Turkish Lyrics

Özlesem de seni her an,
Ağlasam da olmaz duyan,
Beni senden ayrı koyan,
Kadere bak, kadere bak.

Dertle doldum genç yaşımda,
Bin hatıra gözyaşımda,
Ne çileler var başımda,
Kadere bak, kadere bak.

Bir gönlüm var hayal kuran,
Hasret doldum buram buram,
Beni yerden yere vuran,
Kadere bak, kadere bak.

English Translation

Even though I miss you every moment,
Even if I cry, no one hears,
Fate separates me from you,
Look at destiny, look at destiny.

I'm filled with troubles at a young age,
Countless memories in my tears,
I have so many hardships on my head,
Look at destiny, look at destiny.

I have a heart that dreams,
I'm filled with longing,
Being thrown from place to place,
Look at destiny, look at destiny.
