Lyrics and translation Nilüfer - Tövbekar

Tövbekar

Genç yaşımda yıktı beni kederler
Kendi kaderime sitemkar oldum
Ağlayan sonunda güler dediler
Ömrümce gülmedim isyankar oldum

Sevgilim akıttı hep gözyaşımı
Dağlara taşlara vurdum başımı
Ölmeden diktirdim mezar taşımı
Sonunda sevmeye tövbekar oldum

Anladım hayatın bütünü rüya
Dostluklar yalanmış sevgiler riya
Kızdım getiren beni dünyaya
Anama babama sitemkar oldum

Sevgilim akıttı hep gözyaşımı
Dağlara taşlara vurdum başımı
Ölmeden diktirdim mezar taşımı
Sonunda sevmeye tövbekar oldum

The Repenter

In my youth sorrows crushed me,
I complained about my own fate,
They said that those who weep will eventually laugh,
But I have never laughed in my life and have been rebellious,

My darling has always made me cry,
I have struck my head against rocks and stones,
I ordered my tombstone to be erected before I die,
I have finally repented from loving,

I have understood that life is just a dream,
Friendships are false, love is hypocrisy,
I was angry with those who brought me into the world,
I complained about my mother and father,

My darling has always made me cry,
I have struck my head against rocks and stones,
I ordered my tombstone to be erected before I die,
I have finally repented from loving,
