Acı Verir Zaman Lyrics English Translation by Evrencan Gündüz
Kenan Evrencan Gündüz tells the story of a love he cannot unlearn, even as his patience and inner peace disappear. He mixes tender snapshots of warm nights with a chorus that makes its pain plain, describing how ‘Time only brings pain, because it reminds me of you’ (Acı verir zaman, seni hatırlatır). The poet admits the romance is unfinished, leaving him with only a collection of tiny memories.
Bir kere sevmiş seni gönlümMy heart’s loved you once before.
Ne desem boş, senle ben uslanmazWhatever I say is in vain, as you and I just won’t learn.
Bu kararsızlık ve sebepsiz korkularWith all this indecision and these groundless fears,
Alışmak çok güç, sensiz zor yıllarit’s so hard to adjust to these difficult years without you.
Acı verir zaman, seni hatırlatırTime only brings pain, because it reminds me of you.
Soran olursa aşk içimde yarım kaldıIf anyone asks, tell ’em our love’s still unfinished inside me.
Yitiverir ama sırrı bende saklıIt starts to fade away, but I’ve kept its secret hidden.
Sana benden kalanAll that’s left for you from me,
Ufacık anılar varare these tiny little memories.
Sıcacık anılar vardıThere were such warm memories.
Adım adım eksildi sabrımStep by step, my patience started to wither away.
Toleransım ve sakin hâllerimSo did my tolerance and my peaceful ways.
Nerde benim bitmez şu Evren’imWhere is my endless universe,
Su gibi dans eden o hâllerimand those moments when I’d dance like water?
Acı verir zaman, seni hatırlatırTime only brings pain, because it reminds me of you.
Soran olursa aşk içimde yarım kaldıIf anyone asks, tell ’em our love’s still unfinished inside me.
Yitiverir ama sırrı bende saklıIt starts to fade away, but I’ve kept its secret hidden.
Sana benden kalan ufacık anılar varAll that’s left for you from me are these tiny little memories.
Sayfalarca resimler, tutkulu gecelerThere are pages of pictures and nights filled with passion.
İçimi ısıtan baharım yarım kaldıThe spring that warmed my soul’s been cut short.
Acı verir zaman, seni hatırlatırTime only brings pain, because it reminds me of you.
Soran olursa aşk içimde yarım kaldıIf anyone asks, tell ’em our love’s still unfinished inside me.
Sıcacık anılar vardıThere were such warm memories.
