Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gel artik gel beni uzme
Ararim tararim bulamadim
Ne care bi teselli bu huzne
Sanki biri arkamdan itti
Bir cift yesile aktim
Aylardan mayis gunlerden hidirellez
Bir erkege adak kendimi yaktim
Ben ogun bugundur iflah olamadim
Canim sikintida yuregim darda
O gun bugundur yere goge sigmadim
Aklim kaldi o hain yarda
The lyrics of Ayşegül Aldinç's song Aylardan Mayıs describe a feeling of helplessness and heartbreak. The singer is suffering from sleepless nights, unable to find any comfort from the pain of their heartache. Despite their best efforts to search and find solace, they have been unsuccessful. They feel as if they have been pushed from behind and have floated along the passing greenery.
The lyrics then refer to the month of May and the day of Hidirellez, a traditional celebration in Turkish culture. The singer makes an offering of themselves to a man, burning with devotion. However, despite their attempts to move on and forget their heartache, they remain unable to be at peace. They are still tormented by their thoughts and memories of the person who wronged them.
The song resonates with those who have experienced heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from a painful situation. The lyrics convey a feeling of being lost and helpless in the face of heartbreak, as well as a longing for the pain to end. The reference to Hidirellez also adds cultural significance to the song, highlighting the importance of traditions in Turkish culture.
