Kayahan was born in Izmir, on March 29th, 1949. He spent his childhood and young adulthood years in Ankara before moving to Istanbul.
The songs which were written and composed by Kayahan and sung by Nilüfer are some of the most well-known Turkish pop songs. Throughout his career, Kayahan sang only his songs and each album of his had a different theme.
"Yoksun gözlü sevgilim", the very first album by Kayahan, was released in 1976.
In 1993, he released "Son Şarkılarım" which featured 10 songs all written by himself. That year he gave a concert in Kızılay, Ankara for an audience of 260.000. Two years later, Kayahan followed up with "Benim Penceremden". Two songs from that album ("Ben Anadolu Çocuğuyum" and "Allahım Neydi Günahım") were very popular and both covered by other singers later on.
His last album "Biriciğim'e" was realased on 8 March 2007.
Beni Azad Et
Kayahan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bir tek ben ağlarım
Kimseyi bağlamaz
Bu yükü ben taşırım
Sanma tek gün bile
Vicdanım sızlamaz
Olan olmuş bir kere
Baştan yazılmaz
Ne ileriye ne de
Geriye yolum yok
Ne bi çıkışım ne de
Bi kaçışım yok
Ya benide al ya da
Şuraya terk et
Allah aşkına
Beni azad et
The above lyrics are from Kayahan's song "Beni Azad Et," which translates to "Set Me Free" in English. The song is about a person who is burdened by their life and is pleading to be set free from it. They are crying alone, without anyone understanding their pain. The singer emphasizes that they are the only one who can carry this weight and it doesn't affect anyone else. The person's conscience doesn't bother them, whether it's today or tomorrow because they have accepted their fate. The singer is conveying that the situation cannot be changed or rewritten, it must be accepted.
Furthermore, the lines also signify that there's no way out or solution to their problems. They have no escape, no alternative option, and they have no chance of moving forward as well as moving backward. The person is stuck in a situation where they can't do anything but ask for liberation from their suffering. They only have two options left, either to take them with them or leave them behind. They are begging God to release them from their anguish, to make themselves free from the pain they're going through.
In conclusion, the song is about the feelings of helplessness, pain, and a need for freedom from these emotions. The lyrics express the hopelessness of the person's situation as well as their acceptance of whatever fate has in store for them.
