Alaturka [English translation]

When twilight's deepened into darkness

The very moment sunlight's died away as if behind the curtains

Night sky will start its reign

Though crying in my soul, I will be smiling

The moonlight has awakened

Stars' joyful promenade has lit the darkness

But all I get is sorrow, time and time again

Ah, how cruel is the abyss of a breakup

Let there be music tonight

Let old Turkish melodies sound

Oh master, hit the strings of your tambur

Let all the singers trill

Let there be music tonight

Let old Turkish melodies sound

Oh master, hit the strings of your tambur

Let all the singers trill

In boats, unfaithful lovers

Are passing by my window

Love's gorgeous melody is resonating in the skies

And fading out for good

The moonlight has awakened

Stars' joyful promenade has lit the darkness

But all I get is sorrow, time and time again

Ah, how cruel is the abyss of a breakup

Let there be music tonight

Let old Turkish melodies sound

Oh master, hit the strings of your tambur

Let all the singers trill

Let there be music tonight

Let old Turkish melodies sound

Oh master, hit the strings of your tambur

Let all the singers trill

I guess this is my fate
