Köprüalti
Duman Lyrics

The lyrics of Duman's song "Köprüaltı" describe the singer's desire to reunite with a past lover. The opening line, "Denizler aştım geliyorum" (I've crossed oceans, I'm coming), suggests that the singer has traveled far, perhaps physically or emotionally, to reach the person they address in the song. The singer wants to have fun with this person ("İster eğlen benimle"), and seeing their face would be enough to make them happy ("Yüzünü bi görsem yeter").

Despite their desire to be with this person, the singer acknowledges that their paths have diverged ("Yolumuz ayrı biliyorum"). They want to hold this person's waist one last time before they die, suggesting that they are aware this reunion may be their last chance to be together ("Ölmeden son bir defa/Belini kavrasam yeter"). The setting for this reunion is under an old bridge ("Eski köprünün altında"), where no one can see them ("Kimseler görmesin/Kimseler bilmesin/Kimseler duymasın").

The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia, as well as a bittersweetness in the singer's desires. The repetition of the bridge setting and the plea for secrecy add to this feeling of fleetingness and transience.
