Emre Altuğ was born in Levent, Istanbul as the second son to a housewife mother and dentist father. He graduated in Theatrical Studies from the State Conservatory of Istanbul University. He acted on stage in various plays and sang backing vocals to such established artists like Sezen Aksu, Sertab Erener, Levent Yüksel or Nilüfer, before his first album, entitled İbreti Alem (A Lesson to Everyone) was released in 1999.
In 2000 he sang a song called Bir de bana sor (Ask Me, Too) for Melih Kıbar's album entitled Yadıgar. The song became a huge hit with radio stations. His second album, Sıcak (Hot) was released in 2003. In the meantime he appeared in commercials, television films and feature films, like Kolay Para (Easy Money). His third album, Dudak Dudağa (Lip to Lip) came out in 2004, followed by Sensiz Olmuyor (Won't Work Without You) a year later. The song, which the album was named after, became the theme song of a television series that was given the same title (Sensiz Olmuyor) and in which Emre played the leading character. The series was aired on Show TV. In June 2007 he released his latest album Kişiye Özel (Personal).
Emre is planning to release an English album, for which he travelled to the USA and is about to start work with Mark Feist and Damon Sharpe (who have worked with such artists like Anastacia or Jennifer Lopez and are the producers and co-writers of the charity song Come Together Now), who found Emre's voice outstanding and have already started to work on four songs with him.

Su Gibisin
Emre Altuğ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gecenin sabaha hasreti gibi bekledim
İstedim seni ah nasıl arzuladım
Susuz kalmış toprak gibi
Yağmuruna muhtacım
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Akıp gider zaman sen dönmezsin
Gafil avlandım seline yenildim
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Akıp gider zaman sen dönmezsin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Gafil avlandım seline yenildim
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
Teselli yok ki hiç
Ayrılık ok gibi saplanmış kalbime
Anlayan yok halimi
Ses vermez mi duyan haykırışlarımı
Yalnızlık zor iş be kardeş
Kim doğru, kim kalleş?
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Akıp gider zaman sen dönmezsin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Gafil avlandım seline yenildim
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Akıp gider zaman sen dönmezsin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Gafil avlandım seline yenildim
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Akıp gider zaman sen dönmezsin
Su gibisin, su gibisin
Gafil avlandım seline yenildim
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
The lyrics to Emre Altuğ's song Su Gibisin express the intense longing for someone who has been deeply missed. The singer compares this person to water, always flowing and unchanging, while time passes by without them. They express their desire, yearning and helplessness, comparing themselves to parched soil waiting for rain. The comparison of the subject of the song to water is a common metaphor for life, and the source of life, and the singer implies that their loved one is the source of their own life as well.
The lyrics also reveal a sense of loneliness and isolation as the singer tries to make sense of their feelings. They feel trapped and wounded by the separation, and the only comfort they seem to have is the person they are missing. The line "Anlayan yok halimi" ("Nobody understands my situation") further emphasizes the singer's sense of isolation.
Overall, the song is a melancholy plea for the return of a loved one, someone whom the singer cannot live without.

Özledim seni ah nasıl özledim
I missed you so much, oh how I missed you
Gecenin sabaha hasreti gibi bekledim
I waited for you like night waiting for morning
İstedim seni ah nasıl arzuladım
I wanted you so much, oh how I desired you
Susuz kalmış toprak gibi
Like dry land thirsty for water
Yağmuruna muhtacım
I am in need of your rain
Su gibisin, su gibisin
You are like water, you are like water
Akıp gider zaman sen dönmezsin
Time passes and you never come back
Gafil avlandım seline yenildim
I was trapped unaware and succumbed to your current
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
You are the one who gives life to my soul
Teselli yok ki hiç
There's no consolation at all
Ayrılık ok gibi saplanmış kalbime
Separation has pierced my heart like an arrow
Anlayan yok halimi
No one understands my condition
Ses vermez mi duyan haykırışlarımı
Doesn't anyone hear my screams?
Yalnızlık zor iş be kardeş
Loneliness is a tough job, my friend
Kim doğru, kim kalleş?
Who's honest, who's deceitful?
Ruhuma hayat veren sensin
You are the one who gives life to my soul
