Lyrics and translation Cem Karaca - Karacaoğlan

Karacaoğlan

Altın kafes idi benim durağım
Dost elinden yaralandı, yaralandı yüreğim
Evvel yakın idim gardaş, evvel yakın idim oy
Evvel yakın idim gardaş, evvel yakın idim oy ninem
Şimdi ırağım
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı
Kumaş olsam arşın arşın, arşın arşın yırtılsam
Köle olsam çarşılarda, pazarlarda satılsam
Vadem yetmedi ki gardaş, vadem yetmedi ki oy ninem oy
Vadem yetmedi ki gardaş, vadem yetmedi ki oy
Ölsem kurtulsam
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı
Felek beni nazlı yardan ayırdı

Karacaoğlan

My resting place was a golden cage
My heart was wounded by a dear friend
In the beginning, we were close, my sister, in the beginning, we were close
In the beginning, we were close, my sister, in the beginning, we were close, my grandmother
Now I'm far away
Fate separated me from my beloved
Fate separated me from my beloved
If I were a fabric, torn into yards and yards
If I were a slave, sold in the markets and squares
My time has not come, my sister, my time has not come, my grandmother
My time has not come, my sister, my time has not come
If I could die and be free
Fate separated me from my beloved
Fate separated me from my beloved
Fate separated me from my beloved
Fate separated me from my beloved
Fate separated me from my beloved
