Bir Güneş Batışında [English translation]

When it was sunset,

(and) the evening came;

an unknown ship took you away from me;

took you far away, far far away;

without waving a handkerchief(i.e.without wishing me good fortune);

Without even sending regards;

Without looking back at all, you went like a stranger;

Standing miserably on the dock, I deliquesced, I went out (like candle), I came to an end.

Now, asking who,

am I going to find you?

Maybe all my life,

I will look towards your way;

(and) console myself

with you picture.

Who knows; maybe one day, I will die away like wax;

or maybe I will die all too soon of not having you;

I will die ill-timed, I will die untimely;

without waving a handkerchief;

without even sending regards;

Without looking back at all, you went like a stranger;

Standing miserably on the dock, I deliquesced, I went out (like candle), I came to an end.

Now, asking who,

am I going to find you?

Maybe all my life,

I will look towards your way;

(and) console myself

with you picture.
