Bu Gece Meaning & Lyrics (Seko | Tefo)
Ayaz Erdoğan describes a man covered in scars confronting betrayal. Every night feels like facing death while his heart lies in ruins. He plans ‘Tonight, I’m going to drink to all the things I believed in that betrayed me’ (Bu gece ben içicem, beni vuran tüm inandıklarıma), promising forgiveness yet expecting more pain ahead.
Benden ne istedin üstüm başım kir, kollarım yaraWhat did you want from me? My clothes are tattered, and my arms are scarred.
İnadına baba yaşıyorum inanI’m living out of spite, man, you’d better believe it.
Her gece ölümle sanki burun burunaEvery night, it’s like I’m coming face-to-face with death.
Gönlüm hep viran, aklım avare, her şeyiniz mi para?My heart’s in ruins, my mind’s a wanderer; is money the only thing that matters to you?
Unut vebali görünemem ki sanaForget the guilt, because I can’t even show my face to you anymore.
Göz yaşım akarken, o yüzden eşlik edemedim hiçbi’ vedanaMy tears were falling, so I couldn’t bear to stay for any of your goodbyes.
Neden hiç yolunda gitmez bu hayat?Why does this life never seem to go right?
Sanki hiç yorulmadım hiçbi’ yük sırtımda değilmiş gibiIt’s as if I never get tired, as if there’s no weight on my shoulders at all.
Sen de durmadın ya kimse durmasın artıkSince you didn’t stay, let no one else stay by my side anymore.
Aşkından ölürüm, seni takmam kolumaI’d die for your love, but I won’t let you walk beside me.
Bi’ yanımız ateş düştükçe tuzağaA part of us burns every time we fall into a trap.
Hayali bile öldürür beni bu sevda ilk kez yakmadı beniEven the thought of it kills me; this love isn’t burning me for the first time.
Senin için yakardım bu dünyayıI would’ve set this whole world on fire just for you.
Seni görmek bir ecel gibi, Mardin’de bir gece gibiSeeing you is like facing my end, like a cold ‘ancient city’ night in Mardin.
Bu gece ben içicem, beni vuran tüm inandıklarımaTonight, I’m going to drink to all the things I believed in that betrayed me.
Yine de affedicem, bıraktım herkesin yanlışını kâr yanınaI’ll still find a way to forgive; I’ve let everyone get away with their mistakes.
Biri de mahvedecek kırıp atacak seviyorum ayaklarınaSomeone else will ruin me, breaking my spirit while pretending to love me.
Yine de sabredicem, durucam elbet karşılarındaBut I’ll keep my patience, and I’ll definitely stand tall against them.
Derdi veren Allah, dermanı sen, gözlerin şiirGod gives the pain, but you’re the cure; your eyes are like poetry.
Kopuyor kalbimden bir parça sen gülünce, bu normal değilA piece of my heart breaks away when you smile; this isn’t normal.
Bu sokaklar bu şehirden koptu biz geçince, kıyamet değilThese streets felt torn from the city when we passed through, but it wasn’t the end of the world.
Koşmak güzel yolun sonunda sen varsan durulurdu akan nehirThe race is beautiful if you’re at the finish line; even a rushing river would go still for you.
Sarılmak istedim aslında eskiden gülen hâlimeTruthfully, I just wanted to embrace the version of me that used to smile.
Bu sokaklarda şartlar böyleydi, şükrettim bende Rabbim’eThe conditions were harsh on these streets, but I still gave thanks to my Lord.
Kafamda bi’ ton dertle çıktım, seni gördüm unuttum bileI walked out with a ton of trouble on my mind, but I forgot it all the moment I saw you.
Düştüysek yine kalkarız, sen el uzatma, bence şans dileIf I’ve fallen, I’ll get back up again; don’t offer a hand, just wish me luck instead.
Vurdun bak bilmediğim yerdenLook, you hit me where I least expected it.
Nerden çıktı tam güçlendim derken, ofWhere did this come from, just when I thought I’d grown strong?
Beni de hapsedecek belkiMaybe it’ll imprison me too.
Al yanına beni de giderkenTake me with you when you leave.
Vurdun bak harbiden derindenYou really struck me deep this time.
Kalkamadım o anda yerimden, ofI couldn’t even move from where I stood.
Pişman da değilim ki zatenBut I’m not even regretful anyway.
Hızlı yaşadık, ölücez erkenWe lived life in the fast lane, so we’re bound to die young.
Bu gece ben içicem, beni vuran tüm inandıklarımaTonight, I’m going to drink to all the things I believed in that betrayed me.
Yine de affedicem, bıraktım herkesin yanlışını kâr yanınaI’ll still find a way to forgive; I’ve let everyone get away with their mistakes.
Biri de mahvedecek, kırıp atacak seviyorum ayaklarınaSomeone else will ruin me, breaking my spirit while pretending to love me.
Yine de sabredicem, durucam elbet karşılarındaBut I’ll keep my patience, and I’ll definitely stand tall against them.
Bu gece ben içicem, beni vuran tüm inandıklarımaTonight, I’m going to drink to all the things I believed in that betrayed me.
Yine de affedicem, bıraktım herkesin yanlışını kâr yanınaI’ll still find a way to forgive; I’ve let everyone get away with their mistakes.
Biri de mahvedecek, kırıp atacak seviyorum ayaklarınaSomeone else will ruin me, breaking my spirit while pretending to love me.
Yine de sabredicem, durucam elbet karşılarındaBut I’ll keep my patience, and I’ll definitely stand tall against them.
