Bir Yaralı Kuştum
Gaye Su Akyol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keder, feza üstüne
Yayılır elem içimden gökyüzüne
Onu benden çok sevmiş
Paramparça bir hikaye

Ömür ömür üstüne
Yaralar sirayet etmiş her yerime
İzini kaybettim artık
Yarım kaldı bu hikaye

Bi’ yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum, senden uzaklara
Bi’ yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum, senden uzaklara

Acın içimde bıçak
Kesiyor damarlarımdan eski ben’i
Yakalandım sevda çölüne
Su ver yangınıma heyhat

Yıkın bu şehri yıkın
Sokağı, sevdamı, hatıramı yıkın
Geceler saklar sırlarımı
Bitmiyor bu yangın

Bi’ yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum, senden uzaklara




Bi’ yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum, senden uzaklara

Overall Meaning

The song Bir Yaralı Kuştum by Gaye Su Akyol is about heartbreak, pain, and longing. The opening lines ‘Keder, feza üstüne/Yayılır elem içimden gökyüzüne’ set the mood for the whole song, where the singer’s grief and sorrow spread like a cloud in the sky. The second line, ‘Onu benden çok sevmiş/Paramparça bir hikaye’ reveals that the person she loved more than herself has left her, and the relationship is now a broken story. The singer feels lost, and every moment of her life is now shadowed by the wounds inflicted on her by this failed love story.


The singer’s inner turmoil reflects in the lyrics, ‘Ömür ömür üstüne/Yaralar sirayet etmiş her yerime/Izini kaybettim artık/Yarım kaldı bu hikaye’ where she expresses that life after life, the scars of this failed relationship continue to hurt her everywhere. She has lost track of her lover and now the story is incomplete. She then says, ‘Bi’ yaralı kuştum/Uçtum uçtum, senden uzaklara’ which means she is a wounded bird that has flown away from this person who hurt her. She has taken flight, but the pain is still there, and she is still hurt.


The third verse, ‘Acın içimde bıçak/Kesiyor damarlarımdan eski ben’i/Yakalandım sevda çölüne/Su ver yangınıma heyhat’ shows that the pain is so severe that it feels like a knife cutting through her veins, and it has changed her into someone she does not recognize. The love she has for this person has left her stranded in a love desert, and she asks for water to put out the fire that consumed her. The final lines, ‘Yıkın bu şehri yıkın/Sokağı, sevdamı, hatıramı yıkın/Geceler saklar sırlarımı/Bitmiyor bu yangın’ show that the singer wants everything in her life, including the streets and memories, to be destroyed because they all remind her of the person who hurt her. Her secret pain is hidden in the night, and the fire in her heart is still burning.

I'm not Turkish, but I'm in love with this woman. Hoping to see her live one day!

Мария Спектор Same here. I dont understand a word of what she sings, but I love her music. Saw her live last month, and the entired band was great. They had a difficult audience but offered a fantastic show. Highly recommended!

@mariamawt9441

@thinktwice Would I be considered 'difficult audience' if I just stand there looking at her and being completely stunned? Because that's what I would feel :)

@Maria Spektor @thinktwice
Hi! I have a question. What do you feel when you hear Turkish lyrics? I wonder your feel about Turkish diction.

her vocal tone is beautiful & the way she sings is kind of hypnotising. i love the way she mixes musical genres. her lyrics & imagery are also interesting. she’s becoming one of my favourite artists

@gracie99999

yup she’s pretty awesome..
I’m finding a lot of music for about ten years or so ago pretty damn good

@LongLifeShort

Whoever she is, she has a really complex voice, even at a slower rate of singing, which is hard to pull off.

Gaye, sözde kraliçe, bestede kraliçe, klipte kraliçe, orijinallikte zaten kraliçe. Kendi sevdiği müziklerden kopmayan, birini tercih etmeyen kraliçe. Hem Türk sanat müziği sevdalısı, hem rockcı. Sen ne eşsiz kadınsın ya
