RÜYA Lyrics English Translation by Buse Ayla
Buse Ayla describes life transformed by obsessive love. The songwriter explains she wasn’t troublesome before, yet admits to crying over photos and ignoring warnings. Her mind spins with unanswered questions, confessing ‘If it’s a dream, don’t wake me up’ (Rüyaysa uyandırma), demanding the dream and her lover stay.
Uzaktım aşktan tanımazdımI was far from love, I didn’t recognize it.
Sende önce yaramazdım ama benim hep yaram azdıI wasn’t troublesome before you, but my wounds were always few.
Bi merhabaya bel bağlamazdımI wouldn’t pin my hopes on a simple hello.
Geceleri bi fotoğrafa ağlamazdımI wouldn’t cry over a photo at night.
Gerçeği bilip yalana inanmazdımKnowing the truth, I wouldn’t have believed a lie.
Kül olup tekrar tekrar aynı ateşte yanmazdımI wouldn’t turn to ash and burn in the same fire over and over again.
Söylüyolar hep ondan olmaz diyolarThey’re always talking, saying it won’t work with him.
Kapalı kulaklarım duymuyorumMy ears are closed, I don’t hear them.
Kalbimden başka sese uymuyorumI don’t listen to any voice but my heart’s.
Aklımda dönüyo her kelimenEvery word of yours spins in my mind.
Sorular kafamda hep bi nedenThere’s always a ‘why’ behind the questions in my head.
Farkım kalmadı ki bi delidenI’m no different from a madwoman now.
Olur muyuz sence biz yenidenDo you think we could be together again?
A yine sabah oldu girdim çıkmazaOh, it’s morning again, I’ve reached a dead end.
Bi duman al bi yudum dahaTake a puff, take one more sip.
Yok fayda, dert yine aynıysaIt’s no use if the trouble is still the same.
Sürekli dön yine en başaConstantly returning to the very beginning.
En başaTo the very beginning.
RüyaysaIf it’s a dream,
Kal yanımdastay by my side.
RüyaysaIf it’s a dream,
Uyandırmadon’t wake me up.
Gece gibi gel olma sabahCome like the night, don’t be the morning.
Gitme hep kal burdaDon’t go, stay here forever.
Senle dursun dünyaLet the world stop with you.
Rüyaysa uyandırmaIf it’s a dream, don’t wake me up.
Kaybol tenimde bana yolu sormaGet lost in my skin, don’t ask me for the way.
Dudakların gezsin hiç durmaLet your lips wander, don’t ever stop.
Fısılda kulağıma adımı her defaWhisper my name in my ear every time.
Çöz beni gecenin en koyu anındaUnravel me in the darkest moment of the night.
Bildiğin gibi değilimI’m not the person you think you know.
Sana var meylimI’ve got a longing for you.
Esiriyim tenininI’m a prisoner of your skin.
Sana hastayım ben deliyim deliyimI’m crazy for you, I’m madly in love.
Gece gibi gel olma sabahCome like the night, don’t be the morning.
Gitme hep kal burdaDon’t go, stay here forever.
Senle dursun dünyaLet the world stop with you.
Rüyaysa uyandırmaIf it’s a dream, don’t wake me up.
UyandırmaDon’t wake me up.
