KAMALA Lyrics Translation – Bukatara | Deniz Cem

Cem Karakas opens with questions about a long journey that has ended in weariness. Bukatara enters with a gentle, poetic verse, offering a beautiful image of commitment by saying ‘your voice is like the whisper of the waves’ (Golos Tvoy Kak Shepot Voln). The two performers then ask the same painful questions, creating a loop of doubt and shared heartache.

Sozlerime Inanmadin OysaYou didn’t believe my words, although
Cok Yol Aldik Usanmadanwe’ve traveled so far without ever tiring.
Hala Gunleri Mi Sayiyorsun Sen DeAre you still counting the days too?
Yorgun Bir Ben Mi Kaldim GeriyeAm I the only one left behind, so worn out?
Duyuyor Musun Sen DeCan you hear it too?
Seviyor Musun HalaDo you still love me?
Bunca Yuk KalbindeAll this weight in your heart,
Cok Agir Degil Miisn’t it just too heavy?
Goruyor Musun Sen DeCan you see it too?
Deniyor Musun HalaAre you still trying?
KaybettikleriniEverything that you’ve lost,
Geri Istiyor Musundo you want it back?
Golos Tvoy Kak Shepot VolnYour voice is like the whisper of the waves,
I Dushu Moyu Na Chasti Rvyotand it tears my soul into pieces.
Ya V Tebe Nashla Svoy DomI found my home in you,
V Serdtse Tvoyom Nashla SvoyoI found my place in your heart.
Ty Moya Pervaya LyubovYou’re my first love,
Ty Moya Chistaya Slezayou’re my pure tear.
My Svyazany Na NebesahWe’re bound in the heavens,
Ty Moya Yarkaya Zvezdayou’re my brightest star.
Duyuyor Musun Sen DeCan you hear it too?
Seviyor Musun HalaDo you still love me?
Bunca Yuk KalbindeAll this weight in your heart,
Cok Agir Degil Miisn’t it just too heavy?
Goruyor Musun Sen DeCan you see it too?
Deniyor Musun HalaAre you still trying?
KaybettikleriniEverything that you’ve lost,
Geri Istiyor Musundo you want it back?
