Akşam Olur Karanlığa Kalırsın Lyrics English Translation by Ender Balkır
Evening comes and you’re left in the dark
You fall deep into longing
Oh bride, bride, sweetheart bride, you killed me
You leave me and go off to strange lands
Isn’t it cruelty for you and death for me
Oh bride, bride, sweetheart bride, you killed me
Nightingale, why do you sing, don’t you have a nest
Or is your love as great as mine
Oh bride, bride, sweetheart bride, you killed me
If I had a gold necklace made for my love’s neck
By God, beauties have many enemies
Oh bride, bride, sweetheart bride, you killed me
Her room’s turned to dust, her closet to smoke
Wake up, my coal-eyed one, wake up from sleep
Oh bride, bride, sweetheart bride, you killed me
When your hands touch mine
Whether it’s death or separation
Oh bride, bride, sweetheart bride, you killed me
