Lyrics and translation Feryal Öney - Yolcu

Yolcu

Bir anadan dünyaya gelen yolcu
Görünce dünyaya gönül verdin mi
Görünce dünyaya gönül verdin mi

Kimi büyük kimi böcek kimi kurt
Kimi büyük kimi böcek kimi kurt
Merak edip hiç birini sordun mu
Bunlar neden nedenini hiç sordun mu

Vade tekmil olup ömür dolmadan
Emanetçi emanetin almadan
Emanetçi emanetin almadan

Ömrünün bağının gülü solmadan
Ömrünün bağının gülü solmadan
Varıp bir canana ikrar verdin mi
Varıp bir canana ikrar verdin mi

Garip bülbül gibi feryad ederiz
Cehalet elinde küskün kederiz
Cahiller elinde küskün kederiz

Hep yolcuyuz böyle gelir gideriz
Hep yolcuyuz böyle gelir gideriz
Dünya senin vatanın mı yurdun mu
Dünya senin vatanın mı yurdun mu

Traveler

A traveler coming into the world from a mother
When you saw the world, did you give it your heart?
When you saw the world, did you give it your heart?

Some are great, some are insects, some are worms
Some are great, some are insects, some are worms
Were you ever curious and asked about any of them?
Have you ever wondered why?

Before your time is up and your life is over
Before the custodian takes back what's entrusted
Before the custodian takes back what's entrusted

Before the rose in your garden of life withers
Before the rose in your garden of life withers
Have you gone and pledged yourself to a beloved?
Have you gone and pledged yourself to a beloved?

Like a strange nightingale, we cry out
In the hands of ignorance, we are resentful and sad
In the hands of the ignorant, we are resentful and sad

We are all travelers, that's how we come and go
We are all travelers, that's how we come and go
Is the world your homeland, your country?
Is the world your homeland, your country?
