Mest Oldum (Selami Şahin Şarkıları 3) Lyrics Translation – Lider Şahin

Ahmet Duyar tells the story of a man completely captivated by a beautiful woman. The narrator describes following her as if under a spell, mesmerized by every detail from her walk to the rose in her hair. He admits ‘a stunning beauty passed me by, and I was spellbound’ (Önümden bir afet geçti, mest oldum), showing how instantly he falls under her charm.

Dalgın dalgın bakıyorken yollaraAs I was staring blankly at the roads,
Önümden bir afet geçti, mest olduma stunning beauty passed me by, and I was spellbound.
Böyle güzel nasip olmaz her kulaSuch beauty isn’t a blessing granted to everyone,
Yürüyüşü, edasına mest oldumI was enchanted by her walk and her grace.
Mest oldum, mest oldum amanI’m spellbound, oh, I’m truly spellbound.
Büyülenmiş gibi düştüm peşineI followed her as if I’d been cursed by a spell,
Saçına gül takışına mest oldumI was captivated by the way she wore a rose in her hair.
Yetiştim de geçtim baktım yüzüneI caught up and passed her just to see her face,
Baygın baygın bakışına mest oldumI was mesmerized by her dreamy, languid gaze.
Mest oldum, mest oldum amanI’m spellbound, oh, I’m truly spellbound.
Sanki birden bir şey oldu dilimeIt’s like something suddenly happened to my tongue,
Söylemeye bulamadım kelimeand I couldn’t find a single word to say.
Gülümsedi, güldü geçti halimeShe just smiled and laughed at the state I was in,
Su misali akışına mest oldumI was enchanted by the way she flowed by like water.
Mest oldum, mest oldum amanI’m spellbound, oh, I’m truly spellbound.
