Paroles et traduction Serhat Durmus feat. Sıla Koçyiğit - Sessiz Gemi

Sessiz Gemi

Artık demir almak günü gelmişse zamandan,
Meçhule giden bir gemi kalkar bu limandan.
Hiç yolcusu yokmuş gibi sessizce alır yol;
Sallanmaz o kalkışta ne mendil ne de bir kol.
Rıhtımda kalanlar bu seyahatten elemli,
Günlerce siyah ufka bakar gözleri nemli.
Biçare gönüller! Ne giden son gemidir bu!
Hicranlı hayatın ne de son matemidir bu!
Dünyada sevilmiş ve seven nafile bekler;
Bilmez ki giden sevgililer dönmeyecekler.
Birçok gidenin her biri memnun ki yerinden,
Birçok seneler geçti; dönen yok seferinden.

Silent Ship

If the day has come to weigh anchor from time,
A ship bound for the unknown departs from this harbor.
As if it has no passengers, it silently sets sail;
Neither handkerchief nor arm waves in that departure.
Those who remain on the pier are saddened by this journey,
Their eyes, filled with tears, gaze at the black horizon for days.
Wretched hearts! This is not the last ship to depart!
Nor is this the final mourning of a life filled with longing!
In this world, those who have loved and been loved wait in vain;
They do not know that the departed lovers will not return.
Each of the many who have gone is content with their place,
Many years have passed; none have returned from their voyage.
