Mendil Astım Dilekten Lyrics English Translation

Düştüm gurbet ellere,
I fell into the hands of foreign lands,
Düştüm uyuyamadum…
I fell down and couldn't sleep...
Yardan ayri günleri
Days apart from the yard
Saydım bituremedum.
I counted but couldn't finish it.
Mendil astum dilekten
Handkerchief astum wish
Sevmiş idum yürekten…
I loved it wholeheartedly...
Bilsam sevmezdum oni
If I knew I wouldn't like him
Şimdi çıkmaz yürekten!
Now it won't come out of my heart!
Karemişun dalleri
Karemişun branches
Yerlere seriliyor
It's falling to the ground
Ben onu sevmiyorum
I don't like him
O kendi seviliyor
He himself is loved
Değirmenun bendine
to the mill's dam
Döner kendi kendine
Turns on its own
Hakikatli yar olsa
If only he were a true friend
Gelur kendi kendine
Come by yourself
