| Düşsem uçurumlardan, uyansam okyanuslarda | Were I to tumble from the rim of night, to wake in the kelp-tangled hush of ocean floors, |
| Yine de gözlerin gibi olamaz | Still, nothing would mirror the spell in your eyes. |
| Ölsem yokluğundan, karşımda cennet olsa | Should I perish of your absence, with paradise trembling before me, |
| Yine de senin yanın gibi olamaz | Not even its light could rival the warmth by your side. |
| Kör oldu gözlerim inan seni bulamam | My sight is undone—believe me, I could not trace your shadow. |
| Bağladın kollarımı bak seni tutamam | You’ve bound my arms in air, and see—my hands cannot reach you. |
| Tutulmuş dilim, gidersen seni soramam | My tongue is sealed—if you depart, your name will drown in silence. |
| Zaten hep sen olmuşum ben, senin olamam | I have become your echo, always you—yet never yours. |
| Geliyor muyum hiç aklına? | Am I ever a flicker across your mind’s dark glass? |
| Düşüyor muyum uçurumlara? | Do I plummet, alone, into chasms you summon? |
| İtiyor musun utanmadan?(ah, ah, ah) | Are you the one who, shameless, forsakes me to the void? (ah, ah, ah) |
| Geliyorum elbet aklına | And yet, I rise—sure as memory—within your thoughts. |
| İtemediğin uçurumlara | To those abysses your heart could never urge me toward, |
| Düşüyorum hiç usanmadan (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) | I descend and descend, untiring, as if falling were breath. (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) |
| Ne var içimde isteyip de silemediğim? | What dwells in me that I ache to erase, yet cannot unmake? |
| Nefesinden gözlerine yine sen içinde kaldım | From the hush of your breath to the lanterns of your eyes, I remain enclosed within you. |
| Ne affederim ne de sanma vazgeçerim | There is no pardon, nor imagine I could surrender— |
| Sen giderken uzaklara yine ben yerimde kaldım | While you vanished to distant countries, I stood, rooted, unmoved. |
| Biri dokunursa ellerine | If some hand should brush the lines of your palm, |
| Bakınca gökyüzüne, bir adam görürsen o benim | When you study the heavens and glimpse a solitary figure—that is me. |
| Biri alırsa seni gönlüne | If another should cradle you within his yearning heart, |
| Bakınca geçmişine, bir adam görürse o benim | Should he gaze on his yesterdays, and see a lone man—it is me. |
