İşkence Lyrics English Translation by Kambur

Lyricist Baran Kuzucan writes about the pain of distance and presence. ‘When you’re here it’s a burden, when you’re gone it’s torture’ expresses the emotional conflict. The poet mentions a fairy tale that becomes a riddle, showing how love can be both comfort and suffering.

Umrumda degil oncesiI don’t care about the past.
Kimlerle neler ettinWho you were with or what you did.
Benim su an tek istegimAll I want right now is,
Hep yaninda olmak seninto be by your side always.
Alti ustu bi’kac dakikaIt’s just a few minutes,
Degilim gercekten cok uzaktaI’m not really that far away.
Kelimeler yetersiz aklim baska yerdeWords aren’t enough, my mind’s elsewhere.
Gitme yanimdan gelmiceksen yineDon’t leave my side if you won’t come back again.
Bu bi’ masal bu bi’ bilmeceThis is a fairy tale, this is a riddle.
Varsin bi’ dert yoksun iskenceWhen you’re here it’s a burden, when you’re gone it’s torture.
Yoksun iskenceWhen you’re gone, it’s torture.
Ner’den ciktin karsimaWhere did you come from?
Tam oturdun boslugumaYou fit right into my emptiness.
Dokunmasam inanmazdimI wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t touch you,
Sen gibi bi’ ruyayain a dream like you.
Alti ustu bi’kac dakikaIt’s just a few minutes,
Degilim gercekten cok uzaktaI’m not really that far away.
Kelimeler yetersiz aklim baska yerdeWords aren’t enough, my mind’s elsewhere.
Gitme yanimdan gelmiceksen yineDon’t leave my side if you won’t come back again.
Bu bi’ masal bu bi’ bilmeceThis is a fairy tale, this is a riddle.
Varsin bi’ dert yoksun iskenceWhen you’re here it’s a burden, when you’re gone it’s torture.
Bu bi’ masal bu bi’ bilmeceThis is a fairy tale, this is a riddle.
Varsin bi’ dert yoksun iskenceWhen you’re here it’s a burden, when you’re gone it’s torture.
Yoksun iskenceWhen you’re gone, it’s torture.
