Tövbekâr
|
Turkish Lyrics |
English Translation |
| Genç yaşımda yıktı beni kederler | Sorrows have made me collapse at my young age. |
| Kendi kaderime sitemkâr oldum | I've become reproachful to my own destiny. |
| Ağlayan sonunda güler dediler | They said, "He who cried, will laugh in the end." |
| Ömrümce gülmedim isyankâr oldum | I have never laughed, I became rebellious. |
| Sevgilim akıttı hep gözyaşımı | My lover always made me shed tears. |
| Dağlara taşlara vurdum başımı | I've banged my head on mountains, on the rocks |
| Ölmeden diktirdim mezar taşımı | My tombstone was erected before I was dead. |
| Sonunda sevmeye tövbekâr oldum | In the end, I regret that I loved. |
| Anladım hayatın bütünü rüya | I realized that overall life is a dream. |
| Dostluklar yalanmış sevgiler riya | Friendships are a lie, love is a hypocrisy. |
| Kızdım getirene beni dünyaya | I was angry at those who brought me into the world — |
| Anama babama isyankâr oldum | I rebelled against my mother and father. |
