Sevdim Sevdim Lyrics English Translation by Hakan Altun

He describes a love so intense it blinded him, and he admits ‘I loved you more than I loved myself’ (Kendimden çok sevmiştim), highlighting his own misplaced priorities. The performer then details the devastating moment he witnessed his partner’s betrayal.
Sevdim, sevdimI loved you, I loved you,
Kendimden çok sevmiştimI loved you more than I loved myself.
Yandım, yandımI burned, I burned,
Yok aşkınla yanmıştımI was consumed by a love that wasn’t even there.
Kördüm ama gördümI was blind, but then I saw,
Aşka ihanetiniyour betrayal of our love.
Gözlerimle gördüm benI saw it with my own eyes,
Görmez olaydımhow I wish I’d never seen it.
Nasıl bir duyguymuş buWhat kind of feeling was this?
Perde inmiş gözümeA heavy veil had fallen over my eyes.
Yalancı bir sevdaylaWith a love that was nothing but a lie,
Kurşun sıktım gönlümeI dealt a fatal blow to my own heart.
Nasıl bir duyguymuş buWhat kind of feeling was this?
Perde inmiş gözümeA heavy veil had fallen over my eyes.
Yalancı bir sevdaylaWith a love that was nothing but a lie,
Kurşun sıktım gönlümeI dealt a fatal blow to my own heart.
Aldatıldım, kandırıldımI was deceived, I was fooled,
Aşkın canı sağ olsunbut I accept the bitter truth of this love.
Bir daha seversemIf I ever fall in love again,
Gönlüm kör olsunmay my heart go completely blind.
Sevdim, sevdimI loved you, I loved you,
Kendimden çok sevmiştimI loved you more than I loved myself.
Yandım, yandımI burned, I burned,
Yok aşkınla yanmıştımI was consumed by a love that wasn’t even there.
Kördüm ama gördümI was blind, but then I saw,
Aşka ihanetiniyour betrayal of our love.
Gözlerimle gördüm benI saw it with my own eyes,
Görmez olaydımhow I wish I’d never seen it.
Sevdim, sevdimI loved you, I loved you,
Kendimden çok sevmiştimI loved you more than I loved myself.
Yandım, yandımI burned, I burned,
Yok aşkınla yanmıştımI was consumed by a love that wasn’t even there.
Kördüm ama gördümI was blind, but then I saw,
Aşka ihanetiniyour betrayal of our love.
O rezil hâllerinithose shameful moments of yours,
Görmez olaydımhow I wish I’d never seen them.
Nasıl bir duyguymuş buWhat kind of feeling was this?
Perde inmiş gözümeA heavy veil had fallen over my eyes.
Yalancı bir sevdaylaWith a love that was nothing but a lie,
Kurşun sıktım gönlümeI dealt a fatal blow to my own heart.
Aldatıldım, kandırıldımI’ve been cheated on, I’ve been deceived.
Aşkın canı sağ olsunI guess that’s just the bitter price of love.
Bir daha seversemIf I ever fall in love again,
Gönlüm kör olsunmay my heart go completely blind.
Sevdim, sevdimI loved you, I loved you.
Kendimden çok sevmiştimI loved you more than I loved myself.
Yandım, yandımI burned in agony, I burned.

Kördüm ama gördümI was blind, but then I witnessed
Aşka ihanetiniyour cruel betrayal of our love.
O rezil hâlleriniI saw those disgraceful moments of yours.
Görmez olaydımI wish I had never seen any of it.
Sevdim, sevdimI loved you, I loved you.
Yandım, yandımI burned in agony, I burned.
Kördüm ama gördümI was blind, but then I witnessed
Aşka ihanetiniyour cruel betrayal of our love.
Gözlerimle gördüm benI saw it happen with my own two eyes.
Görmez olaydımI wish I had never seen any of it.
