Melike Şahin

English Translation | Napıcam?

Melike Şahin

English

Without those eyes of yours,
What will I do? What will I do?
Your sorrow was my guide,
Which path will I choose?

If there’s a chance, I’ll wait,
For your lips upon my cheek.
Longing is my refrain,
How will I stand here now?

Original

Olmadan su gözlerin
N’apıcam ben? N’apıcam?
Matemindi rehberim
Hangi yola sapıcam?

İhtimalse beklerim
Dudağın yanağıma
Ezberimdir özlemin
Burda nasıl durucam şimdi?
