Burcu Güneş Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her vuruşunda kalbim ağlıyor, ağlıyor ince ince
Ses ver sana zalim demeye dilim varmıyor
Ah, aşk affedilmişliğine minnet et diyor
Senin eşin bir benzerin yok
Ben aşkı sende bildim
Zulümlerin hüzün vermiyor
Gözlerinde bıraktım aşkı sevdayı
Yok diyemem hiç bir şeye değişemem ki bu rüyayı
Sende öyle, bir yürek var ki bu dünyayı yak istersen
Geri dönüş, kaçınılmaz olur aşk gözlerimdeyken
Gel, benim baktığım yerden bir bak kendine
Gör, hayatımın senden öncesi hatırlanmıyor bile
Sus, söylemediğin sözleri duydum saydım üzülme
Biz, iki kişilik bir dünya yarattık ya seninle
Senin eşin bir benzerin yok
Ben aşkı sende bildim
Zulümlerin hüzün vermiyor
Önce Allah, sonra sensin
Gözlerinde bıraktım aşkı sevdayı
Yok diyemem hiç bir şeye değişemem ki bu rüyayı
Sende öyle, bir yürek var ki bu dünyayı yak istersen
Geri dönüş, kaçınılmaz olur aşk gözlerimdeyken
Gözlerinde bıraktım aşkı, sevdayı
Yok diyemem hiç bir şeye değişemem ki bu rüyayı
Sende öyle, bir yürek var ki bu dünyayı yak istersen
Geri dönüş, kaçınılmaz olur aşk gözlerimdeyken
The lyrics to Burcu Günes' "Gözlerinde Biraktim Aski" are about a deep love that the singer has for someone, who she believes is incomparable to anyone else. The first verse suggests that the singer has given her heart to this person, with just a simple gesture of a stick and a sweet word, but it causes her heart to ache with every beat. Despite the pain, the singer cannot bring herself to call this person cruel, instead suggesting that she is thankful for the forgiveness that love brings. The chorus then emphasizes the intensity of the love the singer feels for this person, with her saying that she cannot deny the love and that she cannot change this dream-like state.
The second verse reinforces the fact that this person is unique, with the singer stating that she learned what love really is through them. Despite any suffering she has endured, the singer places this person above all else, followed only by Allah. The bridge is a combination of advice and reflections, with the singer encouraging this person to look beyond their current perspective to see the depth of their love. She also admits that she has heard unspoken words but that despite everything, they have created their own world together. The song ends with the chorus being repeated twice, emphasizing the fact that the love the singer has left in this person's eyes will inevitably lead to a return.

نمای کلیمتن ترانههاویدیوهاگوش کردن
دلم را با شاخه ای خشک، با کلمه ای شیرین بگیر
Al gönlümü bir kuru dalla, bir tatlı sözle
با هر ضربان قلبم گریه می کند، نازک گریه می کند
Her vuruşunda kalbim ağlıyor, ağlıyor ince ince
حرف بزن، من از اینکه تو را "بی رحم" خطاب کنم سیر نمی شوم
Ses ver, sana "Zalim" demeye dilim varmıyor
آه، عشق می گوید "برای بخشش سپاسگزار باش"
Ah, aşk "Affedilmişliğine minnet et" diyor
شما برابری ندارید
Senin eşin, bir benzerin yok
عشق را در تو شناختم
Ben aşkı sende bildim
آزار و اذیت شما من را ناراحت نمی کند
Zulümlerin hüzün vermiyor
اول خدا بعد تو
Önce Allah, sonra sensin
عشق را در چشمانت جا گذاشتم، عشق
Gözlerinde bıraktım aşkı, sevdayı
نمی توانم بگویم نه، نمی توانم این رویا را با هیچ چیز تغییر دهم
Yok diyemem, hiçbir şeye değişemem ki bu rüyayı
تو چنان دل داری که اگر بخواهی این دنیا را بسوزانی
Sende öyle bir yürek var ki bu dünyayı yak istersen
وقتی عشق در چشمان من است، بازگشت اجتناب ناپذیر است
Geri dönüş kaçınılmaz olur aşk gözlerimdeyken
بیا از جایی که من نگاه میکنم به خودت نگاه کن
Gel, benim baktığım yerden bir bak kendine
ببین، زندگی من حتی قبل از تو به یاد نمی آید
Gör, hayatımın senden öncesi hatırlanmıyor bile
خفه شنیدم حرفایی که نگفتی شمردم غصه نخور
Sus, söylemediğin sözleri duydum, saydım, üzülme
ما با تو دنیایی برای دو نفر ایجاد کردیم
Biz iki kişilik bir dünya yarattık ya seninle
شما برابری ندارید
Senin eşin, bir benzerin yok
عشق را در تو شناختم
Ben aşkı sende bildim
آزار و اذیت شما من را ناراحت نمی کند
