Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dedim kendim bile inanmadim,
kaciyorum yalan ellerinden,
kör olasi gözlerden,
inan icim yanar inan
biliyorum...
Refrain
her gün ölüyor, agliyorum yine
benden gidiyor, giden aska direniyorum...
Ah, yine, yine son bahar,
daliyorum yine sensiz,
uzak diyarlara, kaciyorum
yalan ellerinden,
kör olasi gözlerden,
inan icim yanar,
inan biliyorum...
Refrain
The lyrics of Hakan Peker's "Bir Seviyorum Bir Sevmiyorum" convey the difficult emotional struggle of being in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate these feelings. The singer expresses that despite the pain and heartache caused by this unrequited love, they can't seem to let go and instead continue to hold on and suffer. In the opening lines, the singer says that they are leaving for the last time, but even they don't believe that they're capable of leaving behind the person they love.
The refrain of the song emphasizes the dichotomy of loving and not loving at the same time. The singer feels like a part of them dies every day because they're plagued by their unreturned feelings. They cry and grieve over and over again. Despite everything, they resist the urge to completely let go of the love that's slipping away. The singer's pain is compounded by the fact that the person they love is leaving, and they struggle to come to terms with it.
The song also makes reference to running away from the situation ("kaciyorum yalan ellerinden") and the pain that this entails ("inan icim yanar"). The singer knows that they need to get away, but at the same time, they can't escape the love that haunts them even as they try to leave. Overall, "Bir Seviyorum Bir Sevmiyorum" is a poignant and emotional ballad that captures the heartache that comes with loving someone who doesn't love you back.
