Lyrics and translation Orhan Hakalmaz - Mendilim İşle Yolla

Mendilim İşle Yolla

Mendilim işle yolla mendilim
İşle yolla işle gümüşle yolla diyar yâr
Haldan bilmez diyar yâr
Söz anlamaz ne çare
İçine beş elma koy içine
Beş elma koy birini dişle yolla diyar yâr
Halden bilmez diyar yâr
Geçti ömrüm ne fayda
Mendilim iri dallı mendilim
İri dallı ucunda lira bağlı diyar yâr
Haldan bilmez diyar yâr
Söz anlamaz ne çare
Her kime gönül versem her kime
Gönül versem yâr başım sana bağlı diyar yâr
Haldan bilmez diyar yâr
Geçti ömrüm ne fayda
Kara taş boyanır mı kara taş?
Boyanır mı öpsem yâr uyanıır mı diyar yâr?
Halden bilmez diyar yâr
Söz anlamaz ne çare
Sen orada ben bur'da
Sen orada ben bur'da
Buna can dayanır mı diyar yâr?
Halden bilmez diyar yâr
Geçti ömrüm ne fayda

Send My Embroidered Handkerchief

Embroider and send my handkerchief, my handkerchief
Embroider and send it, embroider it with silver and send it to my distant love
My distant love doesn't understand my feelings
Doesn't understand a word, what can I do?
Put five apples inside, put five apples inside
Put five apples inside and bite one and send it to my distant love
My distant love doesn't understand my feelings
My life has passed, what's the use?
My handkerchief has large branches, my handkerchief
It has large branches, and a lira is tied to its end, my distant love
My distant love doesn't understand my feelings
Doesn't understand a word, what can I do?
To whomsoever I give my heart, to whomsoever
To whomsoever I give my heart, my head is devoted to you, my distant love
My distant love doesn't understand my feelings
My life has passed, what's the use?
Can a black stone be painted? Can a black stone
Can it be painted? If I kiss you, my love, will you wake up, my distant love?
My distant love doesn't understand my feelings
Doesn't understand a word, what can I do?
You are there, and I am here
You are there, and I am here
Can my heart endure this, my distant love?
My distant love doesn't understand my feelings
My life has passed, what's the use?
