Turkish Riddim Meaning & Lyrics (Buse Ayla)
Buse Ayla describes a partner who is emotionally paralyzed and destructive. She confesses to smashing everything in her house, showing how her external chaos mirrors her shattered heart. The songwriter paints a vivid picture of emotional murder, declaring ‘He’s a murderer of emotions’ (Duyguların katili o). She stays up all night talking to the walls, caught between her happiest memories and her current misery.
Ne gelebiliyoHe can’t move forward,
Ne gidebiliyoand he can’t walk away.
Aşkı oyun zannediyoHe thinks love’s just a game;
Ne sevebiliyohe doesn’t know how to love.
Ne vazgeçiyoHe won’t let go,
Duyguların katili obut he’s a murderer of emotions.
O gece beni görmeliydinYou should’ve seen me that night;
Oldum delinin tekiI completely lost my mind.
Kırdım her şeyiI smashed everything to pieces,
Yıktım evi ettimand I tore the whole house down.
Kalbim gibiJust like my heart,
Paramparçait’s all shattered now.
Oturdum yaktım bi sigaraI sat down and lit a cigarette,
Önümde sorunlarlawith my problems staring me down.
Konuştum sabaha kadar duvarlarlaI talked to the walls until morning,
Kalbimin en mutlu olduğu yerleabout the place where my heart was happiest.
En mutsuz olduğu yer senin kalbin hem de aynı andaYet at the same time, your heart’s where it’s the most miserable.
Ne gelebiliyoHe can’t move forward,
Ne gidebiliyoand he can’t walk away.
Aşkı oyun zannediyoHe thinks love’s just a game.
Ne sevebiliyoHe doesn’t know how to love,
Ne vazgeçiyoand he won’t give up.
Duyguların katili oHe’s a murderer of emotions.
SormaDon’t ask.
Duymak istemeyeceğinI might be forced to say things
Şeyler söylemek zorunda kalabilirimthat you won’t want to hear.
DurmaDon’t stay.
Git yoksa sonunu bile bileLeave, or even though I know the ending,
Yine sana kal diyebilirimI might still ask you to stay.
Aşktan anlamazsın senYou don’t understand love;
Güzel ne varsa onu harcarsın senyou waste everything beautiful you find.
Taştan mı varoldun senWere you created out of stone?
Sunuldu sana cennet kaybettin senHeaven was offered to you, but you lost it.
Ne gelebiliyoHe can’t move forward,
Ne gidebiliyoand he can’t walk away.
Aşkı oyun zannediyoHe thinks love’s just a game.
Ne sevebiliyoHe doesn’t know how to love,
Ne vazgeçiyoand he won’t let go.
Duyguların katili oHe’s the murderer of my emotions.
