Translation of the song lyrics Ben Bilmem - Yalın

Ben Bilmem (original)

Kimsenin inanarak kapılacağı bir aşk yokken sen nerden çıktın
Duyduğum iki sözün biri yalanken seni kim böyle sakladı
Anlamadım daha önce nelere yıprandığını
Sorun bende mi anlamadım
Biz bu aşkla göklere
Duyulmamış düşlere
Kirlenmemiş hayallere uçacaktık
Ben bilmem unutmayı
Ben bilmem
Yüreğimde ağırlığınla
Sana esir canımla
Bu yollardan geçemem

Ben Bilmem (translation)

When love itself was but a fable no soul would dare pursue, from what far shore did you alight, astonishing and true
Of every whispered phrase, one cloaked in shadow, which unseen hand concealed you, veiled as morning dew
What winds had scoured your spirit’s cloth before you met my gaze I could not fathom then
Is it I who bear this flaw, or am I grasping at the void again
With this love, we were to soar—unfettered—toward the vaulted, trembling firmament
To dreams no ear has ever gathered, silent realms of wonderment
To visions yet unsullied, like lilies untouched by the mire, we would have taken flight
I am a stranger to forgetting’s art; the doors of memory do not yield to me at night
I do not know—
Your gravity presses cold in my chest, a stone whose weight is never spent
With a soul surrendered—captive, bound to you—I am unrepentant
These winding roads, with all your presence in me, I cannot cross, no matter my intent
