Lyrics and translation Orhan Gencebay - Eyvah

Eyvah

Bu dünyada bir kötüye kul olmuşsan
Canım diye eyvah eyvah eyvah
Akan yaşı kaderinden bekliyorsan
Siler diye eyvah eyvah eyvah

Gerçekleri yalanlardan
Ayırıp da görmediysen eyvah
Dünyanın her nimetinden
Bir payın var almadıysan eyvah eyvah eyvah eyvah vah

Sevgi nedir tatmadıysan
Bir ot gibi yaşadıysan
Bir güzele mecnun olup
Aşk derdini sarmadıysan
Bilmediysen tatmadıysan
Sevmediysen eyvah eyvah

Kim diyorsa bahtım kara
Hiç kapanmaz böyle yara yalan yalan yalan
Her derdin bir dermanı var
Her tövbede umut başlar inan
Şu gök kubbe bizi sarar
Yok âlemde baki kalan kalan kalan kalan kalan vah

Sevgi nedir tatmadıysan
Bir ot gibi yaşadıysan
Bir güzele mecnun olup
Aşk derdini sarmadıysan
Bilmediysen tatmadıysan
Sevmediysen eyvah eyvah

Oh Dear

If you've become a slave to evil in this world
My darling, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
If you expect fate to dry your tears
It will wipe them away, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

If you haven't distinguished between truth and lies
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
If you haven't taken your share of all the world's blessings
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh woe

If you haven't tasted what love is
If you've lived like a weed
If you haven't been crazy over a beautiful woman
If you haven't embraced the pain of love
If you haven't known, tasted, or loved
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

Whoever says my luck is bad
Such wounds never heal, it's all lies, lies, lies
Every pain has a cure
Every repentance brings hope, believe it
This celestial dome surrounds us
Nothing in this world lasts forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, oh woe

If you haven't tasted what love is
If you've lived like a weed
If you haven't been crazy over a beautiful woman
If you haven't embraced the pain of love
If you haven't known, tasted, or loved
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
