Hatırlar hayal oldu [English translation]

While I'm moaning with longing at distant

While I'm waiting for a hopeful news

I've heard that you've forgotten me

You've been landing on a different branch every day 1

Now I've realised, you never loved me

What didn't I sacrifice for you

No, you can't fool (me) again

Everything's going to end, you can't prevent

Look the memories became dreams

They've gone, they've gotten lost - they wouldn't even return if I say "return"

They can't return, those happy days

Buds2 will fade without opening

Darkness to surround all around you

One last ship will depart from this port

No one will wave after it3

This life will end goodbye, goodbye

1. An analogy to the birds on trees.2. Plant buds3. When ships, trains, buses etc. are departing; people wave their handkerchiefs just like waving hands. It's almost nonexistent now, due to lack of cloth pocket handkerchief usage - unlike 20th century
