Turkish Lyrics

Başka söz söylemem, aşktan yana ben.
Yaralı bir kuşum, battım kana ben.
Ömrümce baş koydum güzelliğine,
Azatsız köleyim, bil ki sana ben.

English Translation

I don’t speak any more on love.
I am a wounded bird, immersed in blood.
Throughout my life, I have laid my head on your beauty.
I am an enslaved servant without freedom, know that I am for you.
