Gel Canım [English translation]

The dawn (daybreak) ended but you are not here yet.

I weep and moan.

I have a cry to shout over these mountains,

over endless roads,

flying seagulls,

weeping mothers

those mountains and rocks

I can not endure and believe,

that you are whom I loved her.

You stabbed my heart whit a dagger

(I can not believe) that you did so

Com my life and sweetheart

with hennaed hands

with purled eyes

This body is for you. This heart is for you

May I ransomed for your black eyebrows

The wind blew and took the ember,

and brought it to my heart and it burnt and turned into ash.

Yearning is my lot again

What shall I do on the day without you (I don’t want that day).

I climbed over the mountains,

the rods that you have walked

the soil which you have walked

I can not endure and believe
