ALO Lyrics Translation – Işik
IŞIK starts with a confrontation, telling someone they would be happy even if he died. The songwriter describes being trapped by watching eyes and defined by words that drive him crazy. He challenges doubters to ‘Try to catch up to my pace’ (Hızıma yetiş), showing his relentless speed and creative hunger.
Yeah, ölsem bile sevinecenYeah, you’d even be happy if I died.
YapmaDon’t even try.
Umrumda değil, önümde gel hizzayaI don’t care, come and fall in line before me.
YeahYeah.
Gözler beni yakalar, nefes alamamThe eyes catch me, and I can’t breathe.
YeahYeah.
Sözler beni ben eder, delirtse bileThe words define who I am, even if they drive me crazy.
Ya hiç, ne aslaIt’s either nothing, or never.
Duy sözlerimiHear my words,
Kafan hiç almazyour mind won’t even understand them.
“Gürültü” deyip geçJust call it ‘noise’ and move on,
Yeniden, yeniden, yenidenagain, and again, and again.
Yeniden, yeniden yenidenAgain, and again, and again.
Hızıma yetişTry to catch up to my pace.
Müziğim getirir iştahMy music builds up an appetite,
Bu nasıl bir iş?what kind of business is this?
Ona kurulurum illaI’ll definitely get obsessed with it,
Beğenmezsen diyorum onaif you don’t like it, I’m telling you,
“Hadi değiş”‘Go on, change yourself.’
Kara para pis ediyor mu fanatik?Does dirty money corrupt the fanatic?
Kıskanır, dönüşürsün faileYou’ll get jealous and turn into a culprit,
Yaklaşması zaman alır, aynenit takes time to get close, exactly.
Kısık piner, kısa tutamam hypeThe volume’s low, but I can’t keep the hype short,
Sizin soundlar bizim için eraydıyour sounds were just a past era for us.
ALO, yeahHELLO, yeah.
