Translation of the song Bilge artist Kuan

Saklanır mı dağlarının ardında ulu bir bilge

Is there a wise man hiding behind his mountains?

Söyler mi sorsam sırrını yüce alemin

Would he tell me the secret of this great universe if I asked?

Söyle ulu bilge bu alem nerden gelir nere gider

O great wise, where does this universe come from and where does it go?

Cevabını bilsem bu demde diner mi kalpteki sızı

If I learn the answer in this being, will this pain finally cease?

Dağlar yarıldı gökler delindi

The mountains cracked up, the sky fell down

Bilge düştü orta yere

The wise man fell into the ground

Dedi ey cahil kalpteki sızı

He said to me, oh you clueless child

Seni sen yapan güçtür her demde

That pain in your heart is the power that makes you you!

Yakar kaçanı yakar duranı

It burns those who run, it burns those who stay

Teslim olana candır her demde

But if you give in, it is the life in every breath

Dosttan öte yardan öte

Before your friend, before your lover

Senden öte sendir her demde

Before you, it is you in every breath
