Orhan Ölmez -

Senden Vazgeçtim

[I gave up on you]

Ben kendime yanmayı kestim anladım zamanla

With time, I understood that I've stopped pitying myself

Gül bahçesi yapmaya kalktım bir avuç samanla

I've tried to make a rose garden with a handful of hay

 

 

Olmayacak duaya amin dedim nerden bilirdim

I said amen to a prayer that wasn't meant to come true, how did I know

Doğmayacak sabaha hevesle kendimden geçtim

I was impatiently waiting for a morning that won't come

 

 

Boşver dedi kalbim kendimi azat ettim

My heart said: forget it, I've set myself free

Sonsuz sevecektim birazcık sevseydin

I was going to love forever if only you loved a bit

Ama senden vazgeçtim

But I gave up on you

 

 

Yangın yeri kalbim ne alevler söndürdüm

My heart is a place of fire, I've extinguished such flames

Dipsiz kuyularda ne ümitler büyüttüm

I was raising such hopes in the bottomless wells

Ama senden vazgeçtim...

But I gave up on you
