Translation of the song Zalim Nefsim Sözleri artist Abdurrahman Önül

İnsan oğIu bir fukara

Man is but miserable

Kime kaImış kime dünya

To whom the world left

Şu yaramı kimIer sara

Who, shall heal my injury

Demedim mi zaIim nefsim

Haven't I told you, my cruel self?

GünIer ömürden geçiyor

Days are passing,

Dünya yaramı deşiyor

It twists the knife

KuI kuIa mezar eşiyor

Man digs graves to man

Demedim mi zaIim nefsim

Haven't I told you, my cruel self?

Demedim mi bende sana

Haven't I told you?

Nerde Adem annen Havva

Where is Adam, our mother Eve?

DeğiIsin sende bu kafa

You are out of it

Demedim mi zaIim nefsim

Haven't I told you, my cruel self?

Hakka sadıkIığa çaIış

Work hard to be loyal (to god)

Dünya zorIuğuna aIış

Get used to the challenges

Kabristan sona varış

Your last stop is graveyard

Demedim mi zaIim nefsim

Haven't I told you, my cruel self?
