Söz vermistin

[Broken-Flowers]

Can someone please translate this nice Candan Erçetin song? I would appreciate it!

Candan Erçetin - Söz vermistin

Söz vermistin bana
Yanibasimda yaslanmaya
Söz vermistik bu dünyaya
Ne olursak olsaydik

Kaç yil geçti bak hala
Son bakisin miras bana
Sakli duruyor ne fayda
Biraksaydin solsaydik

Hangi bahane avutur bilmem
Hangi günahin bedeli bu
Kandirmiyor ne gündüzüm ne gecem
Böyle intikam olmaz

Çok mu fazla bu sitem
Agir degil mi bu ceza
Söyle kim çok gördü seni bana
Böyle yalniz kalinmaz

Paylasilmiyor hüzün
Paylasamam yolu yok bunun
Anlatamam sözü yok bunun
Çekilecek basa geldikçe dertler

Bir zaman bir yerde
Bulusuruz yolu yok bunun
Kavusuruz yolu yok bunun
Görulecek günü geldikçe

( I dont have all the turkish 'signs' so i hope its understanable)

[sanalfikret]

Söz vermistin bana // you made a promise
Yanibasimda yaslanmaya // you promised to age with me
Söz vermistik bu dünyaya // we made a promise
Ne olursak olsaydik //we said "whatever happens"

Kaç yil geçti bak hala // see how many years have passed
Son bakisin miras bana // your last gaze is a legacy now
Sakli duruyor ne fayda // i hid it to no avail
Biraksaydin solsaydik // i hope you had let us wither

Hangi bahane avutur bilmem // i wouldn't know what to say
Hangi günahin bedeli bu // i wouldn't know what i'Ve done
Kandirmiyor ne gündüzüm ne gecem // nor my days neither my nights can fool me
Böyle intikam olmaz // this is too much even as a revenge

Çok mu fazla bu sitem // am i blaming you too much?
Agir degil mi bu ceza // but isn't this punishment to much?
Söyle kim çok gördü seni bana // tell me, who thought you were too much for me?
Böyle yalniz kalinmaz // this is too much even for loneliness

Paylasilmiyor hüzün // I can't share my grief
Paylasamam yolu yok bunun // I can't share this, no way would do
Anlatamam sözü yok bunun // I can't even tell this, no words can take
Çekilecek basa geldikçe dertler // I have to endure these as they happen

Bir zaman bir yerde // Somewhere, sometime
Bulusuruz yolu yok bunun // We will meet again, it's unavoidable
Kavusuruz yolu yok bunun // We will get together again, it's inescapable
Görulecek günü geldikçe // We'll have to see it when the time comes

What a beautiful song...

[sanalfikret]

most of candan erçetin's lyrics go about this style... if you like one song of her, you'll like most of the others...

also try; sertab erener, sezen aksu. beautiful women singers with heavenly lyrics...

maybe you know "sezen aksu". she's somewhat like a demigod of "love, hope, sorrow and grief" in türkiye legendary.

[NPazarka]

Well, I already knew this song, just didn't know the meaning of the words, that they were so beautiful .

I know the two female singers you've mentioned and I also like listening to their songs.

Thank u so much for the translation! Beautiful lyrics indeed!
I have got one question..

Söz vermistik bu dünyaya // we made a promise

Shudnt this be 'we made a promise in this world/for this world or so?

I looove this song [L]

I never translate word by word. This is a song. And an emotional heavy song.

Translating emotional songs word by word holds back the emotional meaning.

I gave you the emotional meaning of the song, if you'd rather have me doing this like a high school grammar test, I will.

Oh no no offence sanalfikret. You did an amazing job and I know its better to not translate word by word if u really want to express what the song is about. So i definately appreciate it! I was just wondering!
