Aşiyan Meaning & Lyrics (Afra | Sefo)
Elif Kılıç and Seyfullah Sağır mention a former self who was kind before learning pain. They describe watching a loved one’s happiness from afar after being unable to change them.
Harabemi Saklar Kaftanım IpekMy silk ‘caftan’ hides my inner ruins.
Benzim Soluk Metruk Asiyan YanarMy face is pale, and the abandoned ‘nest’ is burning.
Yanar IcimdeIt’s burning inside me.
Ben Bi’ Demir Yumruk Eldivenim KadifedenI’m an iron fist in a velvet glove.
Ben De Pek Kibardım Henüz Acıyı OgrenmedenI was also very kind before I’d learned what pain was.
Beni Eskiten Cok EskidenWhat wore me down happened a long time ago.
Yaramadım Ah DenizleriI couldn’t cut through the seas, ah.
Yapamadım Ama Cok IstedimI couldn’t make it happen, though I wanted to so much.
Degistiremedim SeniI just couldn’t change you.
Artık Beni Yakar Onun ElleriHer hands burn me now.
Simdi Uzaklarda Mutlulugunu IzlerimNow I watch your happiness from afar.
Bi’ Daha Sevemem SeniI won’t ever be able to love you again.
Yaramadım Ah DenizleriI couldn’t cut through the seas, ah.
Yapamadım Ama Cok IstedimI couldn’t make it happen, though I wanted to so much.
Degistiremedim SeniI just couldn’t change you.
Artık Beni Yakar Onun ElleriHer hands burn me now.
Simdi Uzaklarda Mutlulugunu IzlerimNow I watch your happiness from afar.
Bi’ Daha Sevemem Seni OoI won’t ever be able to love you again, oh.
Yanımda Sen Yarın Da Sen VahYou’re by my side today and tomorrow, alas.
Ne Var Ki Bir Kez “Gül” Desem SanaWhat if I just told you to “smile” once?
Ve Sen De Gülümsesen Sözünden DönmesenAnd if you smiled and didn’t go back on your word.
Rüyamı Bölmesen Hırsından Ölmesen YaIf you didn’t break my dream or die from your own spite.
Ben De Kafamı Denklesem Ya Senle Ölümü BeklesemIf I could get my head straight and wait for death with you.
Kaybolup Gitsem Ya Burdan Hic BilinmesemIf I could just disappear from here and remain unknown.
Olmuyorsa Yollarında Hic SürünmesemIf it’s not working, I shouldn’t crawl at your feet anymore.
Bi’ Kere “Git” Desen OoIf you’d just say “go” once, oh.
Yaramadım Ah DenizleriI couldn’t cut through the seas, ah.
Yapamadım Ama Cok IstedimI couldn’t make it happen, though I wanted to so much.
Degistiremedim SeniI just couldn’t change you.
Artık Beni Yakar Onun ElleriHer hands burn me now.
Simdi Uzaklarda Mutlulugunu IzlerimNow I watch your happiness from afar.
Bi’ Daha Sevemem Seni OoI won’t ever be able to love you again, oh.
Yaramadım Ah DenizleriI couldn’t cut through the seas, ah.
Yapamadım Ama Cok IstedimI couldn’t make it happen, though I wanted to so much.
Degistiremedim SeniI just couldn’t change you.
Artık Beni Yakar Onun ElleriHer hands burn me now.
Simdi Uzaklarda Mutlulugunu IzlerimNow I watch your happiness from afar.
Bi’ Daha Sevemem Seni OoI won’t ever be able to love you again, oh.
