Yalancı Şahidim Lyrics English Translation by Edis | Egemen Akkol
The lyrics writer uses the moon as a false witness to a secret longing. One line translates to, ‘This body craves you every single night.’ The author mentions a sea’s shimmering glow, creating a scene of quiet desperation.
Yalan, yalan gözlerimdeki inanBelieve the lies in my eyes, they’re all lies.
Beni senden ayırır bu yürekThis heart of mine is separating me from you,
Ben aşkı gizlediğim gibi sendenjust as I’ve kept my love hidden from you.
Bir an dalıp kendimi unutupLost in a moment, forgetting who I am,
Gün gibi anılarla avunupfinding comfort in memories as clear as day.
Biraz daha kopuyorum sendenI’m breaking away from you, little by little.
Durup düşünmek yetmiyor artıkSimply stopping to think isn’t enough anymore.
Seni istiyor her gece bu bedenThis body craves you every single night.
Kaçıp gitsek çok uzaklaraIf only we could escape to far-off lands,
Sen ve benjust you and I.
Yalancı şahidimdir ay benimThe moon is my false witness.
Her gece denize vurur yakamozEvery night, the ‘sea’s shimmering glow’ reflects on the water.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Varsın olmasınthen let it never be.
Yalancı şahidimdir ay benimThe moon is my false witness.
Her gece denize vurur yakamozEvery night, the ‘sea’s shimmering glow’ reflects on the water.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Varsın olmasınthen let it never be.
Yalan değil sözlerimdeki inanBelieve me, there is no lie in my words.
Eli mahkûm susuyor bu yürekThis heart is forced into a helpless silence.
Ben ahımı çekiyorum derindenI’m sighing with a deep, heavy grief.
Bir an kızıp her şeye küsüyorGetting angry for a moment and resenting everything,
Alıp kendimi yollara vuruyorI’m taking off and hitting the open road.
Biraz daha soğuyorum sendenI’m growing even colder toward you.
Durup düşünmek yetmiyor artıkSimply stopping to think isn’t enough anymore.
Seni istiyor her gece bu bedenThis body craves you every single night.
Kaçıp gitsek çok uzaklaraIf only we could escape to far-off lands,
Sen ve benjust you and I.
Yalancı şahidimdir ay benimThe moon is my false witness.
Her gece denize vurur yakamozEvery night, the ‘sea’s shimmering glow’ reflects on the water.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Varsın olmasınthen let it never be.
Yalancı şahidimdir ay benimThe moon is my false witness.
Her gece denize vurur yakamozEvery night, the ‘sea’s shimmering glow’ reflects on the water.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Varsın olmasınThen let it never be.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Varsın olmasınthen let it never be.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Varsın olmasınthen let it never be.
Ben aşkı senle yaşayamazsamIf I can’t experience this love with you,
Durup düşünmek yetmiyor artıkSimply stopping to think isn’t enough anymore.
Seni istiyor her gece bu bedenThis body craves you every single night.
