Sensiz Lyrics English Translation by Berkay
Berkay pours out the emptiness left by a lost lover who rooted deeply in his soul. The performer recalls mundane struggles like deleting photos or discarding belongings. He frames the void with the line ‘without you in this empty silence’ (Sensiz yokluğunda). Each day fades her lingering presence on his pillow.
Gözünden düşmek değil buThis isn’t just losing your favor,
Düştüm adeta uçurumdanI’ve plunged from a literal cliff.
Böyle bize veda edilir mi?Is this really how we say goodbye?
Ne yani, uyandım uykudanSo what, did I just wake from a sleep?
Rüya mıydı her şey?Was everything just a dream?
O gözlerin sonsuza kadarThose eyes of yours, for all eternity,
Benim değil mi?aren’t they mine to keep?
Unutmak sesini çok zorIt’s so hard to forget your voice,
Görmemek yüzünü aslaand to never see your face again.
Her geçen gün azalıyor kokunYour scent is fading more with each passing day,
Yanı başımdaki yastığındaon the pillow right here beside me.
Nasıl silebilirim ki numaranı?How could I ever delete your number?
Telefondaki fotoğraflarını?Or the photos of you on my phone?
Bende kalan tüm eşyalarını?All the things you left behind with me?
Kıyamam atamam aslaI haven’t the heart to throw them away.
Nasıl unuturum sandın?How did you think I’d forget you?
En dibime kök saldınYou’ve taken deep root in my very soul.
Bi’ anda yarım kaldımSuddenly, I’m left incomplete,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Nasıl yaşarım sandınHow did you think I’d survive?
Sen bana bi’ başkaydınYou were someone truly special to me.
Bi’ haftada yaşlandımI’ve aged a lifetime in just a week,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Nasıl unuturum sandın?How did you think I’d forget you?
En dibime kök saldınYou’ve taken deep root in my very soul.
Bi’ anda yarım kaldımSuddenly, I’m left incomplete,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Nasıl yaşarım sandınHow did you think I’d survive?
Sen bana bi’ başkaydınYou were someone truly special to me.
Bi’ haftada yaşlandımI’ve aged a lifetime in just a week,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Gözünden düşmek değil buThis isn’t just about falling out of favor,
Düştüm adeta uçurumdanI’ve essentially plunged off a cliff.
Böyle bize veda edilir mi?Is this truly how things end for us?
Ne yani, uyandım uykudanWhat, did I just wake from a deep sleep?
Rüya mıydı her şey?Was it all nothing more than a dream?
O gözlerin sonsuza kadarThose eyes of yours, for all of time,
Benim değil mi?aren’t they still mine to hold?
Unutmak sesini çok zorForgetting your voice is so difficult,
Görmemek yüzünü aslaand to never see your face again is unbearable.
Her geçen gün azalıyor kokunWith every day, your scent is fading,
Yanı başımdaki yastığındaon the pillow right here beside me.
Nasıl silebilirim ki numaranı?How could I ever bring myself to delete your number?
Telefondaki fotoğraflarını?Or the photos of you kept on my phone?
Bende kalan tüm eşyalarını?Every little thing you left behind with me,
Kıyamam atamam aslaI just can’t bear to cast them away.
Nasıl unuturum sandın?How did you think I’d forget you?
En dibime kök saldınYou’ve taken deep root in my very soul.
Bi’ anda yarım kaldımSuddenly, I’m left incomplete,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Nasıl yaşarım sandınHow did you think I’d survive?
Sen bana bi’ başkaydınYou were someone truly special to me.
Bi’ haftada yaşlandımI’ve aged a lifetime in just a week,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Nasıl unuturum sandın?How did you think I’d forget you?
En dibime kök saldınYou’ve taken deep root in my very soul.
Bi’ anda yarım kaldımSuddenly, I’m left incomplete,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
Nasıl yaşarım sandınHow did you think I’d survive?
Sen bana bi’ başkaydınYou were someone truly special to me.
Bi’ haftada yaşlandımI’ve aged a lifetime in just a week,
Sensiz yokluğundawithout you in this empty silence.
