Turkish Lyrics

Gel gitme kadın, ruhumu hicranına yakma.
İnlet beni öldür beni ağyare bırakma.
Karşında esirim, bana düşman gibi bakma.
İnlet beni öldür beni ağyare bırakma.

English Translation

Don’t go, woman, don’t burn my soul with longing.
Make me hear it, kill me, don’t leave me to strangers.
I am your captive, don’t look at me as an enemy.
Make me hear it, kill me, don’t leave me to strangers.
