Bendeki bu ateş sönmeden \ Before fire inside me went out

Mevsim yazdan hazana dönmeden \ And before the season has changed from summer to autumn

Gözlerine uykular inmeden \ Before sleep has got into your eyes

Göğsüne yatır beni düşlere götür beni \ Press me to your bosom, take me to the dreams

Aşk bu cana bedenden hak ise \ Even though in love soul is more rightful than body

Can ne cami çeker ne kilise \ Soul can't stand neither mosque nor church

Ten sönmeden bitmez bu hadise \ Untill body decays, this happening won't end

Beni yanlış anlama şikayetim yok ama \ Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but

Ben aşkı böyle bildim gel merhem ol yarama \ That's how I knew love, come, be an ointment for my wounds

Ben hem kalp hem bedenim \ I'm both heart and body

Nefestir ruhum benim \ Breath and spirit

Aşk şarabı içerim \ I'm drinking a wine of love

Tez gelse de ecelim \ Even though my death will come quickly

Ben hem kalp hem bedenim \ I'm both heart and soul

Ateşten ruhum benim \ Fire spirit

Aşk şarabı içelim \ Let's drink a wine of love

Kendimizden geçelim \ Get away from ourselves

Bir ömür böyle geçmez ah ile \ Even though lifetime won't pass like that

Ağlasan da gülsen de nafile \ Even though you laugh and cry, everything's in vain

Sen dursan da yürür bu kafile \ Even though you stop, this echelon will march

Beni yanlış anlama şikayetim yok ama \ Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but

Ben aşkı böyle bildim gel merhem ol yarama \ That's how I knew love, come, be an ointment for my wounds
