Gün Gelecek
Funda Arar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gün gelecek bu hüzün beni öldürecek
Gün gelecek ölümümün sebebini bir hüzün bilecek

Bütün İstanbul emniyeti seferber
Aranmayan sorulmayan kalmayacak
Zanlılar çok ama kanıt yok
Tüm eski aşklarım sorgulanacak birer birer

Annem çok ağlayacak ardımdan
Niye sıradan bir ölümüm olmadı ki sanki
Hani yani kanserden yada belki ecelden
Zaten o hep müdür olmamı isterdi

Gün gelecek bu hüzün beni öldürecek
Ölümümün sebebini bir tek kendisi bilecek

Hani o çok sevdiğim
Yüreği mi yaralayan
Beni terk eden sevgilim var ya
O da gelir mi ki cenazeme

Ağlar mı ki ardımdan
Neyse şimdi bir cinayet var çözülecek

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Funda Arar's song Gün Gelecek depict the thoughts of someone who is contemplating their own death. The first verse expresses the belief that the singer's sadness will eventually consume them and cause their demise. The second verse continues with the notion that only the sadness associated with their death will know the true cause of it.

The following verse mentions that the entire police force will be mobilized, and anyone even remotely connected to the singer will be questioned regarding the circumstances surrounding their death. Despite the number of suspects there may be, there is still no concrete evidence to convict anyone. The fourth verse mentions the singer's mother and her grief, as well as her disappointment that his death was not of a more significant cause, such as cancer, for example. She had always wanted him to achieve a high position in life, and death was not the way she envisioned it.

The chorus repeats the idea that the sadness within the singer will be their undoing and the cause of their death. The final verse returns to the topic of the singer's former love interest and the lingering question of whether or not they will attend the singer's funeral or cry for them after their death. The song ends with the singer referencing a crime that needs solving, perhaps implying a desire to live and see it get solved.
