Paroles et traduction Ayhan Aydin & Cem Dogan - Gafil Gezme Şaşkın

Gafil Gezme Şaşkın

Gafil Gezme Şaşkın Bir Gün Ölürsün
Dünya Kadar Malın Olsa Ne Fayda
Söyleyen Dillerin Söylemez Olur
Bülbül Gibi Dilin Olsa Ne Fayda
Sen Söylersin Söz İçinde Sözün Var
Çalarsın Çırparsın Oğlun Kızın Var
Şu Dünyada Üç Beş Arşın Bezin Var
Tüm Bedesten Senin Olsa Ne Fayda
Kul Himmet Üstadım Gelse Otursa
Hakkın Kelamını Dile Getirsen
Dünya Benim Deyi Zapta Geçirse
Karun Kadar Malın Olsa Ne Fayda

Be Not Deceived, You Wanderer, You Will Die One Day

My love, do not wander heedlessly, for one day you will die.
What good will it do you if you have as much wealth as the world?
The tongues that speak will cease to speak.
What good will it do you if you have a tongue as sweet as a nightingale?
You may speak, and your words may be filled with wisdom.
You may steal and plunder, and you may have sons and daughters.
In this world, you have only a few yards of cloth to your name.
What good will it do you if you own all the bazaars?
Your master, the sage, may come and sit with you.
He may speak the words of God.
He may conquer the world and claim it as his own.
What good will it do you if you have as much wealth as Karun?
