English Translation | Canın Beni Çekti

Melike Şahin

English

Honey drips from your lips
Oh, the sweet words you’ve spun
Every part of me showered with praise

I used to fall for it when I was naive
Intense games of sly flirtation
But you’re not to blame

What’s with the charm, this appetite?
Just a bit,
Take a breath, catch your breath
I’m a tough nut with a syrupy core
I won’t bleed for your rosy dreams

Eyes may hide intentions, maybe
I saw you; I know you wanted me
No flirty, stubborn smiles from afar
If you’re brave, come close to me

Eyes may hide intentions, maybe
I saw you; I know you wanted me
No flirty, stubborn smiles from afar
If you’re brave, come close to me

Original

Bal damlar ağzından
Amma laflar yaptın
Her yanım bin iltifat

Toyken yerdim bunları
Hummalı kür oyunları
Sende değil kabahat

Bu ne cilve, ne bu iştah?
Azcık
Nefes al, bi’ soluklan
Çetin ceviz şerbetli mayam
Toz pembene kanamam ki

Gözler gizler niyetleri belki
Gördüm seni canın beni çekti
Yok öyle uzaktan çapkın, inatçı gülüşler
Yerse benle kuytuya gel

Gözler gizler niyetleri belki
Gördüm seni canın beni çekti
Yok öyle uzaktan çapkın, inatçı gülüşler
Yerse benle kuytuya gel
