Bir İki Tek Lyrics Translation – Efsane I Soundtrack
Murat Güneş and Volga Tamöz create a narrator whose whole world has shattered. He asks his friends to set a raki table and play sad melodies, hoping a few drinks will make him forget. The song’s title asks the central, desperate question: ‘If I knock back a few drinks, will the pain fade’ (Atsam bir iki tek azalır mı ki), as he makes his home in the house of sorrow.
Kur bir cilingir sofrasiSet up a traditional table of spirits,
Bi’ hicaz koy bi’ huzzamplay some ‘melancholic Hicaz and Huzzam’ melodies.
Cagir su benim tayfayiCall my crew over,
Derdim cok bu aksambecause I’ve got so much on my mind tonight.
Atsam bir iki tek azalir mi kiIf I knock back a few drinks, will the pain fade?
Biraz olsun unutur muyum seniMight I forget you, even for just a moment?
Soran olursa yerim yurdum mekanim belliIf anyone asks, they know exactly where to find me.
Bu gecelik adresim kederin yeriFor tonight, my home is in the house of sorrow.
Coktu ustumuze gecenin demiThe heavy spirit of the night has settled over us.
Ustume yikildi gonul hanemThe house of my heart has collapsed upon me.
Soylemeyin sakin uzulur annemWhatever you do, don’t tell her; my mother would be heartbroken.
Dun sonsuza kadar canim cigerimdin bi’tanemdinYesterday, you were my life’s soul and my only one forever.
Bugun bi’kac sise bi’ kufe bana tek yarenToday, a few bottles and a ‘stumbling daze’ are my only companions.
Al sana yine ibret-i alemLook at me now, a cautionary tale for the whole world.
