She was originally educated professionally as an opera singer and has a well-tamed soprano voice. However, she proceeded to establish herself in popular music.
Initially working with Sezen Aksu, another significant Turkish music star, she released her first album Sakin Ol in 1992, followed by Lal (1994), Sertab Gibi (1996), Sertab (1999) and Turuncu (2001). Lal was included in the "Soundtrack For A Century" collection by Sony music. Sertab Erener is also remembered for her duets with José Carreras and Ricky Martin and her single with Greek singer Mando. In 2004 she released her first English album called "No Boundaries" and a few English singles, which increased the number of her international fans. Also she made a special re-production of the album regarding the Far-East countries. Her two songs "One More Cup of Coffee" (a Bob Dylan cover) and "Here I Am" were used in international movie soundtracks. She also worked with famous musicians Desmond Child, Indonesian singer Anggun, and Belgian band Voice Male.
She released Ask Olmez, another Turkish-language album in 2005 and the singles Ask Olmez, Biz Oluruz (Love never dies, we die) and a dance remix of Satilik Kalpler Sehri.
There was an electronic/club remix album of some of her best-known songs ("Sertab Goes to the Club") along with Murat Uncuoglu and Aytekin Kurt in 2007. She also released her best-of album ("The Best of Sertab Erener") in 2007.
By 2009, Sertab and her partner Demir Demirkan, who is known as a rock singer in Turkey, released an original album called "Painted on Water". The Painted on Water Project has its bases on the Turkish Folk Music. 14 anonymous old Turkish Folk songs are re-formed and harmonied with jazz sound. Songs are in English. The name of the project, Painted on Water, refers to a traditional Turkish painting method "Ebru", which is painted on water and then dried on a paper.
Sertab released a new album named "Rengarenk" (Colorful) in 2010 to positive commentaries. This has several new songs and a couple of remixes of one of the songs. This is not similar to Painted on Water and reflects Sertab's original pop style.
Her album "Ey Şûh-i Sertab" was released in April 2012. She sang Turkish Classical Music songs, which were totally arranged according to the traditional ways. Her latest album is "Sade", released in April 2013.
On June 3, 2016, Sertab Erener released her 11th LP, Kirik Kalpler Albumu after 3 years. Yıldız Tilbe, Can Bonomo, Soner Sarıkabadayı, Can Temiz, Ersel Serdarlı, Sibel Algan contributed to the album with song writing.
Everyway That I Can
Sertab Erener Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making a way for a distant cause
You say you love me and you roll your eyes
Turn to stare at the empty skies
I thought it was over and we passed all that
All we've done is to pass back to frame number one
Come on, now, now
If you just let go and let me love you
Every way that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Every way that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Every way that I can
I'll cry, I'll try
Make you mine again
Hold me closer, oh, so good
You make me feel just like I should
I know what you're thinking: uhuh good
Now the rest of the world is overruled
Tell me what you see in other girls all around
Come on closer and tell me what you don't find here
Come on, now, now
I want to be the everything you've been missing out
Just let go and let me love you
Every way that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Every way that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Every way that I can
I'll cry, I'll die
Make you mine again
I'm in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
You make me want to huhuh
Make me want to huhuhuh
I'm in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
You make me want to huhuh
Make me want to huhuhuh
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
No, no, no, no, no
Every way that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Every way that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Every way that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Every way that I can
I'll cry, I'll try
Make you mine again
The song "Every Way That I Can" by Sertab Erener is about a lover who is trying to win back the affection of their partner. The first verse describes how the lover feels that their partner is drifting away, perhaps pursuing a different goal or interest. However, despite this, the lover is still in love with their partner and wants to show them what the relationship could be like if they just let go and let the love in. The chorus emphasizes the determination of the lover to win back the love of their partner, pledging to do everything in their power to make it happen.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel you moving on a different course
I sense that you're heading towards a different goal
Making a way for a distant cause
Preparing for a separate objective
You say you love me and you roll your eyes
You claim to love me but your actions don't match your words
Turn to stare at the empty skies
Looking away and avoiding the topics of discussion
I thought it was over and we passed all that
I believed that we had moved past our issues
All we've done is to pass back to frame number one
We've just gone back to where we started
Come on, now, now
Please, let's start over
I want to show you all again what it would be like
I want to remind you of the feelings we had for each other before
If you just let go and let me love you
If you allow yourself to be loved by me
Every way that I can
I'll do everything possible
I'll try to make you love me again
I'll make an effort to regain your love
I'll give you all my love and then
I'll shower you with affection
I'll cry, I'll try
I'll do everything I can, even if it hurts
Make you mine again
Win you back
Hold me closer, oh, so good
Embrace me tightly, it feels great
You make me feel just like I should
You make me feel complete and content
I know what you're thinking: uhuh good
I know that you're enjoying this too
Now the rest of the world is overruled
Everything else is insignificant compared to us
Tell me what you see in other girls all around
Explain what attracts you to other girls
Come on closer and tell me what you don't find here
Come here and tell me what you're missing
I want to be the everything you've been missing out
I want to be everything you need
I'm in love with you
I'm deeply in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
I'll fulfill your every desire
You make me want to huhuh
You make me want to be happy
Make me want to huhuhuh
Make me want to be joyful
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
Nothing can prevent me from being with you
Every way that I can
I'll do everything possible
I'll give you all my love and then
I'll shower you with affection
I'll try to make you love me again
I'll make an effort to regain your love
I'll cry, I'll die
I'll do everything I can, even if it hurts
Make you mine again
Win you back

Semra Göl

Sotiris Kosmas
the first eurovision song i heard !!
ZIKIII
This is Turkish not Arabian
E. B
The music has Arabic influences tho
Lé Art
@E. B I don’t think you realize it’s not Arabic influence when Turkish, Albanian & other middle eastern countries have all had very similar sounds in music since forever.
Kirby and Zelda Studios
@Lé Artget it right tho ! The music influence from instruments to melody to religion to culture and food was brought by the Arabs to the Turks and actually they admired not the other way around.
It was the Arab Emirs and the Umayyad dynasty that actually the Ottomans joined respected and loved. So with that being said it’s a beautiful Turkish song influenced by the admirable Arab / Berber historical heritage in the region! No attempt for defamation of history possible here. Thanks.
