Sevdim bir kez, inan çıkman aklımdan
Hayal olmuş düş olmuş, hep benlesin
Cahilmiyim delimiyim, ben neyim?
Evden işe işten eve hep senleyim

Bekle durda sabah ola gün ola
Ezan* sesi beyaz bayrak çekerim
Mecnun bana ahbap ola dost ola
Dert kimdeymiş inan görsün isterim

I loved you once, believe me when I say you won't leave my mind.
It's been a fantasy, a hope, you're always with me.
Am I ignorant, am I crazy? What am I?
From home to work, from work back home, I'm always with you.

Wait there as morning and day pass by.
At the call to prayer* I'll raise up a white flag.
Family and friends call me crazed by love.
Who is troubled, believe me I'd like them to see it.

Notes:
* The Muslim call to prayer that occurs five times a day.
