Seyfullah Sağır writes from the perspective of someone lost in the city’s chaos at twenty-six. The narrator feels overwhelmed by competition and uncertainty, begging for space to process the emotional wreckage. The lyrics explain that some things ‘don’t fade with time’ (Geçmez zamanla), referring to the lingering memories of a lost love that still haunt them.
İstanbul’un telaşındayımI’m in the rush of Istanbul.
Bi’ kaldırım taşındayımI’m on a paving stone.
Yirmi altı yaşındayımI’m twenty-six years old.
Bi’ durun, üstüme gelmeyinWait a minute, don’t pressure me.
Bir sidik yarışındayımI’m in a petty competition.
Ben neyin savaşındayım?What kind of war am I fighting?
Oo! Bana zaman gerekOh! I need time.
Evet, bana zaman gerekYes, I need time.
Oo! Geçmez zamanlaOh! It doesn’t fade with time,
Bana senden kalanlarwhat’s left of you with me.
Oo! Bana zaman gerekOh! I need time.
Evet, bana zaman gerekYes, I need time.
Oo! Geçmez zamanlaOh! It doesn’t fade with time,
Bana senden kalanlarwhat’s left of you with me.
Yollarında divaneI’m losing my mind on your roads.
Her gün farklı bi’ sayendeyimEvery day I’m in a different state because of you.
Ellerindeyim, daha ne?I’m in your hands, what else?
Sırlarında bi’ âlemdeyimI’m in another world within your secrets.
Dertlerim büyük, oo!My troubles are huge, oh!
Sırtlarımda yaban eldeyimWith burdens on my back, I’m in a foreign land.
Yüzde farklı ifadeA different expression on my face,
Ben kimim, nerelerdeyim?who am I, where am I?
Yanındayım, seninleyimI’m by your side, I’m with you.
Hiç olmadığım biriyleyimI’m with someone I’ve never been before.
Seçtiğin tarafındayım, ahI’m on the side you chose, ah.
Çektiğin nefesindeyimI’m in the breath you take.
Yarın mı, dün mü belli değilIt’s not clear if it’s tomorrow or yesterday.
Zaman kayar, elimde değilTime slips away, it’s out of my hands.
İstediğimse belli, senBut what I want is clear, it’s you.
Karar senin, benim değilThe decision is yours, not mine.
