Istanbul
Peyk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sen de beni unutmuşsun
Adım çıkmış hatırından
İstanbul, İstanbul, İstanbul
Ah İstanbul
Sen de biraz tozutmuşsun
Üstün başın darmadağın
İstanbul, İstanbul, İstanbul
İstanbul yüzüme ah bi bak
Bir bak n'olur
Anla beni
Anla anla anlat bana da
Ne kadar kalleşsin ah dünyam
Tutmuş sana aşık olmuşum
Ama olsun
Aldat beni
Aldat aldat aldat
Ölene kadar...
The song "İstanbul" by Peyk talks about a sense of longing and abandonment for the city of Istanbul. The lyrics lament that the city has forgotten the singer. The repetition of the name of the city highlights the deep connection and love the singer has for Istanbul, despite feeling neglected. The lines "Üstün başın darmadağın" (Your top is in disarray) could be interpreted as a metaphor for the state of Istanbul, where despite its rich and complex history, the city has fallen into disarray and neglect.
The verse "İstanbul yüzüme ah bi bak" (Oh Istanbul, look at me) and "Anla anla anlat bana da" (Understand, understand and tell me too) indicate a desire for connection, recognition, and understanding. The following lines express a feeling of betrayal, where the singer expresses love for Istanbul, but has been deceived by the city. The final words "Aldat aldat aldat ölene kadar" (Deceive, deceive, deceive until death) express a sense of resignation and acceptance of the city's betrayal.
