Paroles et traduction Neşet Ertaş - Olamam

Olamam

Gönül yârin bulmayınca
Gönül yârin bulmayınca
Muradını alamayınca
O yâr benim olmayınca

Gülemem, gülemem
Ben o yârsız olamam
Olamam, olamam
Ben o yârsız olamam

Aktı gözüm seller gibi
Aktı gözüm seller gibi
Yandı bağrım çöller gibi
Susuz kalmış güller gibi

Solamam, solamam
Ben o yârsız olamam
Olamam, olamam
Ben o yârsız olamam

Yâr gönlümde bilmeyince
Yâr gönlümde bilmeyince
Garip gönlüm gülmeyince
Yâr yanımda olmayınca

Ölemem, ölemem
Ben o yârsız olamam
Olamam, olamam
Ben o yârsız olamam

I Can't

When my heart can't find its beloved,
When my heart can't find its beloved,
When my heart can't fulfill its desire,
When that beloved is not mine,

I can't laugh, I can't laugh,
I can't be without that beloved,
I can't, I can't,
I can't be without that beloved.

My eyes have flowed like rivers,
My eyes have flowed like rivers,
My heart has burned like deserts,
Like roses left thirsty.

I can't wither, I can't wither,
I can't be without that beloved,
I can't, I can't,
I can't be without that beloved.

When my beloved doesn't know my heart,
When my beloved doesn't know my heart,
When my strange heart doesn't laugh,
When my beloved is not beside me,

I can't die, I can't die,
I can't be without that beloved,
I can't, I can't,
I can't be without that beloved.
