Текст и перевод песни Zeki Müren - Mihrabım Diyerek

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 vermedin de
Yaban güllerini hep derledin de
Gönlünde sevgime yer vermedin de
Yaban güllerini hep derledin de

Ellerin ismini ezberledin de
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 pleaded and prayed,
I couldn't teach you to call me "my beloved".
For years I pleaded and prayed,
I couldn't teach you to call me "my beloved".

You didn't give my love a place in your heart,
You only gathered wild roses, kept us apart.
You didn't give my love a place in your heart,
You only gathered wild roses, kept us apart.

You memorized other names with such ease,
But you couldn't learn to say mine, if you please.
In the end, you taught me the meaning of heartbreak's sting,
While I couldn't teach you how to love, anything.
