Translation of the song lyrics Dudu - Tarkan

Dudu (original)

Ağlamadan ayrılık olmaz
Hatıralar uslu durmaz
Kalanlar gideni gönlünde taşır
Aşk sevene yük olmaz
Biz böyle bilir böyle yaşarız
Ooo... da biliyor
Ooo... da seviyor
Ooo... bile bile kafa tutuyor aşka gözü kara
O yine bildiğini okuyor

Çiçek gibi tazecik
Kıymetli bi tanecik
Ana sütü gibi tertemiz
Dudu dudu dilleri
Lıkır lıkır içmeli
Gözleri derya deniz

Bu gönül ona torpil geçiyor
Etrafında fır dönüyor
El bebek gül bebektir o...
Ne yapsa inadına hoş görüyor
Kara kara düşündürüyor
Ooo... onun da içi gidiyor
Ooo... da tasalanıyor
Ooo... bile bile kafa tutuyor aşka gözü kara
O yine bildiğini okuyor

Sen güldüğüme bakma
Gör de duy da inanma
Tuz buz oldu bu kalp ah on bin parça
Aldığın her nefeste
Attığın her adımda burda olsa
Cancağızım yanımda olsa

Çiçek gibi tazecik
Kıymetli bi tanecik
Ana sütü gibi tertemiz
Dudu dudu dilleri
Lıkır lıkır içmeli
Gözleri derya deniz

Ata ata dertleri hep içime attım
İnsan gibi yaşamak benim de hakkım
İçimdeki zemberek kırıldı artık
Tamiri mümkün değilse işte o gün yandık
Her gün yağmur yağabilir
İnsan hata yapabilir
Birbirimize tutunursak
Belki güneş doğabilir

Ooo... da biliyor
Ooo... da seviyor
Ooo... bile bile kafa tutuyor aşka gözü kara
O yine bildiğini okuyor

Çiçek gibi tazecik
Kıymetli bi tanecik
Ana sütü gibi tertemiz
Dudu dudu dilleri
Lıkır lıkır içmeli
Gözleri derya deniz

Dudu (translation)

No parting ever passes without tears’ blessing,
Memories, unruly, slip the leash of stillness,
Those left behind bear the departed, a weight in the heart’s hollow,
For the loving soul, love is never ballast or burden,
Thus have we known, thus have we endured our days.
Ooo... she too is wise to it,
Ooo... she too is seized by it,
Ooo... eyes wide to the dark, she courts love’s storm with reckless valor,
Yet she, unbowed, keeps reading her own fate,

New as the first rose of May in the dew,
My one, more precious than any found jewel,
Chaste as the draught that first nursed the newborn,
Her tongue, dudu dudu, a music of rivers,
To drink in her voice in long, unbroken draughts,
Her eyes—a sea on which the firmament floats,

This heart grants her passage, a secret favor bestowed,
About her, the world turns in dizzying orbit,
To me she is an infant cherished, a blossom rare...
Whatever she wills, I forgive, even her stubbornest folly,
She clouds my days with obsidian thought,
Ooo... even her spirit is drawn by longing,
Ooo... she too is wracked—her soul grows heavy,
Ooo... eyes wide to the dark, she courts love’s storm with reckless valor,
Yet she, unbowed, keeps reading her own fate,

Do not be fooled by my laughter’s thin disguise,
See, listen, but let disbelief shield your heart,
This heart has shattered—ten thousand sharp-edged shards,
With every breath you draw,
With every step you take—if only here,
If only, beloved, by my side you remained,

New as the first rose of May in the dew,
My one, more precious than any found jewel,
Chaste as the draught that first nursed the newborn,
Her tongue, dudu dudu, a music of rivers,
To drink in her voice in long, unbroken draughts,
Her eyes—a sea on which the firmament floats,

Grief upon grief I have buried inside,
To live with dignity is my birthright, too,
The spring within me has snapped—its song is silenced,
If mending is denied, that is the day we smolder and burn,
It may rain every day—a slow, relentless weeping,
Human hearts falter, stumble into error,
If we would only cling to each other,
Perhaps the morning sun will break through the gray,

Ooo... she too is wise to it,
Ooo... she too is seized by it,
Ooo... eyes wide to the dark, she courts love’s storm with reckless valor,
Yet she, unbowed, keeps reading her own fate,

New as the first rose of May in the dew,
My one, more precious than any found jewel,
Chaste as the draught that first nursed the newborn,
Her tongue, dudu dudu, a music of rivers,
To drink in her voice in long, unbroken draughts,
Her eyes—a sea on which the firmament floats
