KOCA ADAM Lyrics Translation – Sena Gül

Sena Gül opens with a direct accusation, noting she escaped from someone who seemed polite from a distance. Her narrator exposes the man’s deep fear of commitment, saying ‘cheating is his most deep-rooted habit.’ The poet then questions his unearned confidence, wondering how he can look at himself in the mirror each morning.

Yeni kurtuldum deli bi’ adamdanI’ve just escaped from a crazy man.
Kendisi beni pek iyi tanırHe knows me all too well.
Ah ne kibar görünürdü uzaktanOh, how polite he seemed from a distance.
Gören iyi kalpli biri sanırAnyone watching would think he’s kind-hearted.
Kaybeder hep o koca egosundanHe always loses because of that massive ego.
Mütevazıyım diye geçinirHe gets by claiming he’s humble.
Bi’ de çok korkar bağlanmaktanAnd he’s so terrified of commitment.
Aldatmak en sıkı âdetidirCheating is his most deep-rooted habit.
Kendini affedince sandı ki aklandıHe thought he was cleared when he forgave himself.
Öyle doğdum diye kendini adam sandıHe thought he was a real man just because he was born one.
Bak sen, koskoca adamLook at you, such a ‘big man’.
Aşk olsun, yakıştı mı sana?Shame on you, did this really suit you?
Bu enkaz, topla kendini n’olur, rezil olmaThis wreck, pull yourself together please, don’t be a disgrace.
Bittiyse ağlayıp zırlamanIf your crying and whining is finally over.
Bi’ de bu herif tam otuz iki yaşındaAnd this guy is already thirty-two years old.
Bak yemeği hep önüne gelirLook, his meals are always served right to him.
Sorsan koca adam, aklı başındaIf you ask him, he’s a grown man with a level head.
Ama kafayı yemeye birebirBut he’s perfect for driving someone mad.
Beceremez olmayı bile pişmanHe can’t even manage to feel regret.
Yenilir küstahlığınaHe’s always defeated by his own arrogance.
Beslenir en ufacık aklıştanHe feeds on the tiniest bit of applause.
Verilince kredisi o açlığınaWhen credit is given to that hunger of his.
Kaç kere yaptı ama akıllanmadıHe did it so many times but never learned his lesson.
Utanır yanındaki tüm arkadaşlarıAll the friends around him are embarrassed.
Adım çıktı diye titredi bacaklarıHis legs shook because the truth finally came out.
Nasıl bakar aynaya bilmem sabahlarıI don’t know how he looks in the mirror in the mornings.
Bak sen koskoca adamLook at you, such a ‘big man’.
Aşk olsun yakıştı mı sana?Shame on you, did this really suit you?
Bu enkaz, topla kendini, n’olur rezil olmaThis wreck, pull yourself together, please don’t be a disgrace.
Bittiyse ağlayıp zırlamanIf your crying and whining is finally over.
Vah vah, kırdım mı kalbini?Oh dear, did I break your heart?
Artık bilirsin haddini inşallahHopefully, you’ll know your place now.
Topla kendini n’olur, rezil olmaPull yourself together please, don’t be a disgrace.
Bittiyse ağlayıp zırlamanIf your crying and whining is finally over.
