Translation of the song Derviş Bağrı Taş Gerek artist Mustafa Ceceli

Derviş bağrı taş gerek

Being a saint requires getting stoned

Gözü dolu yaş gerek

Requires eyes full of tears

Koyundan yavaş gerek

Requires being slower than sheep

Sen derviş olamazsın

You can't be a saint

Sen Hakkı bulamazsın

You can't find the truth

Ya Mevlam Hu Mevlam

Oh My dear Lord

Aşkın bize ver Mevlam

Bless us with your love, dear Lord

Dövene elsiz gerek

Requires hands that do not hurt others

Sövene dilsiz Gerek

Requires a tongue that doesn't swear

Derviş gönülsüz gerek

Requires being careful

Sen derviş olamazsın

You can't be a saint

Sen Hakkı bulamazsın

You can't find the truth

Ya Mevlam Hu Mevlam

Oh My dear Lord

Aşkın bize ver Mevlam

Bless us with your love, dear Lord

Doğruya varmayınca

Without getting at the right place

Mürşide ermeyince

Without ending up with a teacher

Hak nasip etmeyince

Without getting to the truth

Sen derviş olamazsın

You can't be a saint

Sen Hakkı bulamazsın

You can't find the truth

Ya Mevlam Hu Mevlam

Oh My dear Lord

Aşkın bize ver Mevlam

Bless us with your love, dear Lord

Derviş Yunus gel şimdi

Oh Saint Yunus come now

Ummanlara dal şimdi

Make us swim deep into the sea

Ummana dalmayınca

Without swimming deep into the sea

Sen derviş olamazsın

You can't be a saint

Sen Hakkı bulamazsın

You can't find the truth

Ya Mevlam Hu Mevlam

Oh My dear Lord

Aşkın bize ver Mevlam

Bless us with your love, dear Lord
