Beni Yok Say Lyrics Translation – Kahraman Deniz

Kahraman Deniz starts by questioning his former lover’s new life before detailing his own struggle. The songwriter marks the exact time since their separation with painful precision, noting it has been ‘Five years, eight months, exactly twenty-four days’ (beş yıl, sekiz ay, tam yirmi dört gün). He describes a constant battle between his mind saying he has moved on and his heart refusing to listen to reason.

kime güldün, nasıl eğlendin?Who did you smile at, how did you have fun?
nerede durup da nefeslendin?Where did you stop to catch your breath?
son durağını kaybettin, çok üzdünYou lost your final destination, you caused so much pain.
bana ne ki ilk gördüğüm andan?What do I care about the moment I first saw you?
hemen unuturum, ah, ne zaman geçmiş!I’ll forget it right away, ah, how time has passed!
beş yıl, sekiz ay, tam yirmi dört günFive years, eight months, exactly twenty-four days.
“beni yok say!” dedin, yok saymadımYou told me, “Ignore me!” I didn’t ignore you,
ama affettimbut I forgave you.
yokluğundan ölsem ne olur, orada-burada?What if I die from your absence, wandering here and there?
bebeğim, ben kaybettimMy baby, I have lost.
döndüm aslıma, yaslandım kendimeI returned to my essence, I leaned on myself.
ne yaparsan yap banaDo whatever you want to me.
seni unuttum sevgilimI have forgotten you, my darling.
geldin aklıma; bir dert, bin endişeYou crossed my mind; one sorrow, a thousand worries.
ne yaparsan yap banaDo whatever you want to me.
seni bıraktım sevgilimI have let you go, my darling.
birden bu yana bir ses geldiSuddenly, a voice called out to me,
ama bilmem ki gönlüm duymak istedi mi?but I don’t know if my heart wanted to listen?
dedi ki bana: “ne uçurumlara düşeceksin,It warned me: “What deep cliffs you’ll fall into,
o yâr değil!”they aren’t your true love!”
dinler miyim öğüt, sensizlikten yokum!Would I listen to advice? I’m fading without you!
varsam bile bu yanıma kâr değilEven if I exist, it brings me no peace.
döndüm aslıma, yaslandım kendimeI returned to my essence, I leaned on myself.
ne yaparsan yap banaDo whatever you want to me.
seni unuttum sevgilimI have forgotten you, my darling.
geldin aklıma; bir dert, bin endişeYou crossed my mind; one sorrow, a thousand worries.
ne yaparsan yap banaDo whatever you want to me.
seni bıraktım sevgilimI have let you go, my darling.
