Ada Sahilleri [English translation]

I’m waiting on the Island shores

All the time my eyes are on the road you trod

I want you from yourself, darling

Make me happy, Sadi, for your sanity (for your head … to be sane)

Every time you lie I bleed

Every time there’s an obstacle between us

Every time you’re far, I long for you

Every union there’s the thought of separation

Where are those fragrant lilacs?

The leaves are fading and withering

When my home becomes the soil

Remember me, darling, for your sanity
