Ah Canım Vah Canım Lyrics English Translation by Bayhan

Ahmet Akkaya asks deep questions about living in a world overtaken by materialism. He expresses concern about societal apathy and the human tendency to surrender to it. The poet delivers the core message by telling his listener ‘don’t let your sweet heart be saddened’ (Üzme tatlı canını), assuring that healing is possible through shared reflection.

Böylesine suskun, böylesine puskunBeing so silent, so completely subdued,
Olur mu bu devirde diye kendinehave you asked yourself if this is how to live in this era,
Bir gün olsun hiç sordun mu?even for a single day?
Öylesine mahzun, öylesine masumBeing so sorrowful, so perfectly innocent,
Niye böyle doğmuşum diye gelecekten hiç korkulur mu?should you fear the future, wondering why you were born this way?
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Geçer bu yara ancakThis wound will only heal,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Biter bu dava ancakThis struggle will only end,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
Biliyoruz, maddiyatWe know that materialism,
Görüyoruz başını almışwe can see it has completely taken over.
İnsan denen insanoğluThese beings we call humankind,
Uykuya dalarsa başını yakarmışwill bring ruin upon themselves if they surrender to apathy.
Dönüyoruz hep beraberWe are all spinning together,
Dönüyoruz aynı yönewe are spinning in the exact same direction.
Doğası bu, kanunu şuSaying ‘this is its nature, this is the law,’
Diye duraklamak sence olur mu?do you really think it’s right to just stand still?
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Geçer bu yara ancakThis wound will only heal,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Biter bu dava ancakThis struggle will only end,
Düşünürsek canım, ahif we reflect on it together, my dear, oh.
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Geçer bu yara ancakThis wound will only heal,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Biter bu dava ancakThis struggle will only end,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Geçer bu yara ancakThis wound will only heal,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
Ah canım, vah canımOh my dear, oh my precious soul,
Üzme tatlı canınıdon’t let your sweet heart be saddened.
Biter bu dava ancakThis struggle will only end,
Düşünürsek canımif we reflect on it together, my dear.
