Be Deli
Burak Kut Lyrics

The lyrics to Burak Kut's song "Be Deli" speak of a breakup and the singer's frustration with their former partner. The chorus urges the ex-lover not to come back, as they will be rejected and sent away ("Gelme artık buraya / Giderler başka kapıya / Affedermiyim seni / İtirafın reddedildi" - "Don't come back here / They'll go to another door / Will I forgive you? / Your confession was rejected"). The verses speak more directly to the ex-partner, with the singer asking if they ever thought they were irreplaceable ("Ne sandın be deli / Vazgeçilmez mi sandın kendini" - "What did you think, you crazy one / Did you think you were irreplaceable?") and mentioning that the singer has moved on and is enjoying their life without them ("Burada keyfim şahane / Seni Allah'a etmişim havale" - "My mood is great here / I've left you in God's hands").

The theme of the song is one of empowerment and self-respect after a breakup. The singer has clearly been hurt by their ex-partner's actions ("İhanettin bedelini" - "You paid the price for your betrayal"), but they have moved forward with their life and do not want to be weighed down by the past. The use of the word "deli" (crazy) adds a slightly playful tone to the lyrics, as if the singer is almost amused by their former partner's attempts to win them back.

Interestingly, the song has become somewhat of an anthem for Turkish women, particularly those who have experienced domestic violence or emotional abuse. The line "Seni istemiyorum eh daha ne" ("I don't want you, what more is there to say?") has been quoted in social media posts and protest signs as a way of rejecting toxic relationships and asserting one's own worth.
