Aşk ihanetle bir evde kalamıyor
Bıçak gibi kestin bağlarımızı
Bir daha dinleyemeyiz şarkımızı
Söyle uçurumdan atlayan dönebilir mi?
Söyle kanadı kırk yerden kırılmış uçabilir mi?
Söyle bu aşktan ne kaldı ki geriye?
Unut beni, unuttuğum gibi seni
Unut ki beni, yanındakini aldatma
Giden kaybedendir, gittin kaybettin
Bir şehir yakınıma bile yaklaşma
Unut beni, unuttuğum gibi seni
Unut ki beni, yanındakini aldatma
Giden kaybedendir, gittin kaybettin
Bir şehir yakınıma bile yaklaşma
Söyle uçurumdan atlayan dönebilir mi?
Söyle kanadı kırk yerden kırılmış uçabilir mi?
Söyle bu aşktan ne kaldı ki geriye?
Yaptığının ne kadarı sığıyor sevgiye? of
Unut beni, unuttuğum gibi seni
Unut ki beni, yanındakini aldatma
Giden kaybedendir, gittin kaybettin
Bir şehir yakınıma bile yaklaşma
Unut beni, unuttuğum gibi seni
Unut ki beni, yanındakini aldatma
Giden kaybedendir, gittin kaybettin

Bir şehir yakınıma bile yaklaşma of (of)
(Unut beni, unuttuğum gibi seni)
These lyrics are from the song "Unut Beni" (Forget Me) by Bengü. The song talks about the pain of betrayal and the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines suggest that some things are unforgivable, and love cannot exist along with betrayal. The lines "Bıçak gibi kestin bağlarımızı / Bir daha dinleyemeyiz şarkımızı" (You cut our ties like a knife / We can never listen to our song again) convey the deep hurt of losing something that was once cherished.
The chorus ("Unut beni, unuttuğum gibi seni / Unut ki beni, yanındakini aldatma / Giden kaybedendir, gittin kaybettin / Bir şehir yakınıma bile yaklaşma") repeats the plea to forget the singer as she forgot the other person, not to cheat with whoever is next, to accept that leaving makes you the loser and to not come close to her even if you're in the same city.
The closing lines about jumping off a cliff or flying with broken wings suggest that the person who betrayed the singer cannot come back, and whatever love they had can't sustain the damage caused by the betrayal. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the message of the song, to forget the past and move on.
