Ne Olurdu Sanki (Feridun Hürel Albüm II) Lyrics English Translation by Maya Perest

Feridun Hürel opens with delicate memories of a perfect love. The poet describes a partner who was a beautiful fragrance and a gentle breeze, painting a picture of springtime affection. Maya Perest sings about how this longing has broken her spirit, wondering ‘What would it have been like, if you’d just stayed that way?’ (Ne olurdu sanki, öyle kalsaydın) as she recalls days that grew dark without her love.

Güzel bir kokuydun, tatlı bir rüzgarYou were a beautiful fragrance, a gentle breeze,
Küçücük bir çiçek, taptaze bahara tiny flower, and the freshness of spring.
Yani benim her şeyimYou were my everything,
Yani benim her şeyim, aşkım, adamımdınyou were my whole world, my love, and my man.
Ne olurdu sanki, öyle kalsaydınWhat would it have been like, if you’d just stayed that way?
Zaten bu hasretlik belimi bükmüşThis longing has already broken my spirit,
Günlerim karanlık, dertler çoğalmışmy days are dark, and my troubles have grown.
Bir yandan kaderimOn one side, fate,
Bir yandan kaderim, çok kötü vurmuşfate has dealt me a heavy blow,
Ne olurdu bir de, sen vurmasaydınso why did you have to hurt me too?
Bir seni severdim, sen de bilirsinYou know I only ever loved you,
Ben yalnız ağlarken, senle gülerdimI’d laugh with you, even when I was crying alone.
Yaşadım saymazdımI didn’t feel alive,
Yaşadım saymazdım, sensiz günleri, ofI didn’t count the days without you as living at all, oh.
Ne olurdu sanki, yanımda olsaydınWhat would it have been like, if you were still by my side?
