Doğan bir pişman [English translation]

Those that are born are sorry to be, those that are not even more so

It's as if I've been enemies with fate since the day I was born

Everyone has a heart longing for love

There are twice as many people that don't love as the ones that do

My God, what kind of love is this that it is killing me

She was never happy but but wouldn't let me be either

My troubles are without resolution, my wounds very deep

I've reach the tip, my sorrow is endless

I'm helpless, this is fate's cruel game to me

Those that drink regret it, those that don't even more so

It's as if we're all drunk with troubles from the moment we're born

Being in love is worse than being a drunk

With each drink I feel like Mecnun, Kerem*

Note:

Mecnun and Kerem are two "Romeos" of Turkish culture. For further information search "Leyla ile Mecnun" and "Kerem ile Aslı"
