BABA – SENİN YERİN DOLMAZ lyrics

1. Kıta

Verse 1

Bir ömür sırtında taşıdın bizi,

You carried us on your back for a lifetime,

Kimseye göstermedin derdini sızı,

You showed no one your troubles, your pain,

Geceni gündüze kattın be babam,

You turned your nights into days, my father,

Biz gülelim diye unuttun kendini.

You forgot yourself so we could smile.

Ah be babam, canım babam,

Oh my father, my dear father,

Senin hakkın ödenir mi babam?

Can your right be repaid, my father?

Dünya yansa sönmez içimde,

Even if the world burns, it won't extinguish inside me,

Senin sevgin silinir mi babam?

Can your love be erased, my father?

Ah be babam, garip babam,

Oh my father, my poor father,

Yokluğunda kaldım yarım,

In your absence, I am incomplete,

Bir kez daha sarılsam sana,

If I could hug you just one more time,

Feda olsun sana bu canım.

This life of mine would be sacrificed for you.

2. Kıta

Verse 2

Eski bir ceketin kaldı duvarda,

An old jacket of yours remains on the wall,

Hatıran dolaşır bizim odalarda,

Your memory wanders in our rooms,

Bir nasihatini duysam yeniden,

If I could hear your advice again,

Derman olur inan bütün yaralara.

Believe me, it would be a remedy for all wounds.

Ah be babam, canım babam,

Oh my father, my dear father,

Senin hakkın ödenir mi babam?

Can your right be repaid, my father?

Dünya yansa sönmez içimde,

Even if the world burns, it won't extinguish inside me,

Senin sevgin silinir mi babam?

Can your love be erased, my father?

3. Kıta

Verse 3

Saçına ak düştü bizim uğruna,

Your hair turned white for our sake,

Yükünü gizledin kendi bağrına,

You hid your burden in your own chest,

Şimdi anlıyorum sustuğun yerde,

Now I understand, where you were silent,

Ne fırtınalar varmış senin dünyanda.

What storms there were in your world.

4. Kıta

Verse 4

Kapı çalsa hâlâ sana bakarım,

If the door knocks, I still look for you,

Gelirsin diye yolları sayarım,

I count the roads, hoping you'll come,

Baba sevgisi başka bir sevda,

A father's love is a different kind of passion,

Ölene dek kalbimde yaşatırım.

I will keep it alive in my heart until I die.

Ah be babam, canım babam,

Oh my father, my dear father,

Sen benim en büyük çınarım,

You are my greatest plane tree,

Bu dünyada neye sahip olsam,

Whatever I may possess in this world,

Senin bir bakışına değişmem babam.

I wouldn't trade it for one glance from you, my father.

Ah be babam, güzel babam,

Oh my father, my beautiful father,

Adın kalbimde benim duam,

Your name is my prayer in my heart,

Allah ömür versin sana,

May Allah grant you a long life,

Sen varsan eksilmez yuvam.

If you are here, my home is not diminished.

Bir evladın en büyük serveti,

A child's greatest treasure,

Babasının duasıymış meğer…

Was his father's prayer, after all…

İyi ki vardın benim babam,

It's good that you existed, my father,

İyi ki sen benim babamsın…

It's good that you are my father…
