Lyrics and translation Ferdi Tayfur - Tövbekar




Tövbekar
Repentant
Genç yaşımda yıktı beni kederler
Grievances destroyed me in my youth
Kendi kaderime sitem kar oldum
I became a source of misfortune for my own fate
Ağlayan sonunda güler dediler
They said that those who weep will eventually laugh
Ömrümce gülmedim isyankar oldum
I never laughed in my life; I became a rebel
Sevgilim akıttı hep gözyaşımı
My lover always made me shed tears
Aşk diye taşlara vurdum başımı
In the name of love, I banged my head against stones
Ölmeden diktirdin mezar taşımı
You built my tombstone before I died
Sonunda sevmeye tövbekar oldum
In the end, I repented from loving
Anladım hayatın bütünü rüya
I realized that life is merely a dream
Dostluklar yalanmış söylenen riya
Friendships are false, and words are mere deception
Kızdım getirene beni dünyaya
I cursed the one who brought me into this world
Anama Allah'ıma günahkar oldum
I sinned against my mother and my God
