Mihrabım Diyerek - Zeki Müren traduction en anglais

Mihrabım Diyerek

Mihrabım diyerek sana yüz vurdum
Gönlümün dalında bir yuva kurdum
Mihrabım diyerek sana yüz vurdum
Gönlümün dalında bir yuva kurdum

Yıllardan beridir yalvarıp durdum
Sevgilim demeyi öğretemedim
Yıllardan beridir yalvarıp durdum
Sevgilim demeyi öğretemedim

Gönlünde sevgime yer vermedinde
Yaban güllerini hep derledinde
Gönlünde sevgime yer vermedinde
Yaban güllerini hep derledinde

Ellerin ismini ezberledinde
Bir benim adımı öğretemedim
Sonunda hicranı öğrettin bana
Ben sana sevmeyi öğretemedim

My Sanctuary

Calling you my sanctuary, I turned to you
On the branch of my heart, I built a nest for two
Calling you my sanctuary, I turned to you
On the branch of my heart, I built a nest for two

For years, I've pleaded and prayed
I couldn't teach you to call me your beloved
For years, I've pleaded and prayed
I couldn't teach you to call me your beloved

You didn't give my love a place in your heart
You always gathered wild roses apart
You didn't give my love a place in your heart
You always gathered wild roses apart

Your hands memorized their names so well
But you never learned mine, I couldn't tell
In the end, you taught me the meaning of heartbreak's sting
While I couldn't teach you how to love anything
