Mendilimde Kırmızım Var [English translation]

there’s crimson on my handkerchief

did you not see my tears

I burned up, I blazed, beloved

if you’d brought water, would I still be on fire?

oh, how numbered days fly by

this burden must be borne

written words remain, spoken words take wing

may my heart lament

give back, give back

my dreams

reality is agony

can my heart endure not seeing

its desire

let it see again and again

hyacinth petals in my handkerchief

my soul aches, the nightingale weeps

who can bear to be apart from their beloved

the nightingale’s solace is the rose

oh, how numbered days fly by

this burden must be borne

written words remain, spoken words take wing

may my heart lament

give back, give back

my dreams

reality is agony

can my heart endure not seeing

its desire

let it see again and again
