Translation of the song Bülbülüm Altın Kafeste artist Pinhani

Bülbülüm altın kafeste, aman

My Nightingale is in a Golden Birdcage, aman*

Öter aheste aheste.

It chirps slowly,

Ötme bülbül, yarim hasta

Don't chirp my nightingale my beloved is ill;

Ah neyleyim şu gönlüme,

What should I say to my heart?

Hasret kaldım sevdiğime.

I long for my lover.

Ben sana aldanamam yarim

I cannot be deceived(1) by you,

Ben sana dayanamam

(Yet) I cannot withstand against you,

Ben sana aldanamam yarim

I cannot be deceived by you,

Ben sana dayanamam.

(Yet) I cannot withstand you.

Bülbülleri har ağlatır,

Fire makes cry all the nightingales

Aşıkları yar ağlatır.

Love makes cry all the lovers

Ben feleğe neylemişim,

I don't care about fate anymore,

Beni her bahar ağlatır.

(She/Fate) makes me cry every spring.

Ben sana aldanamam yarim

I cannot be deceived by you.

Ben sana dayanamam

(Yet) I cannot withstand against you,

Ben sana aldanamam yarim

I cannot be deceived by you,

Ben sana dayanamam.

(Yet) I cannot withstand you.
