Ja Nisam Kockar [English translation]

I'm not a beggar, but I beg for love

Nor a zealot of my poems

Because of one woman I love

I live that life like a bohemian

I'm not a gambler but I lose

And I'm not happy when I smile

Because of one woman I kiss

I drink those bitter wines

My love, I gave you everything

There's a sink of sonnets between us

And over this stupid game a curtain would fall

If I weren't your puppet

I'm not a gambler but I lose

And I'm not happy when I smile

Because of one woman I kiss

I drink those bitter wines

My love, I gave you everything

There's a sink of grief between us

And over this stupid game a curtain would fall

If I weren't your puppet

I'm not a poet but a singer of sorrow

Ready for everything that comes to your mind

Because of you woman, who kisses others

I live like a bohemian, or better like a clown

I'm not a gambler but I lose

And I'm not happy when I smile

Because of one woman I kiss

I drink those bitter wines

My love, I gave you everything

There's a sink of sonnets between us

And over this stupid game a curtain would fall

If I weren't your puppet

I'm not a gambler but I lose

And I'm not happy when I smile

Because of one woman I kiss

I drink those bitter wines

My love, I gave you everything

There's a sink of grief between us

And over this stupid game a curtain would fall

If I weren't your puppet
