Lele Canım (Selami Şahin Şarkıları 3) Lyrics Translation – Burak Akagün

Selami Şahin creates a narrator who trusted a woman he saw as perfect. The songwriter notes how ‘she was a devil, I thought she was an angel’ (Bir şeytanmış, onu melek sandım), describing a painful realization after falling for her beautiful eyes and sweet words. The performer explains that instead of happiness, his tears have become overwhelming floods of sorrow.

Bir şeytanmış, onu melek sandımShe was a devil, I thought she was an angel.
Gözlerine, sözlerine kandımI fell for her eyes and her promises.
Bir gün beni güldürecek sandımI thought she’d make me smile one day.
Gözümden yaşlar döndü sellereInstead, my tears have turned into floods.
Lele le canım, lele le gülüm leleOh my darling, oh my rose,
Düşürdü aşkı beni dillereher love has made me the talk of the town.
Lele le canım, lele le gülüm leleOh my darling, oh my rose,
Aşkımı destan etti dillereshe made my love a legend on everyone’s lips.
Ceylanlara benziyor gözleriHer eyes look like a gazelle’s.
Baldan daha tatlıdır sözleriHer words are sweeter than honey.
Dünyada yoktur hiç eşi benzeriThere’s no one else like her in the world.
Ölürüm, vermem onu ellereI’d die before giving her to strangers.
