Lyrics and translation Cengiz Özkan - Sen Bir Ceylan Olsan

Sen Bir Ceylan Olsan

Sen bir ceylan olsan ben de bir avcı
Avlasam çöllerde saz ile seni
Bulunmaz dermanı yoktur ilacı
Vursam yaralasam söz ile seni
Delay delay delay söz ile seni
Kurulma sevdiğim güzelim deyin
Bağlanma karayı alları geyin
Ben bir çoban olsam sen de bir koyun
Seslesem elime tuz ile seni
Delay delay delay tuz ile seni
Koyun olsan otlatırdım yaylada
Tellerini yoldurmazdım hoyrada
Balık olsan takla dönsen deryada
Düşürsem toruma hız ile seni
Delay delay delay hız ile seni
Veysel der ismini koymam dilimden
Ayrı düştüm vatanımdan ilimden
Kuş olsan da kurtulmazdın elimden
Eğer görse idim göz ile seni
Delay delay delay göz ile seni

If You Were a Gazelle

If you were a gazelle, and I a hunter
I would hunt you in the deserts with music
There's no cure or medicine to be found
I'd shoot and wound you with words
Delay delay delay with words
Don't stand so tall, my beautiful one
Don't entrap yourself, wear bright colors
If I were a shepherd, and you a lamb
I would call you to my hand with salt
Delay delay delay with salt
If you were a sheep, I would graze you in the meadow
I would not let your wool grow long in the wilderness
If you were a fish, doing somersaults in the sea
I would cast my net swiftly
Delay delay delay with speed
Veysel says I will never forget your name
I am separated from my homeland and my knowledge
If you were a bird, you would not escape my hand
If only I could see you with my own eyes
Delay delay delay with my eyes
