Anlayamazsın Lyrics English Translation by İStanbul Strings | Sakiler
Sinan Akçıl tells the story of a love being carelessly thrown away. The narrator says their partner is the architect of their own loss. He accuses them of destroying something precious, asking ‘You can’t understand’ (Anlayamazsın) what this love truly meant.
AnlayamazsınYou can’t understand,
Sana ne duyduğumuwhat I feel for you,
Göklere açıp elimiraising my hands to the heavens,
Ne konuştuğumuand what I say.
AnlayamazsınYou can’t understand,
Sana ne duyduğumuwhat I feel for you,
Göklere açıp elimiraising my hands to the heavens,
Ne konuştuğumuand what I say.
Madem seviyorsunSince you love me,
Kime gidiyorsun, ah?who are you going to, ah?
Ve bunu biliyorsunAnd you know this,
Ki sen her defasındathat every single time,
Böyle yapıncawhen you act like this,
Kendi elinlewith your own hands,
Beni kaybettinyou’ve lost me.
Yok, sen yorulmaNo, don’t tire yourself out,
Onlar soruncawhen they ask you,
Anlat, utanmaexplain it without shame,
Neyi mahvettinwhat you have ruined.

Sana ne duyduğumuwhat I feel for you,
Göklere açıp elimiraising my hands to the heavens,
