Eskimeyen Dost [English translation]

You are right whatever you say,

There are months that we couldn't meet.*

We couldn't share a drinking cup

when sitting in a corner

Who separated us from us?

We couldn't say "stop" to fate.

Unfortunately, we couldn't

appreciate those days.

Don't reproach me by saying "An old friend cannot become an enemy".

Don't impute just me the guilt of separation.

You'll be a crown for my head whenever you come.

You are my timeless friend, not my old friend.

Our ways are separated,

Even if our hearts are coalesced.

Everything reminds me of you,

Even if it is a dry rose

Who separated us from us?

We couldn't say "stop" to fate.

Unfortunately, we couldn't

appreciate those days.

Don't reproach me by saying "An old friend cannot become an enemy".

Don't impute just me the guilt of separation.

You'll be a crown for my head whenever you come.

You are my timeless friend, not my old friend.
