Sessiz Gemi Lyrics English Translation

Artık demir almak günü gelmişse zamandan
If it's time to weigh anchor, it's time
Meçhule giden bir gemi kalkar bu limandan
A ship bound for the unknown leaves this port
Hiç yolcusu yokmuş gibi sessizce alır yol
The road moves silently as if it had no passengers.
Sallanmaz o kalkışta ne mendil ne de bir kol
Neither a handkerchief nor an arm will wave when he takes off.
Bir çok giden
A lot of going
Memnun ki yerinden
He is happy with his place
Çok seneler geçti çok seneler geçti
Many years have passed, many years have passed
Dönen yok seferinden
No one returns from his journey
Biçare gönüller ne giden son gemidir bu
This is the last ship going to helpless hearts
Hicranlı hayatın ne de son matemidir bu
What a last mourning of the hijran life
Dünyada sevilmiş ve seven nafile bekler
The one who is loved in the world and the one who loves waits in vain
Bilmez ki giden sevgililer dönmeyecekler
Lovers who are gone don't know that they won't return
