Kaderin Oyunu
Nilüfer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kaderin oyunu mu bu
Sana kırıldım
Senden ummazdım
Kalbim yine darmanduman
Kenara atıldım
Çok yalnız kaldım
Alt üst oldum
Yaşananlara inanamadım
Kaderin oyunu
Kaderin oyunu mu bu
Hiç istemezdim
Bilseydim başlamazdım
Hiç beklemezdim
Hakkında yanıldım
The lyrics to Nilüfer's song Kaderin Oyunu describe the feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by someone who was once trusted. The song begins with the questioning of the role of fate in bringing about such a situation. The singer expresses disappointment and hurt at the actions of the person who caused her heartache. The feeling of being cast aside and alone is palpable in the lyrics as the singer laments being pushed to the side. Everything has changed, and the singer feels lost and unsure of what to do next. The lyrics suggest that inexperienced and naïve actions led to this current predicament. The chorus repeats the phrase "Kaderin oyunu" (meaning "Is this fate's game?"), further emphasizing the sense of powerlessness and confusion felt by the singer.
The song touches upon universal themes of love, loss, and unexpected betrayals, making it relatable to many listeners. The emotions conveyed in the lyrics are raw and authentic, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful. The song is a reminder that life is unpredictable, and even our best-laid plans can be derailed. It's important to stay hopeful and learn from past mistakes in order to move forward.
