Fem Lyrics English Translation by Serra Arıtürk
Serra Arıtürk describes the pain of unrequited love through powerful physical and emotional details. She explains that her lover was fully formed while she was just beginning to open, noting ‘You were the one, while I was just a blossoming rosebud’ (Sendin, ben gonca femdim). The vocalist mixes this floral metaphor with the agony of watching someone walk away knowingly, creating a portrait of devastating clarity.
Benim olmadın, gözüm görmüyorYou never became mine, and now I’m blinded by pain.
Ölesim var ya yürek yetmiyorI feel like dying, but my heart isn’t brave enough.
Şeytanı duydum çek git diyorI heard a dark voice telling me to just leave,
Beni göndermeso please, don’t send me away.
Benim olmadın, yanıyor canımYou never became mine, and my soul is burning.
Sorasım var ya dünüm yarınımI want to ask about my past and my future,
Kafam almıyor bana mı kıydınbut I can’t understand if you’ve really forsaken me.
Derim öğretmeDon’t show me how to live without you.
Küçücük yüreğimle ben sanaWith my tiny heart, I nurtured,
Adam boyu sevdalar büyüttüm amaa love as vast as a man’s soul for you, but
İnandıramadımI couldn’t make you believe in us.
Büyü bozuldu, dünya yalanThe spell is broken, and the world feels like a lie.
İçimde bir şeytan durmadanThere’s a dark voice inside me that won’t stop,
Yağmurlar düşüyor üzerimeas the rain begins to pour down on me.
Yâr benden geçiyor bile bileMy love is walking away from me, knowing the pain it causes.
Emir kimden, niye soldu çiçeğimWhose command was this? Why has my flower withered away?
Sendin, ben gonca femdimYou were the one, while I was just a blossoming ‘rosebud’.
Yağmurlar düşüyor üzerimeAs the rain begins to pour down on me,
Yâr benden geçiyor bile bilemy love is walking away from me, knowing the pain it causes.
Emir kimden, niye soldu çiçeğimWhose command was this? Why has my flower withered away?
Sendin, ben gonca femdimYou were the one, while I was just a blossoming ‘rosebud’.
