Turkish Lyrics

Yine bu yıl ada sensiz içime hiç sinmedi.
Dilde yalnız dolaştım hep, gözyaşlarım dinmedi.
Bende şaştım nasıl oldu yüreğime inmedi.
Dilde yalnız dolaştım hep göz yaşlarım dinmedi.

English Translation

Again, this year, I couldn't feel comfortable without you on the island.
I wandered alone in my heart and my tears didn't stop.
I wondered how it didn't reach my heart.
I wandered alone in my heart and my tears didn't stop.
