Turkish music (1997) - Yalan mı? (was it a lie?)

LYRICS

Seninle yıllar boyu kadere karşı durdum
bu sevda denizinde demek bizde boğulduk
kaç gece sabahladık uykulardan uyandık
bu yağmurlu gecelerde boş yere mi ıslandık?

Senin için ağladım, yalan mı, yalan mı?
diz çöküp te yalvardığım, yalan mı, yalan mı?
gençliğimi harcadığım yalan mı, yalan mı?
yalanmış meğer

Boş yere harap ettin kalbimdeki yerini
sen vurdun yüreğimi sevda ümitlerimi
kaç gece sabahladık, uykulardan uyandık
o yağmurlu gecelerde boş yere mi ıslandık

POEM

benim yaralı kalbim, güneşin battığı yer
bakışların ışık olsun, bana biraz ümit ver
soframda ekmeğindim, dudağımda yemindin
hani yıllar geçse bile, sen yanlızca benimdin

TRANSLATION

I stood by you for so many years
And now we are drowned in the sea of love
How many nights we stayed up together,
walking in rainy nights, was it a lie?

I cried for you many nights, was it a lie, was it a lie?
I kneeled down and begged to you, was it a lie, was it a lie?
I spent my whole youth with you, was it a lie, was it a lie?
I realized everything we lived were just lies

You destroyed your place in my heart, for what!
You broke my heart and my faith in our love
How many nights we stayed up together
Walking in rainy nights, was it a lie?

POEM

My injured heart is now where the sun sets (meaning dark)
Let your eyes be the light, give me some hope
You were my bread on my table, pledge on my lips (meaning my everything)
What happened, you said even years pass by, you'd always be mine
