aşk hep sende
Cem Adrian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kalbini kim kırdı...
Artık mavi değil mi denizler, gökyüzü eskisi gibi...
Kanatlarını kim çaldı...
Artık sende değil mi umutların, bu sessizliğin eskisi gibi...
Al! sar kendini bu tülden duayla sarın üşüme gelir geçer de kendine...
Çarp! savur kendini bu yalnız şarkıyla, itiraf et kendine o gitti...

Bir adam severken, bir adam giderse...

Bir adam gülümserken, diğeri ölürse...
Gözyaşın düşerken, sözlerin biterse...
Ardından uzanırken, ellerin titrerse...

Öyle kal, öyle kal...
Aşk hep sende!

Overall Meaning

In Cem Adrian's song "Aşk Hep Sende", the lyrics speak of a broken heart and the pain of lost love. It is about the emotions that someone goes through when they lose the person they love most. The singer asks who broke the heart and caused the pain that is reflected in the changing world - the once blue sea has lost its color, the sky is not the same as it used to be, and the hope that used to reside in the heart is now lost in the silence. The song encourages the listener to hold onto the hope that they will eventually overcome their pain and to embrace their loneliness instead of fighting it. The lyrics ultimately assert that love is always in one's heart, even when the person they love is gone.
