Acep şu yerde var m´ola
Şöyle garip bencileyin
Bağrı başlı gözü yaşlı
Şöyle garip bencileyin
I wonder if there is a stranger like me here? Someone whose heart is wounded and tears on his eyes? A stranger like me?
Kimseler garip olmasın
Hasret odına yanmasın
Hocam kimseler duymasın
Şöyle garip bencileyin
May nobody be a stranger. May nobody burn in the fire of longing. My hodja! May nobody hear a stranger like me.
Nice bu dert ile yanam
Ecel ere bir gün ölem
Meğerki sinimde bulam
Şöyle garip bencileyin
How long may I burn with this sorrow? May death come, may I die. Apprently may I find in my grave a stranger like me.
Gezdim Urum ile Şam´ı
Yukarı illeri kamu
Çok istedim bulamadım
Şöyle garip bencileyin
I wander Anatolia and Damascus. All the countries above. I wanted a lot but couldnt find a stranger like me.
Söyler dilim ağlar gözüm
Gariplere göynür özüm
Meğerki gökte yıldızım
Şöyle garip bencileyin
My tongue says, my eyes cry. I feel a lot of sorrow for strangers. Apprently my star in the sky is a stranger like me.
Bir garip ölmüş diyeler
Üç günden sonra duyalar
Soğuk su ile yuyalar
Şöyle garip bencileyin
May they say a stranger died. May they hear after three days. May they wash with cold water a stranger like me.
Hey Emre´m Yunus biçare
Bulunmaz derdine çare
Var imdi gez şardan şara
Şöyle garip bencileyin
O my Emre! Yunus is helpless. A cure cant be found for his sorrow. Now go and travel cities. (Like) a stranger like me.
Or may be this letter is not for you. You are the new lover of the man who this letter was written for. Too complicated. My brain will explode.
