Olmayınca Olmuyor Lyrics English Translation by Orhan Hakalmaz

Orhan Hakalmaz describes a heart where absence has turned into a barren desert. The narrator confesses that time has lost all meaning and his body has grown weak without his love. The poet makes the central problem clear with the simple, devastating line, ‘It just doesn’t work when you’re not by my side’ (Sen Yanımda Olmayınca Olmuyor).

Sensizlik Çöl Oldu Garip Gönlümde Ellerimde Boşluk Yaşlar Gözümde Yankılanır Sevdan Sesin İçimdeYour absence has become a desert in my lonely heart, leaving empty hands and tears in my eyes, as your loving voice echoes within me.
Sen Yanımda Olmayınca OlmuyorIt just doesn’t work when you’re not by my side.
Değil Aylar Günler Bile GeçmiyorLet alone months, even the days won’t pass by.
Ne Yapsam Da Senin Yerinde OlmuyorNo matter what I do, nothing can ever take your place.
Yıllar Geçti Hiçbir Şey Fark Etmedi Sen Yanımda Olmayınca OlmuyorYears have passed, yet nothing has changed; it just doesn’t work when you’re not by my side.
Sen Yanımda Olmayınca OlmuyorIt just doesn’t work when you’re not by my side.
Adını Anamam Titrer Dudağım Gelir Misin Diye Seste Kulağım Tutmaz Oldu Artık Elim AyağımI can”t say your name, my lips tremble, my ears listen for a sound wondering if you’ll come, and my hands and feet have lost their strength.
Sen Yanımda Olmayınca OlmuyorIt just doesn’t work when you’re not by my side.
