Bu Tepe Pullu Tepe Lyrics English Translation by Oğuz Aksaç

The lyrics describe a lover’s search and devotion, with lines like ‘I’ll have my gold coins melted down, so I can string a necklace for your throat.’ The wordsmith uses simple yet touching imagery, such as a silk handkerchief, to express deep affection. The narrator’s longing is clear in every verse, repeating the question, ‘Where is my love from long ago?’

Bu Tepe Pullu Tepe Nenni De Yârim NenniThis hill’s a shimmering hilltop, oh my darling, my dear.
Su Gelir Sere Serpe Eski De Yârim HaniThe water comes and scatters wide, where is my love from long ago?
Gittim Ki Yâr Uyumuş Nenni De Yârim NenniI went to find my love had fallen asleep, oh my darling, my dear.
Uyardım Öpe Öpe Eski De Yârim HaniI woke them gently with kiss after kiss, where is my love from long ago?
Gittim Ki Yâr Uyumuş Nenni De Yârim NenniI found my beloved was sleeping there, oh my darling, my dear.
Uyardım Öpe Öpe Eski De Yârim HaniAnd woke them with so many kisses, where is my love from long ago?
Altını Bozdurayım Nenni De Yârim NenniI’ll have my gold coins melted down, oh my darling, my dear,
Gerdana Dizdireyim Eski De Yârim HaniSo I can string a necklace for your throat, where is my love from long ago?
İpek Mendil Değilsen Nenni De Yârim NenniIf only you were a silk handkerchief, oh my darling, my dear,
Cebimde Gezdireyim Eski De Yârim HaniI’d carry you right in my pocket, where is my love from long ago?
İpek Mendil Değilsen Nenni De Yârim NenniYou aren’t just a silk handkerchief, oh my darling, my dear,
Cebimde Gezdireyim Eski De Yârim HaniThat I could carry in my pocket, where is my love from long ago?
