Meyhaneci
çelik Lyrics

"Meyhaneci" by Çelik is a song that tells the story of a man who is spending every night drinking and indulging in festivities at a tavern. The first lyrics "Meyhaneci sarhoşum bu gece" translate to "I'm drunk tonight, tavern owner". The man is infatuated with the music being played and is asking for more to be played. The lyrics "Tak etti canıma yalnız her gece" mean "I'm tired of being lonely every night." This line implies that the reason why he is drinking every night is to escape from loneliness and boredom.

The next verse "İçiyorum her gece, her gece başka bir eğlence" translates to "I drink every night, every night there is a different kind of entertainment." The man believes that life is beautiful when he is happy and in love, so he drinks to find that joy. The chorus repeats the lyrics "patlat bir şarkı, koy bir kadeh, içiyoruz yine bu gece" meaning "play a song, bring a glass, we are drinking again tonight." The man is asking the tavern owner to not stop playing music and let him enjoy the night with his drink.

In the next verse, the lyrics "aşkın asıl adı çilemi sence, ne çilesi babam sanki işkence" translate to "do you think the real name for love is my suffering? It's like torture, my friend." This line implies that the man is in love but it's causing him pain, so he drowns his sorrows with alcohol. The final chorus repeats the request to play music and drink, emphasizing the man's deep desire to escape.
