Anılarla Yaşamak Meaning & Lyrics (Tarkan)
Aysel Gürel and Tarkan write: ‘Go suddenly one night / Just leave me as I am.’ The lyrics mention counting years backward while the lover moves forward. They ask to never be called ‘abandoned’ for dignity’s sake.
Beni Terk EdeceksenIf you’re going to leave me,
Bana Bunu SoylemeDon’t tell me that.
Bir Gece Ansizin GitGo suddenly one night,
Beni Birak OyleceJust leave me as I am.
Beni Terk EdeceksenIf you’re going to leave me,
Bana Bunu SoylemeDon’t tell me that.
Bir Gece Ansizin GitGo suddenly one night,
Beni Birak OyleceJust leave me as I am.
Goz Yaslarim Dusmesin Elimdeki MendileDon’t let my tears fall onto the handkerchief I’m holding,
Geleceksin Sanip Da Bekleyeyim UmitleSo I can keep waiting with hope, thinking you’ll return.
Bir Gece Iki Gece Sonra Bir Hafta Bir AyOne night, two nights, then a week, a month.
Ben Yillari Maziye Sen Yarina Dogru SayI’ll count the years back to the past, while you count yours toward tomorrow.
Anilarla Yasamak Asktan Zorla Alir PayLiving with memories takes its toll on love,
Hic Terk Edilmis Olmam Bunu Gururuma SayConsider it for my pride that I’ll have never been abandoned.
Beni Terk EdeceksenIf you’re going to leave me,
Bana Bunu SoylemeDon’t tell me that.
Bir Gece Ansizin GitGo suddenly one night,
Beni Birak OyleceJust leave me as I am.
Goz Yaslarim Dusmesin Elimdeki MendileDon’t let my tears fall onto the handkerchief I’m holding,
Geleceksin Sanip Da Bekleyeyim UmitleSo I can keep waiting with hope, thinking you’ll return.
Bir Gece Iki Gece Sonra Bir Hafta Bir AyOne night, two nights, then a week, a month.
Ben Yillari Maziye Sen Yarina Dogru SayI’ll count the years back to the past, while you count yours toward tomorrow.
Anilarla Yasamak Asktan Zorla Alir PayLiving with memories takes its toll on love,
Hic Terk Edilmis Olmam Bunu Gururuma SayConsider it for my pride that I’ll have never been abandoned.
Bir Gece Iki Gece Sonra Bir Hafta Bir AyOne night, two nights, then a week, a month.
Ben Yillari Maziye Sen Yarina Dogru SayI’ll count the years back to the past, while you count yours toward tomorrow.
Anilarla Yasamak Asktan Zorla Alir PayLiving with memories takes its toll on love,
Hic Terk Edilmis Olmam Bunu Gururuma SayConsider it for my pride that I’ll have never been abandoned.
