Turkish Lyrics

Benim gönlüm sarhoştur,
Yıldızların altında.
Sevişmek ah ne hoştur,
Yıldızların altında.

Yanmam gönül yansa da,
Ecel beni alsa da,
Gözlerim kapansa da,
Yıldızların altında.

Mavi nurdan bir ırmak,
Gölgede bir salıncak,
Bir de ikimiz kalsak,
Yıldızların altında.

Yanmam gönül yansa da,
Ecel beni alsada,
Gözlerim kapansa da,
Yıldızların altında.

Ettiğim ah değildir,
Bahtım siyah değildir,
Bûse günah değildir,
Yıldızların altında.

English Translation

My heart is intoxicated,
under the stars,
to make love is so lovely,
under the stars.

Even if my heart burns,
even if death takes me,
even if my eyes close,
under the stars.

A blue stream of light,
a swing in the shade,
if only the two of us remain,
under the stars.

Even if my heart burns,
even if death takes me,
even if my eyes close,
under the stars.

My sighs are not in vain,
my luck is not black,
my kiss is not a sin,
under the stars.
