KTS Lyrics Translation (from “manifestival”)
Aleyna Korkmaz writes from a place of total, almost reckless, surrender to a dizzying romance. She admits the love burns but refuses any escape, with her heart stubbornly returning to the same painful cycle every time. In a moment of cinematic desperation, the poet dreams of an outlaw escape, pleading ‘I want you to be the Clyde to my Bonnie, let’s run away from here’ (İstiyorum, ol Bonnie’me Clyde, kaçalım burdan).
Aşkın yaktı beni, yaYour love has burned me, yeah.
Ma-Ma-Manifest, yeMa-ma-manifest, yeah.
İstese aşkına köle olurumI’d be a slave to your love if you just asked.
Tek sözüne kendimi avuturumI’d comfort myself with a single word from you.
Ama yok, inatla dönüyoruz en başınaBut no, we stubbornly return to the very beginning,
En başınato the very beginning.
Hiç elimde yok, hiç elimde yok bi’ çareI’ve got nothing, absolutely no remedy left in my hands.
Kaçamam olmuyo’, bu kalp yerinde durmuyo’I can’t escape, it’s impossible, this heart just won’t stay still.
Sardın mı en başa? Düşmem o tuzağaDid you rewind us back to the start? I won’t fall into that trap.
İstiyorum, ol Bonnie’me Clyde, kaçalım burdanI want you to be the Clyde to my Bonnie, let’s run away from here.
Aşkın yaktı beni, yaYour love has burned me, yeah.
Söndürsene o zamanThen you should be the one to extinguish the fire.
Düştüm yoluna, bul beni şimdi ordaI’ve stumbled onto your path, find me there right now.
Sorma ne hâldeyim, biter mi? KorkmaDon’t ask how I’m doing, will this ever end? Don’t be afraid.
İşte burda kalbimin tek sahibiRight here stands the sole owner of my heart.
Şimdi dönüyosun banaNow you’re coming back to me.
Yok muydu başka numara?Didn’t you have any other tricks left to play?
Çalıyo’, açamam amaMy phone is ringing, but I can’t bring myself to answer.
Olmuyo’ ne uydursam daNo matter what excuse I make up, it just doesn’t work.
İçim ürperiyo’, beni deli ediyo’A shiver runs through my soul, it’s driving me completely crazy.
Sarmıyo’, hissi kavramıyo’The thrill is gone, completely failing to grasp the true emotion.
Neresinden tutsan bu aşkı her türlü sınıfta kalıyo’No matter how you look at it, this love fails every single test.
Hiç elimde yok, hiç elimde yok bi’ çareI’ve got nothing, absolutely no remedy left in my hands.
Kaçamam olmuyo’, bu kalp yerinde durmuyo’I can’t escape, it’s impossible, this heart just won’t stay still.
Sardın mı en başa? Düşmem o tuzağaDid you rewind us back to the start? I won’t fall into that trap.
İstiyorum, ol Bonnie’me Clyde, kaçalım burdanI want you to be the Clyde to my Bonnie, let’s run away from here.
Aşkın yaktı beni, yaYour love has burned me, yeah.
Söndürsene o zamanThen you should be the one to extinguish the fire.
