Paroles et traduction Zeynep Baksı Karatağ - Sen Bir Ceylan Olsan

Sen Bir Ceylan Olsan

Sen bir ceylan olsan
Ben de bir avcı
Avlasam çöllerde
Saz ile seni
Bulunmaz dermanı
Yoktur ilacı
Vursam yaralasam
Söz ile seni
Diley diley diley
Söz ile seni
Kurulma sevdiğim güzelim deyi
Bağlanma karayı alları geyi
Ben bir çoban olsam
Sen de koyun
Beslesem elle
Tuz ile seni

If You Were a Gazelle

If you were a gazelle
And I, a hunter bold,
I'd chase you through the desert,
With a snare of reeds, I'd hold.
No cure can be found,
No medicine to mend,
If I were to wound you,
With words, my love, I'd send.
Again and again I'd plead,
With words, my love, I'd feed.
Don't settle, my love, for fleeting charms, they say,
Don't be swayed by darkness, dressed in bright array.
If I were a shepherd,
And you, a sheep so white,
I'd tend to you with care,
And salt, your appetite.
