Şafak söktü yoksun hala
The dawn (daybreak) ended but you are not here yet.
Ağlarım ben yana yana
I weep and moan.
Feryadım vardı dağlara
I have a cry to shout over these mountains,
Bitmez tükenmez yollara
over endless roads,
Uçuşan o martılara
flying seagulls,
Gözü yaşlı analara
weeping mothers
O dağlara o taşlara hey
those mountains and rocks
Dayanamam inananam
I can not endure and believe,
O sevdiğim sen olaman
that you are whom I loved her.
Yüreğime hançer vurdun
You stabbed my heart whit a dagger
Bunu yapan sen olaman hey hey
(I can not believe) that you did so
Gel canım cananım
Com my life and sweetheart
Elleri kınalım gözleri sürmelim
with hennaed hands
Bu bedenim sana bu yüreğim sana
with purled eyes
Kara kaşlarına kurban hey hey
This body is for you. This heart is for you
Esti rüzgar kor götürdü
The wind blew and took the ember,
Kalbe geldi küle döndü
and brought it to my heart and it burnt and turned into ash.
Yine bana hasret düştü
Yearning is my lot again
Neyleyim ben sensiz gülü
What shall I do on the day without you (I don’t want that day).
Çıktım dağlara dağlara
I climbed over the mountains,
Yürüdüğün yollara
the rods that you have walked
Bastığın o topraklara hey
the soil which you have walked
