Lyrics and translation Orhan Gencebay - Ziyankar




Ziyankar
Ziyankar
Harcadim ömrümü hep senin için
I spent my life for you
Sevilmek bir hayal, sevmemek ziyan
To be loved is a dream, not to be loved is a waste
Ettiğim duadan ümide kadar
From the prayers I made to my hopes
Döktüğüm gözyaşım, nefretim ziyan
The tears I shed, my hatred, all went to waste
Ettiğim duadan ümide kadar
From the prayers I made to my hopes
Döktüğüm gözyaşım, nefretim ziyan
The tears I shed, my hatred, all went to waste
Yaradan doğ demiş, ben de doğmuşum
The Creator said, "Be born," and I was born
Bir gönle gir demiş, seni bulmuşum
He said, "Enter a heart," and I found you
Ne yazık, sayende sefil olmuşum
But sadly, because of you, I've become wretched
İbret-i alemi, görmemek ziyan
To see the lesson, not to see, that was my loss
Yaradan doğ demiş, ben de doğmuşum
The Creator said, "Be born," and I was born
Bir gönle gir demiş, seni bulmuşum
He said, "Enter a heart," and I found you
Ne yazık, sayende sefil olmuşum
But sadly, because of you, I've become wretched
İbret-i alemi, görmemek ziyan
To see the lesson, not to see, that was my loss
Ömrümden çaldığın zamana yazık
It's a waste of time you stole from my life
Uğrunda verdiğim son nefes ziyan
My last breath I gave for you is a waste
Bilirim bu dünya sensiz yaşanmaz
I know this world can't be lived in without you
Sensiz, bir dert ile güne başlanmaz
Without you, a day can't start with a heartache
Sen de bil kahrına bu can dayanmaz
But you should know, my heart can't bear your torment
Yaşamak çok güzel, seninle ziyan
Life is beautiful, but with you, it's a waste
Sen de bil kahrına bu can dayanmaz
But you should know, my heart can't bear your torment
Yaşamak çok güzel, seninle ziyan
Life is beautiful, but with you, it's a waste
Al beni vur yere, parça parça et
Take me, throw me to the ground, tear me into pieces
İstersen sen beni, istersen kahret
If you want me, you can have me, or you can torment me
Bu mudur sevene verdiğin kıymet
Is this the value you give to a lover?
Sevmenin böylesi ölmekten ziyan
This kind of love is worse than death
Yaradan doğ demiş, ben de doğmuşum
The Creator said, "Be born," and I was born
Bir gönle gir demiş, seni bulmuşum
He said, "Enter a heart," and I found you
Ne yazık, sayende sefil olmuşum
But sadly, because of you, I've become wretched
İbret-i alemi, görmemek ziyan
To see the lesson, not to see, that was my loss
Ömrümden çaldığın zamana yazık
It's a waste of time you stole from my life
Uğrunda verdiğim son nefes ziyan
My last breath I gave for you is a waste
