Atarım İçime Lyrics English Translation by Can Atayılmaz | Ceren Sagu

Aleyna Tilki writes from the perspective of someone who has been emotionally ignored. The narrator decides that silence and screaming are both useless, choosing self preservation over a love that is not reciprocated. She makes a final, powerful offer, telling her lover ‘You be the sand, and I’ll be the sea’ (Sen kum ol ben deniz olayım), so her waves can erase their shared history.

Birileri bana seni sorduSomeone asked me about you,
Söyleyemedim son durumuI couldn’t explain how things are now.
İçlerimizi soyundukWe bared our inner selves to each other,
Sonra soğuduk diyemedimbut I couldn’t say we’ve grown cold.
Kalbini bana açmadı ben deHe didn’t open his heart to me, so-
Bekler miyim olduğum yerdewould I just wait right where I was?
Ömür az bi süreLife’s far too short,
Sabrım ondan da azand my patience is even shorter.
Gittim ben deSo, I just walked away.
Sussam olmuyorIf I’m silent, it doesn’t help,
Bağırsam duymuyorand if I scream, he won’t hear.
Dağılmış bu kalbimThis heart of mine is shattered.
Halimi bilmiyorHe doesn’t know my state of mind.
Bu aşkı atarım içime gerekirseI’ll bury this love deep inside if I must,
Giderim sensiz bi yerlereand go somewhere else without you.
Sen kum ol ben deniz olayımYou be the sand, and I’ll be the sea,
Dalgalarım silsin anılarıso my waves can wash the memories away.
Aşkımı atarım gerekirseI’ll cast my love aside if I have to,
Giderim sensiz bi yerlereand go somewhere else without you.
Değerim bilinmediyseSince my worth wasn’t recognized.
Gururumu bilsen deEven if you knew about my pride.
