Turkish Lyrics

Her mevsim içimden gelir geçersin.
Sen vefasız yolcu kalbim viran edersin.
Merhaba demeden elveda dersin.
Sen vefasız yolcu kalbim viran edersin.

You come and go within me every season,
You, the unfaithful traveler, ruin my heart.
You say goodbye before even saying hello,
You, the unfaithful traveler, ruin my heart.
