Translation of the song Şu Yalan Dünyaya artist Ahmet Aslan

Şu yalan dünyaya geldim geleli

Since I came to that fake world

Tas tas içtim ağuları sağ iken

I have drunk a basinful of poison while alive

Zalim felek vermez benim muradım

Cruel fate does not let me attain my desire

Viran oldum mor sümbüllü bağ iken

I was wrecked when I was a vineyard of purple hyacinth

Aradılar bir tenhada buldular

They sought and found in solitude

Yaslandılar şıvgalarım kırdılar

They leaned and broke my branches

Yaz bahar ayında bir od verdiler

They gave a fire in this summer and spring

Yandım gittim ala karlı dağ iken

I burned when I was a snowy mountain

Karacaoğlan der ki bakın geline

Karacaoğlan 1 says: “look at the bride”

Ömrümün yarısı gitti talana

Half of my life is gone to pillage

Sual eylen bizden evvel gelene

Inquire whoever comes before us

Kim var imiş biz burada yoğ iken

Who was there when we weren’t here?
