Dertliler Meyhanesi Lyrics Translation – Serkan Kaya
Hakki Yalçin describes a tavern that serves as a refuge for everyone nursing a broken heart. A delicate ‘saz’ lute takes the lead, sorrow is love’s appetizer (Alır sözü bir ince saz efkâr aşkın mezesi). He notes that every melody contains a hidden tear, and the bill for this comfort is charged to an entire lifetime.
Efkârlı bir şarkıda kalacak yer aradıkWe’ve searched for a place to stay within a melancholy song.
Hepimizin adresi kara sevda caddesiEvery one of us lives on the street of dark love.
Gidenlerin yerine kimseleri koymadıkWe haven’t replaced those who’ve left us.
Derdimizin çaresi dertliler meyhanesiThe tavern of the troubled is the only cure for our pain.
Ah sabaha kadar açıkAh, it’s open until the break of dawn.
Bizdeki bu yaralarThese wounds we carry deep inside.
Alır sözü bir ince saz efkâr aşkın mezesiA delicate ‘saz’ lute takes the lead; sorrow is love’s appetizer.
Her nağmenin içinde bir göz yaşı tanesiEvery melody holds a single teardrop within.
Kimi özler kimi kızar uzundur hikayesiSome miss them, some are angry—it’s a long story.
Hesabı ömre yazar dertliler meyhanesiThe tavern of the troubled charges the bill to a lifetime.
Alır sözü bir ince saz efkâr aşkın mezesiA delicate ‘saz’ lute takes the lead; sorrow is love’s appetizer.
Her nağmenin içinde bir göz yaşı tanesiEvery melody holds a single teardrop within.
Kimi özler kimi kızar uzundur hikayesiSome miss them, some are angry—it’s a long story.
