Текст и перевод песни Cem Karaca - Karacaoğlan

Karacaoğlan

Şu yalan dünyaya geldim geleli
Tas tas içtim ağuları, sağ iken
Kahpe felek vermez benim muradım
Viran oldum, mor sümbüllü bağ iken

Aradılar, bir tenhada buldular
Yaslandılar, sıvgalarım kırdılar
Yaz bahar ayında bir od verdiler
Yandım gittim, ala karlı dağ iken

Farımaz da deli gönül farımaz
Akar gözlerimin yaşı kurumaz
Şimden kelli benim hükmüm yürümez
Azil oldum, güzellere bey iken

Karac'oğlan der ki, bakın geline
Ömrümün yarısı gitti talana
Sual eylen bizden evvel gelene
Kim var imiş, biz burada var iken

Karac'oğlan Karac'oğlan oy
Bana benden yakın
Bana benden özge
Yine ben Karac'oğlan

Farımaz da deli gönül farımaz
Akar gözlerimin yaşı kurumaz
Şimden kelli benim hükmüm yürümez
Azil oldum, güzellere bey iken

Karac'oğlan der ki, bakın geline
Ömrümün yarısı gitti talana
Sual eylen bizden evvel gelene
Kim var imiş, biz burada var iken
Kim var imiş, biz burada var iken
Kim var imiş, kim var imiş biz burada var iken

Karacaoğlan (Blackheart Boy)

Since I came to this false world, my love,
I've drunk sorrows, cup by cup, while still alive,
Cruel fate won't grant my desires, my dear,
I'm ruined, though once a garden of hyacinths so rare.

They searched for me, found me in solitude's embrace,
They leaned on me, my darling, broke my fragile vase,
They gave me a room in the spring, my sweet,
I burned away, though once a mountain capped with snow and sleet.

This crazy heart doesn't care, it just doesn't see,
The tears from my eyes, my love, they just won't cease to be,
From now on, my reign is over, my decree won't stand,
I'm dismissed, though once a lord to beauties, hand in hand.

Karacaoğlan says, look at my bride-to-be,
Half of my life is plundered, lost you see,
Ask those who came before us, my beauty,
Who was here before us, while we still be?

Karacaoğlan, Karacaoğlan, oh my dear,
Closer to me than myself, so near,
More precious than myself, my love, so clear,
I am still Karacaoğlan, have no fear.

This crazy heart doesn't care, it just doesn't see,
The tears from my eyes, my love, they just won't cease to be,
From now on, my reign is over, my decree won't stand,
I'm dismissed, though once a lord to beauties, hand in hand.

Karacaoğlan says, look at my bride-to-be,
Half of my life is plundered, lost you see,
Ask those who came before us, my beauty,
Who was here before us, while we still be?
Who was here before us, while we still be?
Who was here, who was here, while we still be?
