Uyandım sabah ile
I woke up with the morning (1)
Gözyaşım' sile sile
While wiping my tear away.
Ecel kapımı çaldı
The Death knocked on my door.
Ağlıyorum nafaile
I'm crying in vain.
Deryada feryada
In the sea, in scream (2)
Gam çekmişem dünyada
I've sorrowed in the world.
Elimde yeşil fincan
A green cup in my hand (3)
Yüküm gam, gönlüm hicran
My burden is sorrow, my heart is in longing.
Yar gurbet ellerinde
My love is abroad, (4)
Dayanır mı buna can
Can my heart bear it? (5)
Deryada feryada
In the sea, in scream
Gam çekmişem dünyada
I've sorrowed in the world.
Elimde yeşil güğüm
A green kettle in my hand (6)
Yüreğimde kördüğüm
A deadlock in heart.
Yıllar oldu hasretim
It's been years that I've been yearning,
Var mı yari gördüğüm
But have I ever seen my love?
Deryada feryada
In the sea, in scream
Gam çekmişem dünyada
I've sorrowed in the world.
