Translation of the song Mektüp yazdım artist Jamala

Sen yazarsın, men yazalmam,

You write, either I can't do it,

Gendi yurtuma gelâlmam.

I can't come to my own home

Ayıranlar gülmez olsun,

Separators don't laugh,

Bana ne oldu?

What happened to me?

Mektüp yazdım gözyaşımdan,

I wrote a letter from my tears,

Nelere gidem bu başımdan,

Where should I go?

Halem yazmaz, elim tutmaz,

Pen does not write, my hand is disable

Bana ne oldu?

What happened to me?

Mektüp yazdım, halem yazmaz,

I wrote a letter, the pen doesn’t do that

Men de sen de yuvam tetmez,

My house cannot be held by you and me 1

Talef eden o da gelmez,

The applicant doesn’t come,

Bana ne oldu?

What happened to me?

Sen yazarsın, men yazalmam.

You write, either I can't do it,

Gendi yurtuma gelâlmam.

I can't come to my own home.

Ayıranlar gülmez olsun,

Separators don't laugh,

Bana ne oldu?

What happened to me?
