Sevdali Basim [English translation]

Ah my love sick head,

Ah my poetical rush,

Ah my drunkenness,

Ah my crazy heart,

Hush already, calm me down.

How many oceans have I passed through?

In how many seas have I been wasted?

With broken masts and torn sheets,

From how many travel have I returned tired?

Ah my wounded soul,

Ah my human flaw,

Ah my rebelliousness, ah my loneliness,

Come now, calm me down.

Ah my optimistic side,

Ah my foolishness,

Ah my fights,

Ah my regrets,

Hush already, calm me down.
