ELBET (Kri̇Mata) Lyrics English Translation by Yüksel Baltacı
The poet mentions mountains and scars to describe a heart weighed down by sorrow. ‘Surely the sun will rise again,’ he sings, offering a glimmer of hope amid the pain. The words paint a clear picture of someone searching for solace in a world that feels too heavy.
Kalkti Goc Eyledi Hep Sevduklerum Ben NeyleyimAll my loved ones have packed up and moved away, so what am I to do?
Kaldum Bak Yanluz Basina Kaderum BuLook, I’m left all on my own; this is just my fate.
Simdi Koysaidum Basumi DizleruneIf only I could lay my head on your knees right now.
Neylersun Ki Yoksun Kaldum Bak CaresuzBut you’re gone, and there’s nothing I can do; look, I’m left helpless.
Simdi Koysaidum Basumi DizleruneIf I could only rest my head upon your lap this moment.
Neylersun Ki Yoksun Kaldum Bak CaresuzBut since you’re gone, what can be done? I’m left without a way out.
Elbet Gene Dogar GunesSurely the sun will rise again,
Yuksek Daglarun Arkasindanfrom behind those high mountains.
Gelgor Gonlum KarardiCome and see how my heart has grown dark,
Yaralar Almis Her Yanindanwounded and scarred on every side.
Elbet Gene Dogar GunesSurely the sun will rise again,
Yuksek Daglarun Arkasindanfrom behind those high mountains.
Gelgor Gonlum KarardiCome and see how my heart has grown dark,
Yaralar Almis Her Yanindanwounded and scarred on every side.
Cok Masallar Duydum Hep Aklumda Durur Bende YeriI’ve heard many folk tales that stay in my mind; they have a special place in me.
Cok Geceler Yanluz Daldum RuyalaraSo many nights, I’ve drifted into dreams all alone.
Oyle Dertler Varki Bende Dert HarmaniI’ve got so many troubles, a ‘harvest’ of pure sorrow.
Oturur Aglarum Yok Midur DermaniI just sit and cry; isn’t there any cure for this?
Oyle Dertler Varki Bende Dert HarmaniI’m carrying such heavy burdens, a pile of endless grief.
Oturur Aglarum Yok Midur DermaniI sit here weeping; is there no remedy to be found?
Elbet Gene Dogar GunesSurely the sun will rise again,
Yuksek Daglarun Arkasindanfrom behind those high mountains.
Gelgor Gonlum KarardiCome and see how my heart has grown dark,
Yaralar Almis Her Yanindanwounded and scarred on every side.
Elbet Gene Dogar GunesSurely the sun will rise again,
Yuksek Daglarun Arkasindanfrom behind those high mountains.
Gelgor Gonlum KarardiCome and see how my heart has grown dark,
Yaralar Almis Her Yanindanwounded and scarred on every side.
Elbet Gene Dogar GunesSurely the sun will rise again,
Yuksek Daglarun Arkasindanfrom behind those high mountains.
Gelgor Gonlum KarardiCome and see how my heart has grown dark,
Yaralar Almis Her Yanindanwounded and scarred on every side.
Elbet Gene Dogar GunesSurely the sun will rise again,
Yuksek Daglarun Arkasindanfrom behind those high mountains.
Gelgor Gonlum KarardiCome and see how my heart has grown dark,
Yaralar Almis Her Yanindanwounded and scarred on every side.
