Leman Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Birimiz þiþede þarap
Birimiz kadehte þampanya
Ýkimiz ömür boyu çakýr keyif
Baþýmýzda kavak yelleri esiyormuþ, essin
Adam sen de kayfimiz yerinde
La, la, la
Biz bir daðýn bulutuyuz aslýnda
Ýçimiz buselik
Dýþýmýz hüzünler içinde
Ýkimiz ömür boyu birlikte
Biz bir günün gecesiyiz aslýnda
Özümüz gökteki yýldýzlar
Sözümüz sevmeler üstüne
Hepimiz ömür boyu sevdalý
In Leman Sam's song "Kavak Yelleri", the lyrics are reflective and introspective, as the artist examines the nature of the relationship between two people who are, essentially, two sides of the same coin. The lyrics suggest that while on the surface, the two individuals may seem very different from each other, the reality is that they share a deep connection that unites them as one.
The first verse compares the two people to different types of alcoholic drinks; one is like wine while the other is like champagne. Despite the fact that they are different, they both share a love of alcohol and the good times that come with it. The second verse compares the two of them to a cloud that is both light and dark, suggesting that they both have both happy and sad aspects to their personalities. The chorus speaks to the idea that no matter what is happening in the outside world, they are both happy and content with each other. The phrase "kavak yelleri" refers to the wind that rustles through the leaves of the poplar trees, which is often seen as a symbol of change and renewal.
The third verse suggests that they are like the night sky, with all of its stars, giving a sense of wonder and infinite possibility. The final line of the verse speaks to their enduring love and commitment to each other, even as the world around them changes. The final chorus brings everything full circle, emphasizing that they are all "sevdalı," or "lovers," united in their shared commitment to love and happiness.
