Zaman bir akrep gibi sokarken canımı
When time stings my soul like a scorpion
Dört duvar arasında yankılanır sesim
My voice echoes between four walls
Bir umut ışığı ararım boşuna karanlık yutmuş tüm hayallerimi
I search for a ray of hope in vain, darkness has swallowed all my dreams
[Nakarat] · Chorus
Bana kaderimin bir oyunumu bu
Is this a game of my destiny?
Sonsuz bir çileye mahkum mu gönül
Is my heart condemned to an endless ordeal?
Aşkın celladı olmuş o vefasız yare
That unfaithful beloved has become the executioner of love
Ben yandım sen yanma ey vefasız dünyaa
I burned, don't you burn, oh unfaithful world
benim kaderim siyah yazılmış
My destiny is written in black
sokaklar karanlık her yanım boşluk
The streets are dark, every part of me is empty
yüreğim sensiz yangına düştü
My heart fell into a fire without you
her nefeste senden bir sızı kalmış
With every breath, a pang of you remains
[Nakarat] · Chorus
Bana kaderimin bir oyunumu bu
Is this a game of my destiny?
Sonsuz bir çileye mahkum mu gönül
Is my heart condemned to an endless ordeal?
Aşkın celladı olmuş o vefasız yare
That unfaithful beloved has become the executioner of love
Ben yandım sen yanma ey vefasız dünyaa
I burned, don't you burn, oh unfaithful world
Lines explained
“Zaman bir akrep gibi sokarken canımı”
When time stings my soul like a scorpion
The opening line uses a powerful metaphor, comparing the passage of time to a scorpion's sting, indicating deep and painful suffering caused by the relentless march of time and events.
“Aşkın celladı olmuş o vefasız yare”
That unfaithful beloved has become the executioner of love
This line personifies love and betrayal, stating that the unfaithful beloved has become the 'executioner of love,' implying that their actions have killed the love or caused immense pain as if love itself were being executed.
“Ben yandım sen yanma ey vefasız dünyaa”
I burned, don't you burn, oh unfaithful world
This is a common Turkish idiom or expression. 'Ben yandım sen yanma' means 'I suffered, don't you suffer,' often said as a warning or a plea to others not to experience the same pain. Here, it's addressed to an 'unfaithful world,' suggesting a broader disillusionment.
