Kaçsam Gitsem Lyrics English Translation by Elif Buse Doğan
Hüseyin Mehmedoğlu writes about placing oneself in a lover’s hands only to be taken for granted. Elif Buse Doğan asks ‘Which promise did you ever keep?’ and says ‘I simply loved you’ as final justification before departure.
Ağlıyormuş Çok ÜzüldümI heard you were crying, and I felt so sorry.
Seni Kırmak İstemezdimI never wanted to break your heart.
Üzerinde Çok DüşündümI have thought about this so much.
Geriye Dönmek İstemezsinYou wouldn’t want to go back now.
Bilerek Unuttun Sözlerini SenYou forgot your promises on purpose.
Hangi Sözü Tuttun Bunu TutasınWhich promise did you ever keep, that you’d keep this one?
Kendimi Bıraktım Ellerine BenI placed myself entirely in your hands.
E Tabii Sevildikçe Sen De ŞımardınAnd naturally, the more you were loved, the more spoiled you became.
Bulsan KeşkeIf only you could find,
Bi’ Yolunu ŞimdilikA way out for now.
Kaçsam Gitsem Bu ŞehirdenIf I just ran away from this city,
Bir Gün AnsızcaOne day, all of a sudden.
Haberin Olmaz Bi’ Suçum YokYou wouldn’t even know, and I’m not to blame,
Sevdim YalnızcaI simply loved you.
Kaçsam Gitsem Bu ŞehirdenIf I just ran away from this city,
Bir Gün AnsızcaOne day, all of a sudden.
Haberin Olmaz Bi’ Suçum YokYou wouldn’t even know, and I’m not to blame,
Sevdim YalnızcaI simply loved you.
Bulsan KeşkeIf only you could find,
Bi’ Yolunu ŞimdilikA way out for now.
Kaçsam Gitsem Bu ŞehirdenIf I just ran away from this city,
Bir Gün AnsızcaOne day, all of a sudden.
Haberin Olmaz Bi’ Suçum YokYou wouldn’t even know, and I’m not to blame,
Sevdim YalnızcaI simply loved you.
Kaçsam Gitsem Bu ŞehirdenIf I just ran away from this city,
Bir Gün AnsızcaOne day, all of a sudden.
Haberin Olmaz Bi’ Suçum YokYou wouldn’t even know, and I’m not to blame,
Sevdim YalnızcaI simply loved you.
