Gönül Çiçekleri Lyrics English Translation by Nazan Öncel
It’s not a heart, it’s a tree of sorrow
Every day another branch breaks off
Its winter never ends, neither does its frost
Why did all the rains fall on me
You were the only one who walked through my door
One day like a friend, one day like an enemy
Today I’m like an abandoned house
You broke me, shattered me, tore me down
I loved you saying “my rose” over and over
While crying, I smiled like I was happy
Saying “today, tomorrow,” the years went by
The flowers of the heart have withered
One day I’ll make a vow
Once I leave, I’ll be gone for good
Saying “hold on” over and over, a lifetime passed
The flowers of patience have withered
I planted love, I reaped tears
I endured rains and winds alike
Like autumn leaves in the fall
I was swept away but never bowed down
You were the only one who walked through my door
One day like a friend, one day like an enemy
Today I’m like an abandoned house
You broke me, shattered me, tore me down
I loved you saying “my rose” over and over
While crying, I smiled like I was happy
Saying “today, tomorrow,” the years went by
The flowers of patience have withered
One day I’ll make a vow
Once I leave, I’ll be gone for good
Saying “hold on” over and over, a lifetime passed
The flowers of patience have withered
