'A lantern blazes in the mountains'-Şu Karşıki Dağda Bir Fener Yanar - Selim Sesler & İdil Üner


Selim Sesler and his Orchestra feat. Idil Üner - 'Şu Karşıki Dağda Bir Fener Yanar' - 'A lantern blazes in the mountains'

Idil Üner sings 'Şu karşıki..' at the Bosphore, Istanbul (snapshot from Fatih Akin's 'Head on' (2004) movie

Şu karşıki dağda bir fener yanar
Fenerin şavkına, efendim, aman, şahinler konar
Herkes sevdiğine böyle mi yanar?

Ah, ben yarsız kaldım, efendim, aman
Düşmanlar kör olsun
Ben perişan oldum, efendim, aman
Dağlar şen olsun

***

На той горе напротив сверкает маяк
Соколы слетаются на его яркий свет
Не так ли от любви пылает и каждый влюблённый?

Ах, остался я без любимого друга,
Да ослепли б враги мои,
Несчастным я стал,
Так пусть же горы будут веселы и свежи!

***

A lantern blazes yonder in the mountains
Falcons are lured to its glow
Isn't any lover burning and blazing for love like this?

Alas, I've remained lonely, without my beloved,
How I wish my enemies would become blind,
I've become unhappy,
So let the mountains be merry and breezy!
