Sen Ben
Duman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yüreği kederle doldu
Yanına bir kuş konunca
Düşünü bir an unutmuştu
Bilmeden bir aşka düştü
Yeniden sevmem demişti
Yüreği kanatlanınca
Sözünü bir an unutmuştu
Sen ben içimde
Cümle alem dışımda
Sen ben biçiminde
İyiki varsın yanımda
Kaç sefer delindi gönlü
İçine kapandı durdu
Yarılan yürek olunca
Yeniden bir aşka düşmüştü
The lyrics to Duman's song "Sen Ben" tell the story of a man who is consumed by sorrow and constantly lost in his thoughts. However, when a bird lands on him, he momentarily forgets his worries. The man falls in love without realizing it and vows to never love again, but his heart will not let him keep his promise and he falls in love once more despite his reservations.
The chorus of the song, "Sen Ben içimde, cümle alem dışımda, sen ben biçiminde, iyiki varsın yanımda," roughly translates to "You are inside me, but outside of everything else, you are my shape, and I am glad you are with me." This suggests that the person the man has fallen in love with is a part of him, and he cannot imagine life without them.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of heartbreak, as the man's heart has been broken before and he has closed himself off from love. However, when his heart is broken again, he realizes that he cannot keep himself from falling in love, even if it means risking being hurt again.
Overall, the song speaks to the complexities of love and the way it can consume and change a person despite their best efforts.
