Turkish Lyrics Yine bir sızı var içimde, akşam oldu diye. Gözüm acıyoir ağlarım hala, bilmem niye. İstemem geceyi onda mehtap, gam oldu diye. Gözüm acıyoir ağlarım hala, bilmem niye. English Translation There's an ache inside me again, just because it's evening. My eyes hurt, I still cry, I don't know why. I don't want the night, because the moon turned into sorrow. My eyes hurt, I still cry, I don't know why.
