Dayak Arsızı Lyrics English Translation by Mermi
ALP ATLAS TOPÇU writes a story about a love that turned into a series of shocking lies. The poet admits to feeling lost and suffocated, describing a ‘defiant soul’ (Dayak arsızı) who refuses to play by the rules anymore. The songwriter searches for answers but finds only the pain of being abandoned.
Aşk yetmezmiş bizi görünce ben anladımI realized love wasn’t enough when I saw us.
Biraz şaşkınım biraz şoktayımI’m a bit confused, I’m a little in shock.
Sana güvendim bir bir çıktı her lafın yalanI trusted you, but every word you said turned out to be a lie.
Tamam haklısın sen haklısınFine, you’re right, you’re right.
Tanıdık yüzler bir anda tanınmazFamiliar faces suddenly become unrecognizable.
Herkes yalancı düzenbazEveryone’s a liar, a total trickster.
Dayak arsızı kural tanımazA defiant soul follows no rules.
Seçimlerinde hep bi risk var biraz da ölümThere’s always a risk in your choices, and a hint of death.
Sana hastayım sana hastayımI’m crazy about you, I’m crazy about you.
Yeniden tertemiz bi’ sayfa açtımI’ve turned over a brand new, clean page.
Hâlâ serseri gibi seni arıyorumI’m still searching for you like a vagabond.
Aklımdaki sorulara cevap bulamadımI couldn’t find answers to the questions in my mind.
Kafamı biraz yordum ama bulamadımI racked my brain a bit, but I couldn’t figure it out.
Hayat soluğumu kesiyo’ günden güneLife is suffocating me, day by day,
Yirmi dört yaş kırk sekiz hislerimleat twenty-four, but with the feelings of a forty-eight-year-old.
Alışamadım beni terk edişineI couldn’t get used to you leaving me.
Ve bu salak çocuk seni bekler seksendeAnd this foolish kid will wait for you when he’s eighty.
Dayak arsızı, dayak arsızı, dayak arsızıDefiant soul, defiant soul, defiant soul.
Kızı görünce gözlerime inanmadımI couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the girl.
Of dedim bu kıza bi ben mi bayıldımI sighed and wondered, am I the only one who fell for this girl?
Sen ne güzelsin ulan hatunumDamn, how beautiful you are, my woman.
Konuşmadan beni nasıl büyüledinHow did you enchant me without even speaking?
Daraldığım gecelere ben aşık oldumI’ve fallen in love with the nights that suffocated me.
Karanlıkta şans sigaramı yakıyorumI’m lighting my lucky cigarette in the dark.
Önceki şarkım dostuma hediyemMy previous song was a gift to my friend.
Kapak olsun bra sana bu hediyemLet this gift put you in your place, bro.
Artık özlemek bile istemiyorumI don’t even want to miss you anymore.
Yoluma cıkmasan ya iyi edersinYou’d better not cross my path.
Durgunum şu ara iyi değilimI’m quiet these days, I’m not doing well.
Yolda karsılassak tanımazsınIf we crossed paths on the street, you wouldn’t recognize me.
Dayak arsızı, dayak arsızı, dayak arsızıDefiant soul, defiant soul, defiant soul.
