TEK KİŞİLİK MASA’s YANILIR GİBİ Turkish Lyrics English Translation
Mabel Matiz describes the quiet moment when love ends, noting how the sun seems different and the world is pulled away. The narrator decides to leave rather than stay in a painful situation, declaring ‘I can’t stay here with you, this is the final act’ (Kalamam senle burda artık bu son perde). The poet compares her heart to a patched cardigan shivering in its own wind, a sign she built this love only to tear it down herself.
Gördüm bi’ sabahI saw it one morning,
Güneşi başka türlü gözlerindethe sun looked different in your eyes.
Gülmüyordun sanki çekilirken dünyaYou weren’t smiling as the world was pulled,
Ayaklarımın altındanright from under my feet,
Bilmiyordumand I had no idea.
Ve ben kayıp düşerken o beyaz ellerindenAnd as I slipped and fell from your pale hands,
Günler karardı baklook how the days turned so dark.
Yerine koydum bi’ yaslı gölgeI placed a mourning shadow in your stead,
Hani anıların solduğu yerderight there where our memories fade away.
Bir kez daha vurulduk, ahWe were struck down once again, oh.
Kalamam senle burda artık bu son perdeI can’t stay here with you, this is the final act.
Yapamam, giderim yanılır gibi sevmektenseI can’t do it, I’d rather leave than love like it’s a mistake.
Ne çıkar kırıyosa? Öğrendim kendimi aşklaSo what if it breaks me? I’ve learned who I am through love.
Temize çekilir inan her kalp kendisiyleBelieve me, every heart eventually cleanses itself.
Kalamam senle burda artık bu son perdeI can’t stay here with you, this is the final act.
Yapamam giderim yanılır gibi sevmektenseI can’t do it, I’d rather leave than love like it’s a mistake.
Ne çıkar kırıyosa? Öğrendim kendimi aşklaSo what if it breaks me? I’ve learned who I am through love.
Temize çekilir inan her kalp kendisiyleBelieve me, every heart eventually cleanses itself.
Gönlüm kendi rüzgârında üşüyenMy heart shivers in its own bitter wind,
Yamalı bir hırkalike a patched and tattered cardigan.
Şimdi, olsunBut for now, let it be.
O kumdan kaleyi ben ellerimle yapmıştımI built that sandcastle with my own two hands,
Yıktım gittiand I simply tore it down.
Ve sen kopup giderken aklımın iplerindenAnd as you break free from the tethers of my mind,
Günler karardı baklook how the days turned so dark.
Yerine koydum bi’ yaslı gölgeI placed a mourning shadow in your stead,
Hani anıların solduğu yerderight there where our memories fade away.
Bir kez daha vurulduk, ahWe were struck down once again, oh.
Kalamam senle burda artık bu son perdeI can’t stay here with you, this is the final act.
Yapamam giderim yanılır gibi sevmektenseI can’t do it, I’d rather leave than love like it’s a mistake.
Ne çıkar kırıyosa? Öğrendim kendimi aşklaSo what if it breaks me? I’ve learned who I am through love.
Temize çekilir inan her kalp kendisiyleBelieve me, every heart eventually cleanses itself.
Kalamam senle burda artık bu son perdeI can’t stay here with you, this is the final act.
Yapamam giderim yanılır gibi sevmektenseI can’t do it, I’d rather leave than love like it’s a mistake.
Ne çıkar kırıyosa? Öğrendim kendimi aşklaSo what if it breaks me? I’ve learned who I am through love.
Temize çekilir inan her kalp kendisiyleBelieve me, every heart eventually cleanses itself.
The meaning behind ‘YANILIR GIBI’ is about choosing self-respect over mistaken love. Featuring Selin, this song from TEK KISILIK MASA offers a clear, sentimental goodbye.
