Edip Akbayram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toprak olmuş umutları
Gökte mazi bulutları
Bu mezarda bir garip var, garip
Hızlı hızlı giden yolcu
Bu mezarda bir garip var
Bu mezarda bir garip var, garip
İzi bile yok dünyada
Onu aramak beyhude
Ne gezersin bu ovada
Bu mezarda bir garip var, garip
The lyrics to Edip Akbayram's song Garip reflect on the inevitability of death and the transience of human life. The opening lines describe the decaying green grass and dashed hopes that have turned to soil while the clouds of the past linger in the sky. The song speaks of a lonely grave where an unknown person rests with no trace of their existence left behind. The second verse refers to the passing of time, urging the listener not to waste their life in futile pursuits but to cherish and make the most of the time they have.
The imagery used in the song is both poignant and reflective. The green grass, clouds in the sky, and grave refer to the fleeting nature of existence, highlighting the inevitability of death. The tone of the song is melancholic, urging the listener to reflect on the impermanence of life and to make the most of what time they have.
Overall, the song Garip speaks to a universal human experience - the knowledge that we will all one day leave this world, and the importance of living a meaningful life in the time we have.
