Dilerim sen lyrics?

Jonathan - 3-8-2009 at 01:18 PM

Anybody out there know the lyrics to the Turkish song Dilerim Sen (rast)? I don't know who it is by, but I do know that there is a version by Udi Hrant available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first line, probably, is:

Dilerim Sen Dahi Bir Zalime

hi jonathan, here it is...i dont have turkish characters on my keyboard so some of the umlaut u's and cedilla c's are absent, along with the unsounded g, but i am guessing you will know where these should be by reading:

dilerim sen dahi bir zalime
mevturah olasin
kara sevdaya dusup
ben gibi mecnun, ahhh

hanceri hicraninla
arzuyu dil ah olasin
cekein kefir olmeyesin
koprubaginda dilenesin

you too should feel the suffering
of deep love
the desperation of lonely love
the confusion and the craziness

if you could feel the stabbing pain of love
you should feel the prolonged suffering
without the relief of death
and be reduced to begging on the bridge.

i hope this helps...such a beautiful song.

Thank you so much for this. I really should have responded much much sooner. I've loved the song for years, and I am so grateful for the lyrics (and the translation).
