Güneş Özgeç | Kalben • From “Kayıp Aşıklar Ülkesi”
Kayıp Aşıklar Ülkesi’s O Ben Olurum Turkish Lyrics English Translation
Kalben Sağdıç describes the small details that haunt her, like kisses on a street after a night out. The narrator remembers loving someone deeply but accepts a bitter role in the separation. She declares ‘I will be that one’ (O ben olurum), showing a heartbreaking willingness to sacrifice her own peace for a former lover.
Şimdi beni görsen tanır mısın?If you saw me now, would you recognize me?
Çok değiştim, hazır mısın?I’ve changed so much, are you ready?
Her zaman âşık değilim artıkI’m not constantly in love anymore.
Bi’ gece sarhoştuk, kulüpten dönüyordukWe were drunk one night, coming back from the club.
Sokaklarda öpüşüyordukWe were kissing in the streets.
Hatırlar mısın?Do you remember?
Ne giyiyordumWhat was I wearing?
Sana ne diyordumWhat was I saying to you?
Seni seviyordumI loved you,
Yüz bin kerea hundred thousand times.
Nereye gidiyordunWhere were you heading?
Hiç istemesen deEven though you didn’t want to at all,
Saygı çerçevesinde dost kalıyordun benleyou respectfully stayed friends with me.
AyrılıyordunYou were walking away.
İki taraf da yaşamaya devam etmeli mi?Should both of us just go on living?
Biri mutlaka ölmeliSomeone must surely die.
Biri mutlaka ölmeliSomeone must surely die.
Biri mutlakaSomeone surely must.
O ben olurumI will be that one.
Tamam, ben ölürümAlright, I’ll die.
İki gözüm sana kıyamamMy precious, I couldn’t bear to hurt you.
Sen aşkına bakGo on and tend to your love.
Hem temiz apakIt’s so pure and perfectly white.
Ben gözde çapakI’m just a speck of dirt in your eye.
Hadi beni atSo go ahead and throw me away.
Yine de gülerimI’ll still smile through it.
Yine de gülerimI’ll still smile through it.
Yine de gülerimI’ll still smile through it.
Bu seni iyi bi’ adam yapar mı sence?Do you think this makes you a good man?
Delirdiğimi zannettirinceWhen you make everyone think I’ve lost my mind,
Kalbi inkâr edinceand when you completely deny your heart?
Burada ayrılıncaWhen we separate right here,
Aylarca bende kalıncaafter you stayed with me for months.
Sen güneşli odayı al, ben zaten uyuyamamYou take the sunny room, I can’t sleep anyway,
Sen olmayıncawhenever you aren’t around.
Saçlarımı kuruttun, ben kaburganı kırdımYou dried my hair, but I shattered your ribs.
Tanışmadan önce de sana çok âşıktımI was deeply in love with you even before we met.
Hoşça kal dostum, biri mutlaka ölmeliGoodbye my friend, someone must surely die.
O ben olurum, biri şakama gülmeliI will be that one, someone has to laugh at my joke.
