Lyrics and translation Müslüm Gürses - Altın Iken Tunç Oldum

Altın Iken Tunç Oldum

Altın iken tunç oldum
Seçilmez pirinç oldum ey
Felek muradın oldu mu ey
Ah felek muradın oldu mu ey
Yine ellere gülünç oldum ey

Kuş oldum dala geldim ey
Ağlardım kardaş, bağa geldim ey
Felek ah felek muradın oldu mu ey
Valla istediğin hale geldim ey

Felek muradın oldu mu ey
Valla istediğin hale geldim ey

I Was Gold, Now I'm Bronze

I was gold, now I'm bronze
I'm no longer chosen, I'm like cheap brass
Has fate had its way with you, my love?
Oh, fate, has your wish come true?
I've become a laughingstock for everyone once more

I became a bird and perched upon a branch
I wept, my beloved, when I came to your garden
Fate, oh fate, have you had your wicked way?
By God, I've become whatever you wanted me to be

Has fate had its way with you, my love?
By God, I've become whatever you wanted me to be
