Bengü Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bu aralar uzak tut bizden
Kalp düşmanı o hain gururu
Bu aralar sakın bizden
Özetle ben aşığım çok
Özetle ben hastayım çok
En deli aşk halimi hep sana sakladım ben
Artık sen de hislensen diyorum
Çocuğumuzun bile adını buldum ben
Seven küçük detaylara bozuluyor
İşte bir anlayabilsen
Ve ilgisiz soluyor kuruyor her çiçek
Yüzüne döndürebilsen
Özetle ben aşığım çok
Özetle ben hastayım çok
Bengü - Artık Sevmeyeceğim Şarkı Sözü
The first verse talks about the last drop that spills over from the glass – the final straw that breaks the camel's back. It urges the subject to stay away from the writer, who sees pride as an enemy to the heart. The second verse indicates that the writer is deeply in love and has found it difficult to express their feelings, but in small bits, they have been able to remain sane. The third verse pleads with the subject to reciprocate feelings, and for some intimacy with small details. The fourth verse speaks about the subject's neglect, causing the flowers to wither away. The chorus re-echoes the writer's feelings: "In summary, I'm very in love. In summary, I'm very sick. I've always kept my wildest love for you."

Bardağı taşıran son damlayı
The last drop that overflowed the glass
Bu aralar uzak tut bizden
Keep away from us these days
Kalp düşmanı o hain gururu
That treacherous pride is the enemy of the heart
Bu aralar sakın bizden
Don't come near us these days
Özetle ben aşığım çok
In summary, I am very much in love
Özetle ben hastayım çok
In summary, I am very sick
En deli aşk halimi hep sana sakladım ben
I have always hidden my craziest love for you
Taptığın o şarkılara seni yazdım ben
I wrote you into those songs you adore
Artık sen de hislensen diyorum
I'm telling you to start feeling too
Çocuğumuzun bile adını buldum ben
I even found the name for our child
Seven küçük detaylara bozuluyor
I get upset over small details related to love
İşte bir anlayabilsen
If only you could understand
Ve ilgisiz soluyor kuruyor her çiçek
Every flower withers and dies apathetically
Yüzüne döndürebilsen
If only you could turn your face to me
Özetle ben aşığım çok
In summary, I am very much in love
Özetle ben hastayım çok
In summary, I am very sick
