Paroles et traduction Zeynep Baksi Karatağ - Gam Çekme Haline

Gam Çekme Haline

Gam çekme haline divane gönül
Sana da bulunur, elde neler var!
Ayva mı, turunç mu, nar mı istersin?
Sun elini beri, dalda neler var!
Bunu ben demedim; aşıklar diyen
Yaralı sineme hançerler koyan
Bilmem boz geyiktir, bilmem ak ceylan
Yüce yüce sarp kayada neler var!
Karacaoğlan der ki, yaralı sinem
Elimden aldırdım gül yüzlü sunam
Kimi cennet ister, kimi cehennem
Cennetten beride yolda neler var!

Taking on Sorrow

Oh my heart, so prone to sorrow's embrace,
Treasures abound, waiting for your chase!
Quince, tangerine, pomegranate, your desire?
Reach out your hand, the branches hold fire!
Not my words, but those of lovers' plight,
Piercing my wounded soul with daggers bright.
Is it a dappled deer or a gazelle so fair?
On towering cliffs, what wonders fill the air!
Karacaoğlan speaks, with a heart in pain,
My rose-faced love, from my grasp has flown in vain.
Some seek heaven's gate, others hell's embrace,
But what treasures lie beyond that sacred space!
