İstiklal Caddesi Kadar
Şebnem Ferah Lyrics

The lyrics to Şebnem Ferah's song İstiklal Caddesi Kadar reflect a deep sense of longing and reflection on a past love. The tears that flow from the singer's eyes have never reached the person they are meant for, as they are lost in a sea of emotion. Despite their efforts, the relationship could not be salvaged and the singer is left to reminisce on a street they dreamed of for nights on end. Although they held hands for only half an hour, it was a moment that burned bright and will never be forgotten. As they ponder how much they could have loved each other and how much of a mark they left on each other's lives, the singer remembers every moment, just as vividly as the bustling Istiklal Caddesi street.

The singer has held onto every memory, stored them away in their own personal vault for safekeeping. They have searched for hope in the future, even while being surrounded by the history of the past. The person they loved has touched their soul and every fibre of their being, like slipping into a prison cell, their touch a bittersweet drop in a sea of emotions. Words slip away, scattered to the corners, until there is nothing left but a period mark.
In short, the lyrics of the song İstiklal Caddesi Kadar is an ode to a lost love, a look back at the memories that remain, and the lingering sense of hope for what is yet to come.
