Denizde kararti var, bu gelen kayik midur?
There's fog over the sea, is the coming thing a boat?
Ben ozledum yarimi, ağlasam ayip midur?
I've missed my lover very much, would it be inappropriate if I cry?
Oy dumanlar dumanlar, hep dağlari sardunuz
Ah smokes, smokes, you surrounded the mountains
Yüreğumun derdini bilsenuz ağlardunuz.
If you had known the sorrow in my heart, you would have cried
Karardi Kara Deniz, taşti bu yana taşti
The Blacksea faded and flooded towards this side
Haber verun yarume, gözlerum doldi taşti.
Let my lover know, my eyes are full with tears and they flooded
Gemi mil ilen olur, sevda dil ilen olur
Ships fit with miles, love fits with the tongue
Güzeller çok var ama, meyil birine olur.
There are many beautiful (people) but the tendency is only for one
