Текст и перевод песни Zeki Müren - Dost Bildiklerim

Dost Bildiklerim

Sanırdım gündüzdü onlarla gecem
İçimde ümitti dost bildiklerim
Ne zaman yıkılıp yere düştüysem
Bırakıp da gitti dost bildiklerim

Nerde o sözlere kandığım günler
Her gülen yüzü dost sandığım günler
Acıdan kahrolup yandığım günler
Terk edip de gitti dost bildiklerim

Korkar oldum bana dostum diyenden
Varsa var olandan, yoksa gidenden
Ne onlardan eser kaldı, ne benden
Beni benden çaldı, dost bildiklerim

Aydınlanmaz oldu artık geceler
Yalanlar tükendi, düştü maskeler
Beni benden etti dost bildiklerim

The Ones I Thought Were Friends

I thought my nights were days with them around,
Hope filled my heart, these friends I'd found.
But whenever I stumbled and fell to the ground,
They left me there, these friends renowned.

Where are those days when I believed their lies,
When every smiling face I took as an ally's guise?
Those days of pain, when I cried and my spirit dies,
They abandoned me then, these friends under different skies.

I've grown afraid of those who call me "friend",
Those who are there when they have something to gain, then transcend.
No trace remains of them, nor me, as if our stories end,
They stole me from myself, these friends I thought would mend.

My nights are dark now, they offer no light,
Lies have run dry, the masks took flight.
They turned me into something I didn't invite, these friends of the night.
