Gurbet Lyrics English Translation by Faruk Sabancı | Sena Şener

The poet Özdemir Erdoğan asks the clouds, ‘Who should I tell my troubles to?’ as he describes the heartbreak of being far from home. Faruk Sabancı’s voice carries the weight of this exile, while Sena Şener’s harmonies add a layer of hope, asking for news of a distant love.

Kime desem derdimi ben, bulutlar?Who should I tell my troubles to, O clouds?

Bizi dost bildiklerimiz vurdularThe ones we called friends are the ones who struck us down

Bir de gurbet yarası var, hepsinden derinThen there’s the wound of exile, deeper than any other,

Söyleyin, memleketten bir haber mi var?Tell me, is there any word from my homeland?

Yoksa yârin göz yaşları mı bu yağmurlar?Or is this rain just the tears of my beloved?

İçerim yanıyor, yâr yâr, yaram pek derinMy heart’s on fire, my love, and my wound is so deep

Bana nazlı yârdan, aman, bir haber verinPlease, give me some news of my tender darling

İçerim yanıyor, yâr yâr, yaram pek derinMy soul’s ablaze, my love, my wound is just too deep

Bana nazlı yârdan, aman, bir haber verinI beg you, bring me some word of my bashful love

Bulutlar yârime selam söyleyinO clouds, carry my greetings to my darling,

“Buluşma gününüz yakınmış” deyinTell her, ‘The day you’ll meet again is near.’

Felek yârdan ırak koyduysa biziIf fate has cast us far from my darling,

Gurbet ilde bir başıma neyleyim?What am I to do all alone in this land of exile?

Yârdan ırak yaşanır mı söyleyinTell me, can one even live so far from their love?

İçerim yanıyor, yâr yâr, yaram pek derinMy heart’s on fire, my love, and my wound is so deep

Bana nazlı yârdan, aman, bir haber verinPlease, give me some news of my tender darling

İçerim yanıyor, yâr yâr, yaram pek derinMy soul’s ablaze, my love, my wound is just too deep

Bana nazlı yârdan, aman, bir haber verinI beg you, bring me some word of my bashful love
