Ben Zeki Müren [English translation]

I have a world/life full of love

I am surrounded by people

What is the use of material stuff

I live with my friendships

In poems, in novels

In times that have arrived and passed

In the tambours, in the violins

I live with(in) songs

Embroideries of love

Happy and unhappy looks

Flowing from heart to heart

I live with(in) the applause

I have loved to once

I have thousands of memories inside of me

But everybody lives their own life

I live with the memories

Not in villas nor in castles

Not in the World nor on the moon

Where I belong to is very far away

I live with/in prays

The one who spreads emotions/feelings to songs

the one who faces/survives skein

the one who enters in suffering heart

That is me, Zeki Müren

More desolated than the most desolated (one); I am desolated

More lonely than the most lonely (one); I am lonely

More plaintive than the most plaintive (one); I am plaintive

The love of the lovers; I am in love

My name is Mesut (happy) my middle name is Bahtiyar (joyful)

That is how you knew me for years

You have listened to songs from Mesut Bahtiyar
