Gittin, kanadý kýrýk kuþtum
When you left, I was a wing-broken bird

Sustum, sözlerine küstüm
I remained silent; I was offended by your words

Hani kýrýlýrsýn siyaha
In fact, you break the darkness

Nöbet nöbet geceler boyunca
Staying awake (and waiting) all nights long

Dün güne dize gelince
When yesterday was surrendered to day

Yürek acýlara doyunca
When heart was filled with sorrow

O tez dönüþün geç olunca
When your early return delayed

Kendime tahammülü öðrendim
I taught myself to be patient

Kördüm, bilendim
I was blind, become whetted

Seni unutmayý öðrendim
I learned to forget you

Sen yoktun, ben yalnýz kalmayý öðrendim,
When you were absent, I learned to live alone

Acýya duvar gibi durmayý öðrendim,
I learned to stand pain as a wall

Kaybolmuþ bir dilin sözcükleri gibi
As lost as words on tongue

Köksüz, baðsýz durmayý öðrendim
I learned to stand free, without roots

Vazgeçtiysen hep saðanak yaðýþlarýmdan
If you decide not to come back, my downpours (tears) will always be heavy

Vazgeçtiysen bitmek bilmez kýþlarýmdan
If you decide not to come back, my winters won´t have an end

Korkma kimseye ödenecek borcum yok
Don´t worry; I don´t have to pay one´s debt

Yoksaymayý ben senden öðrendim
I learned it from you to not taking (you) into account
