Arıyo Lyrics Translation – manifestival Soundtrack
Manifest describes a relationship where he chose to end things but the ex cannot move on. He declares it over and vows to stand firm, yet the singer reveals a haunting detail. The performer notes how she still ‘she searches for my touch in the dark’ (Tenimi geceleri arıyo’), showing how unfinished it remains.
Manifest, ahManifest, ah.
Alışır kalbim sensiz yazlaraMy heart will get used to these summers without you.
Seni istemeye artık son verdimI’ve finally put an end to wanting you.
Tenimi geceleri arıyo’She searches for my touch in the dark.
Olmuyo’, aşkı bensiz arıyo’It doesn’t work, she’s looking for love without me.
Tenimi geceleri arıyo’She searches for my touch in the dark.
Olmuyo’, aşkı bensiz arıyo’It doesn’t work, she’s looking for love without me.
Göremezsen, bizi sevemezsenIf you can’t see this, if you can’t love us,
Ara, aşkım, gece ya da erkencall me, my love, in the dead of night or early dawn.
Yine af diledi bendenOnce again, she begged for my forgiveness.
Tam “Olduk biz” derken kopamaz hislerdenJust when I thought we made it, she couldn’t let go of those old feelings.
Alışır kalbim sensiz yazlaraMy heart will get used to these summers without you.
Seni istemeye artık son verdimI’ve finally put an end to wanting you.
Tenimi geceleri arıyo’She searches for my touch in the dark.
Olmuyo’ aşkı bensiz arıyo’It doesn’t work, she’s looking for love without me.
Tenimi geceleri arıyo’She searches for my touch in the dark.
Olmuyo’, aşkı bensiz arıyo’It doesn’t work, she’s looking for love without me.
Hep istedin aklına gelmiyimYou always wanted me to fade from your mind.
Onlar biri, bense bi’ taneyimThey are just ordinary, but I am one of a kind.
Bütün hisleri ben sana verdimI poured all my emotions out to you.
Neden aşkımı yerlere serdin?Why did you drag my love through the dirt?
Arasan da artık dönmemEven if you call, I’m never coming back.
Yalan ettin her şeyi dündenYou’ve already turned everything into a lie.
Gözün arkada kalmasın lütfenPlease, don’t look back with regret.
İtsen de ben yere düşmemEven if you push me, I’ll never hit the ground.
Artık son verdimI’ve finally put an end to it.
Tenimi geceleri arıyo’She searches for my touch in the dark.
Olmuyo’, aşkı bensiz arıyo’It doesn’t work, she’s looking for love without me.
Tenimi geceleri arıyo’She searches for my touch in the dark.
Olmuyo’, aşkı bensiz arıyo’It doesn’t work, she’s looking for love without me.
