Ah Yar Lyrics Translation – Demet Özdemir
Demet Özdemir sings about setting a lover free. She describes being left with a false memory and undeniable damage from the relationship.
Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ahAh-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah.
Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ahAh-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah.
Helal Ettim Benden Aldigin Her SeyiI’ve forgiven everything you took from me,
Seni Ben Azat Ettim Gozumden Dusurur GibiI’ve set you free, as if letting you fall from my grace.
Kirdigin Yeri Acitmadan Gidiyorum Seni YormadanI’m leaving without hurting the place you broke, without wearing you out,
O Tovbeler Dilini Bulmadan Sunu Bi’ AnlasanIf only you’d understand this before those regrets find your tongue.
Ah Yar Zaman Siler Bu Izleri Azar AzarOh love, time erases these traces, little by little,
Birakmasam Elimden Ah Neye YararIf I don’t let go of you, ah, what’s the use?
Olmus Olanlar Zarar Sana YazarWhat has happened will be counted as your loss.
Ah Yar Elimde Kaldi Yalandan Bi’ HatiranOh love, I’m just left with a false memory,
Kandirir Gibi Seni Bana YazanAs if fate wrote you to me just to deceive.
Olmus Olanlar Yine Zarar ZiyanWhat’s happened is, again, just damage and loss.
Ah Yar Zaman Siler Bu Izleri Azar AzarOh love, time erases these traces, little by little,
Birakmasam Elimden Ah Neye YararIf I don’t let go of you, ah, what’s the use?
Olmus Olanlar Zarar Sana YazarWhat has happened will be counted as your loss.
Ah Yar Elimde Kaldi Yalandan Bi’ HatiranOh love, I’m just left with a false memory,
Kandirir Gibi Seni Bana YazanAs if fate wrote you to me just to deceive.
Olmus Olanlar Yine Zarar ZiyanWhat’s happened is, again, just damage and loss.
Ah YarOh, love.
