Ayrılık Hasreti
Nilüfer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yıllar sonra bir gün yine seninle karşılaşsak
Arzuyla kucaklaşsa o kaybolan yıllar bir anda
Gözlerimiz yaşarır seneler sonra son defa

Ayrılık hasreti bu asla bitmeyecek
Kavuşsak o yıllara o anılara
Öpüşsek bile senle aynı sokaklarda

Arzuyla kucaklaşsa o kaybolan yıllar bir anda
Gözlerimiz yaşarır seneler sonra son defa

Hayal oldu hep bunlar aşkı aradıkça
Ne kaldı mazimizde geçmiş yıllardan
Buluşunca ağlayan iki yaşlı insan

Yıllar sonra bir gün yine seninle karşılaşsak

Arzuyla kucaklaşsa o kaybolan yıllar bir anda
Gözlerimiz yaşarır seneler sonra son defa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nilüfer's song "Ayrılık Hasreti" are about meeting someone you haven't seen in years and feeling the intense pain of separation and longing. The song expresses the hope of meeting again and reliving the lost years, of embracing the past with desire, and of crying for the last time years later.

The first stanza sets the scene for the possibility of meeting again after years. The singer hopes for a reunion and yearns to embrace the person they haven't seen in years. They express the pain of losing those years and how tears come to their eyes at the mere prospect of seeing that person again.

In the second stanza, the singer talks about how the longing for their lost years won't ever end. Even if they were to meet and kiss in the same streets they once walked, the pain of parting will never leave them. The stanza ends with the idea of two elderly people crying when they reunite.
