Paroles et traduction Tuna Kiremitçi - Hayallerin Neydi

Hayallerin Neydi

İstanbul'u severdin erguvan zamanı
Orhan Veli şiirleri gibi şiirler yazardın
Virgülüne dokunmadan hayatının
Giderken ardında hüzünler bıraktın
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Hangisi yarım kaldı?
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Biz sormadık sen anlatmadın
Nedense hiç bahsetmedin çocukluğundan
Fatma Girik'e olan o hayranlığından
Tek dostu yalnızlık olan bir adamdın
Kalbindeki şarkılar kalbinde kaldı
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Hangisi yarım kaldı?
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Biz sormadık sen anlatmadın
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Hangisi yarım kaldı?
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Sormadık anlatmadın
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Hangisi yarım kaldı?
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Biz sormadık sen anlatmadın
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Hangisi yarım kaldı?
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Biz sormadık sen anlatmadın
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Hangisi yarım kaldı?
Hayallerin neydi baba?
Sormadık anlatmadın
Hayallerin neydi baba?

What Were Your Dreams?

You loved Istanbul in the time of purple
You would write poems like Orhan Veli's poems
Without touching the commas of your life
You left sadness behind when you left
What were your dreams, father?
Which one remained unfinished?
What were your dreams, father?
We didn't ask, you didn't tell
Somehow you never talked about your childhood
Your admiration for Fatma Girik
You were a man whose only friend was loneliness
The songs in your heart remained in your heart
What were your dreams, father?
Which one remained unfinished?
What were your dreams, father?
We didn't ask, you didn't tell
What were your dreams, father?
Which one remained unfinished?
What were your dreams, father?
We didn't ask, you didn't tell
What were your dreams, father?
Which one remained unfinished?
What were your dreams, father?
We didn't ask, you didn't tell
What were your dreams, father?
Which one remained unfinished?
What were your dreams, father?
We didn't ask, you didn't tell
What were your dreams, father?
Which one remained unfinished?
What were your dreams, father?
We didn't ask, you didn't tell
What were your dreams, father?
