Paroles et traduction Neşet Ertaş - Aradım Derdime

Aradım Derdime

Aradım derdime çare mi buldun
Bu sevda elinden sararıp soldum
Sefil mecnun gibi leyla'dan oldum
Derdimi ellere diye mi bildim
Ağladı gözlerim güle mi bildim
Tutuldum vereme bu genç yaşımda
Zalım kader dezerimiş peşimde
Dertli diye ayırdılar eşimden
Almayın yarimi diye mi bildim
Ağladı gözlerim güle mi bildim

Looking for a Cure for My Pain

I sought a cure for my pain, did you find it?
From this love I turned pale and worn
Like the wretched Majnun for Layla I became
Did I tell my troubles to the people outside?
My eyes were in tears, could I smile?
I was struck with consumption in my youth
Cruel fate continues to harass me
As a sick man, they separated me from my wife
Did I say, "Don't take my beloved one away?"
My eyes were in tears, could I smile?
