Gözü kör, dili taş duvar
Konuşmaz istasyonlar
Trenler çığlık çığlık
Ayrılık katar katar
Bir bahar akşamıydı
Beni burda koydun yar
Söz verip de almadın
Sarı ayva kızıl nar

Yemin ettin bin kere
Kutsal kitap üstüne
Ben ölemedim bir türlü
Vurgun vurgun üstüne
Tutamadım ahdını
Düğün bayram ettiler
Baban yazdı bahtımı
Bizi kurban seçtiler

Ben başka yastıktayım
Sen ele kuşak çözdün
Ne ben mahremim ne sen
Kavlimizi sen bozdun
Bahtiyar ol gözüm yok
Rabbim verir sabrını
Bu hesap böyle bitsin
Helal ettim hakkımı

Translation

The wall is blind and tongue-tied
The train stations are mute
Trains pass by screaming
Wagons full of parting
It was an evening in spring
You left me here behind
Broke the promise you made
Yellow quince, red pomegranate

You made vows a thousand times
Swore it on the Holy Script
After a million strokes and blows
I survived although life’s tried
It was so hard to keep your oath
People feasted when we parted
It was your father who sealed or fate
They have sacrificed us both

Now I share another’s pillow
You unbelt for another’s eyes
We’re not pure for each other anymore
You’re the one who broke your pledge
Just b happy, I won’t envy
Patience will be God’s gift to me
Let’s settle the score here and now
You don’t owe me anymore
