Özlemek kolay mı?
Dedim, ayrılık olmasın, canımız yanmasın
Dinlesen duyardın
Son bi'kaç gündür
Ben de özlüyorum
Sana ait her şeyi
Her şeyi göze al geleceksen
Bi' daha yaparsan affetmem
Arkana bak da düşün yeniden
Gururumuzdu bizi deviren
İçime dolan tüm korkuları
Denize bıraktım sahilden
Arkana bak da düşün yeniden
Ne fark eder ki sen ya da ben?
İçime dolan tüm korkuları
Denize bıraktım sahilden
Ayrılık zor şey
Özlemek kolay mı?
Dedim, ayrılık olmasın, canımız yanmasın
Dinlesen duyardın

The lyrics to Burcu Güneş's song Sahilden express the difficulty of separation and the emotions that come with missing someone. The opening lines "Ayrılık zor şey, Özlemek kolay mı?" (Translation: "Separation is tough, is missing easy?") set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer then wishes for the separation to end and for the pain to stop, suggesting that if the listener had only listened, they would understand how difficult this situation is for them.
In the second verse, the singer admits to missing everything about the person they are separated from, even burning their picture and crying. However, they also warn that if this pain is caused again, forgiveness will not come as easily. The chorus returns with the same message of reflection and the singer throwing their fears into the sea, releasing them from their life.
Overall, the song depicts the raw emotions of a separation, the pain of missing someone, and the struggle for closure and acceptance.
