Anlatmam derdimi dertsiz insana
I won't tell of my woes to one with none
Dert çekmeyen dert kıymeti bilemez
They wouldn't know the worth of a problem
Derdim bana derman olmuş bilmedim
My woes have become my cure without me noticing
Gülü yetiştirir dikenli çalı
A thorny bush nurtures the rose
Arı her çiçekten yapıyor balı
Honey is made of all sorts of flowers*
Kişi sabır ile bulur kemalı
Through patience one finds maturity
Sabretmeyen maksudunu
Those who don't endure can't find their purpose
Bulamaz aman aman
They can't find
Bulamaz aman aman
They can't find
Veysel günler geçti yaş altmış oldu
Veysel, time has passed, here you are at your sixty**
Döküldü yaprağım güllerim soldu
I have shed my leaves, my petals lie wilted
Gemi yükün aldı gam ile doldu
My ship of sorrow has set sail
Harekete kimse mani
No one can stop things from happening
Olamaz aman aman
No one can stop
Olamaz aman aman
No one can stop
Hiçbir zaman gül dikensiz
No rose can be without its thorns
Olamaz aman aman
No rose can be
Olamaz aman aman
No rose can be
