Translation of the song Karadır Şu Bahtım Kara artist Neşet Ertaş

Karadır bu bahtım kara

I have such an ill fate

Sözüm kâr etmiyor yare

And my words are meaningless to my love

Yüreğimi yaktı nara

She have burnt my heart by fire

Eyvah eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh

Kendim ettim kendim buldum

I have prepared this fate to myself

Gül gibi sararıp soldum

I have turned pale and then withered just like a rose

Eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh

Bilmez yar gönülden bilmez

My love doesn't understand my situation at all

Akar göz yaşlarım dinmez

My tears flow without a break

Bir kere yüzüme gülmez

She doesn't smile back at me, not even once

Eyvah eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh

Kendim ettim kendim buldum

I have prepared this fate to myself

Gül gibi sararıp soldum

I have turned pale and then withered just like a rose

Eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh

Söylerim sözüm almıyor

I speak my mind but she doesn't get it

O yar yüzüme gülmüyor

That love of mine doesn't smile back at me

Garip gönlümü bilmiyor

She doesn't know about my poor heart

Eyvah eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh

Kendim ettim kendim buldum

I have prepared this fate to myself

Gül gibi sararıp soldum

I have turned pale and then withered just like a rose

Eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh

Kendim ettim kendim buldum

I have prepared this fate to myself

Gül gibi sararıp soldum

I have turned pale and then withered just like a rose

Eyvah eyvah eyy

Alas, alas, oh
