Translation of the song Derdimi Dökersem artist Altın Gün

Turkish

Derdimi Dökersem

English translation

If I Let My Woes Out

Derdimi dökersem derin dereye

If I were to let my woes out unto the river

Doldurur dereyi düz olur gider

It would overflow and raze all to the ground

Irakipler gelir girer araya

Rivals would get in between us

Korkarım yar benden yoz olur gider

I fear my beloved would fade away from my life

Pervane ateşten sakınmaz canı

A moth does not play safe with fire

Uğruna koymuşum canı bedeni

I have been risking life and limb for you

Doldur tüfek gibi hedef et beni

Load your rifle and aim on me

Yaram doksan dokuz yüz olur gider

I got ninety nine wounds, what's one more

Veysel der çıkayım bir yüce dağa

I want to climb a great mountain

Ağaçlar bezenmiş yeşil yaprağa

The trees are adorned in their green leaves

Zaman olur tenim düşer toprağa

Time flies, my skin crumbles to dust

Karışır toprağa toz olur gider

Becomes one with earth and blows away
