Leke Meaning & Lyrics (Afra | Serhat Durmus)
Elif Kılıç describes the aftermath of a painful relationship where words become weapons. The poet compares emotional damage to physical violence, creating a vivid sense of betrayal. She notes how ‘you leave a black stain on me every single time’ (Ama her seferde siyah bir leke bırakıyorsunuz), showing how lovers can permanently tarnish each other. The narrator feels incomplete and haunted by burned dreams.
Son kurşunu göğsümden tetiksiz vurulmuşumI’ve been shot through the heart by a final bullet that didn’t need a trigger.
Son kurşunu sözleriymiş, ben boş savunmuşumThose final words were the shot, and I’ve defended myself in vain.
Onun adaleti veda etmekmiş hepTheir version of justice was always to just say goodbye,
Bense her aşktan sonra avuttum kendimi tekwhile I’ve consoled myself alone after every heartbreak.
Ben olmayacağım bu denizlerin kirli yosunuI won’t become the grime beneath these heavy seas,
Ama her seferde siyah bir leke bırakıyorsunuzbut you leave a black stain on me every single time.
Nasıl anlasınlar onsuz benim sonsuz acımıHow could they ever grasp the endless pain I feel without them,
Siz her âşığı kendiniz gibi zannediyorsunuzwhen you assume every lover is just as hollow as you are?
Ben yarım kaldım yarım, yarım dünyalıyımI’ve been left incomplete and broken, a soul from a fractured world.
Benim tamamlanmam zor, ben yanık rüyalıyımI can’t be made whole again; I’m haunted by scorched dreams.
Ben yarım kaldım yarım, yarım dünyalıyımI’ve been left incomplete and broken, a soul from a fractured world.
Benim tamamlanmam zor, ben yanık rüyalıyımI can’t be made whole again; I’m haunted by scorched dreams.
Hanginize bakıversem yüzüme değiyor namluNo matter which of you I look at, I feel a cold barrel against my face.
Kimde suç bulabilirim, sorsan hepsi gamlıWho can I blame when everyone claims they’re the ones in sorrow?
Şu başımı hangi omza koyuversem, koyuversemWhichever shoulder I try to rest my heavy head upon,
Şimdiye dek yoktu yer, sanki şimdi var mı?there’s never been a place for me; why would there be one now?
Ben yarım kaldım yarım, yarım dünyalıyımI’ve been left incomplete and broken, a soul from a fractured world.
Benim tamamlanmam zor, ben yanık rüyalıyımI can’t be made whole again; I’m haunted by scorched dreams.
Ben yarım kaldım yarım, yarım dünyalıyımI’ve been left incomplete and broken, a soul from a fractured world.
Benim tamamlanmam zor, ben yanık rüyalıyımI can’t be made whole again; I’m haunted by scorched dreams.
