Candan Erçetin - Vay Benim Halime

Selam! Could somebody please translate this song for me?

Ak güvercin olaydım pencerene konaydım
Penceren çok yüksekte yar dizine konaydım
Ay ramo ramo ramo sevgilim
Ramo ramo sevgilim yar dizine konaydım

Birine aşık oldum
Düştüm peşine
Hayat çok güzel göründü
Birden gözüme

Annem sakın yapma dedi
Güldüm yüzüne
Çok seviyorum anne dedim
Karışma bize

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Dinlemedim anneciğimi düştüm zalime
Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Bulamadım çaresini yandım kaderime

Cicim ayları geçince
Geldim kendime
Söyleyemedim kimselere
Kaldım dertlere

Yarin huysuzluğundan
Bezdim bin kere
Kaynanamın dırdırından
Döndüm iğne ipliğe

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Dinlemedim anneciğimi düştüm zalime
Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Bulamadım çaresini yandım kaderime

Bu halim ibret olsun
Tüm sevenlere
Herkes muradına ersin
Çıkalım kerevetine

Davullar vurulsun
Düğün dernek kurulsun
Dengi dengine

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Dinlemedim anneciğimi düştüm zalime
Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Bulamadım çaresini yandım kaderime

Keten gömlek sekiz kat dördünü giy dördünü sat
Benden başka seversen kalkma döşeklerde yat
Ay ramo ramo ramo sevgilim
Ramo ramo güzelim kalkma döşeklerde yat

Lütfen!

Ak güvercin olaydım pencerene konaydım
I wish i were a white pigeon and perch your window

Penceren çok yüksekte yar dizine konaydım
Your window is too high (my)beloved i wish i perched on your knee

Ay ramo ramo ramo sevgilim
Ay ramo ramo ramo my love

Ramo ramo sevgilim yar dizine konaydım
Ramo ramo my love (my) beloved i wish i perched on your knee

Birine aşık oldum
I fell in love with someone

Düştüm peşine
i run after (him/her)

Hayat çok güzel göründü
The life seemed so beautiful

Birden gözüme
Suddenly for me (to my eyes)

Annem sakın yapma dedi
My mother said beware dont do it

Güldüm yüzüne
i laughed at (her) face

Çok seviyorum anne dedim
i said mom i love (him/her) so much

Karışma bize
Dont get involved

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Vay vay vay vay look at me (the condition i am in)

Dinlemedim anneciğimi düştüm zalime
I didnt listen to my mommy and fall in a grim (fall in love with a grim one)

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Vay vay vay vay look at me (the condition i am in)

Bulamadım çaresini yandım kaderime
I couldnt find a cure i beated my chest for my (bad) destiny ( "yandım" actualy means "i burned" but here it is said as i was so sory for)

Cicim ayları geçince
When the honey moons were over

Geldim kendime
i came to myself (sober up)

Söyleyemedim kimselere
i couldnt tell anyone

Kaldım dertlere
i was left behind with sorrows

Yarin huysuzluğundan
Bezdim bin kere
i fed up thousands of times because of beloveds grouchiness

Kaynanamın dırdırından
Döndüm iğne ipliğe
i became to skin and bones because of my motherinlaws grumbles

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Vay vay vay vay look at me (the condition i am in)

Dinlemedim anneciğimi düştüm zalime
I didnt listen to my mommy and fall in a grim (fall in love with a grim one)

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Vay vay vay vay look at me (the condition i am in)

Bulamadım çaresini yandım kaderime
I couldnt find a cure i beated my chest for my (bad) destiny ( "yandım" actualy means "i burned" but here it is said as i was so sory for)

Bu halim ibret olsun
Let my condition be a lesson

Tüm sevenlere
For all the ones whom are in love

Herkes muradına ersin
(i wish) everyone reaches their aim

Çıkalım kerevetine
(*kerevet means a wooden bedstead but "onlar erdi muradına biz çıkalım kerevetine" is a saying that always used after a couple is married. Especially the tales which are said to small children ends with this sentence. It means they had what they want, so we go on with our own business.)

Davullar vurulsun
Let the drums play

Düğün dernek kurulsun
Let the wedding ceromony start

Dengi dengine
Welmatched


Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Vay vay vay vay look at me (the condition i am in)

Dinlemedim anneciğimi düştüm zalime
I didnt listen to my mommy and fall in a grim (fall in love with a grim one)

Vay vay vay vay benim halime
Vay vay vay vay look at me (the condition i am in)

Bulamadım çaresini yandım kaderime
I couldnt find a cure i beated my chest for my (bad) destiny ( "yandım" actualy means "i burned" but here it is said as i was so sory for)

Keten gömlek sekiz kat dördünü giy dördünü sat
Linen sleewe made of 8 layers, wear four of them sell four of them (* this is a nursery rhyme )

Benden başka seversen kalkma döşeklerde yat
İf you love anyone except me, i wish you fall ill

Ay ramo ramo ramo sevgilim
Ay ramo ramo ramo my love

Ramo ramo güzelim kalkma döşeklerde yat
Ramo ramo my darling i wish you fall ill



**** Ramo is a short way of calling Ramazan which is a male name.




i hope it helps.

1. wish + past tense is used for unreal situations (just like here) so we should say “I wish I were a white pigeon”, not “I wish I be…”

2. Second form of laugh is “laughed”, not “loughed”
