Kolay Mı Unutmak
Hakan Peker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bir gün sende beni ararsın.
Bir hasret seni yakar,
Deli bir özlem sarar,
Ağlarsın...

Geri dönmek istersin.
Eski bir şarkıya kanar,
Birden gözlerin dolar,
Ağlarsın...

Elimde değil unutmak seni.
Kaçsamda kovalar anılar beni.




Boş hayallere sarılır gibi.
Kolay mı unutmak bir anda seni

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from Hakan Peker's song "Kolay mı Unutmak" (Is it easy to forget?). The song is about a lost love and the pain that comes with trying to move on. The first stanza talks about how the person who left ("sen") will eventually miss the singer and feel the pain of longing and sadness ("hasret" and "özlem"). The lyric "ağlarsın" which means "you cry" is repeated, suggesting that the emotions are intense and overwhelming.


The second stanza is about the singer's struggle to forget the person who left. Despite their efforts to move on ("kaçsamda" which means "even if I run"), memories of their past love still haunt them ("anılar beni kovalar"). We get a sense that they are stuck in a cycle of pain as they are trapped in "boş hayaller," or empty dreams. The lyric "kolay mı unutmak bir anda seni" which means "is it easy to forget you in an instant?" is repeated, driving home the idea that forgetting this person is a nearly impossible feat.


Overall, the lyrics of "Kolay mı Unutmak" convey the intense emotions of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The song's melancholic melody and Hakan Peker's emotive vocals add to the overall mood of the piece.
