama düşleri sevdik, unutmayız | Yet we cherished those dreams—we shall not surrender them to oblivion, |
| Sanki çok sevmiş gibi yapanların ülkesinde | Here, in the land where love is only mimicry— |
| Kaçacak bi yer buluruz elbette | We will find a hidden haven, a passage to escape, |
