LYRICS
Aşkım bahardı
Ümitler vardı
Sen gittin diye
Gönlüm karardı
Ah… Geçti o günler
Unutuldu yeminler
Bir kırık kalp kaldı
Neden terk ettin
Bırakıp gittin
Ümitsiz kaldım
Gönlüm karardı
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
My love was like spring
I had such hope
But then you left
And my heart darkened
Ah… how those days went
Your vows were forgotten
Leaving nothing but a broken heart
Why did you forsake me?
Just abandon me
Leaving me without hope
And a darkened heart
