Born Fatma Sezen Yıldırım on the 13 July 1954 in Sarayköy/Denizli, Turkey, she began to study at the local agricultural institute, but gave up her studies to concentrate on music full time. She released her first single, "Haydi Şansım/Gel Bana" (Come on My Luck/Come to Me) in 1975. However, she remained undiscovered until her 1976 single "Olmaz Olsun" reached number one in the Turkish charts. Her first album Serçe (Sparrow) appeared in 1978, which gave her also her nickname.
In the coming years, Aksu also acted in two films and opened a live music club in Istanbul. Her music throughout these years remained conventional, but melodic pop, perhaps best exemplified by "Gülümse" (Smile) of 1991.
In 1995, Aksu branched out with the experimental album Işık Doğudan Yükselir (Light from the East), drawing both on western classical and regional Turkish musical traditions. This album made her known outside Turkey and gave her a devoted world music following across Europe.
She has collaborated with many other musicians, such as Tarkan and Sertab Erener, resulting in continental hits such as "Şımarık".

Sezen Aksu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Çýkmaz sokaklarda soluksuz kalýnca
Azalýnca manadan
Seyyar sevdalarda parçalanýnca
Dil yetmeyince
Göz görmeyince gönül hissetmeyince
Kýrýlýnca camdan kalp
Dönüp yalnýzlýða kilitlenince
O zaman þarký söylemeli çýðlýk çýðlýða
O zaman yüreðin yükü hafifler belki biraz
O zaman þarký söylemek lazým avaz avaz
Hay la la la la ley, hay la la la la ley
Hay la la la la ley, la lay la la ley
Hay la la la la ley, hay la la la la ley
Hay la la la la ley, la lay la la ley
Dert bitmeyince
Bildiðin çektiðine yetmeyince
Düþmanýn da kendini yakalayýnca
Bi daha kin gütmeyince
Dil yetmeyince
Göz görmeyince gönül hissetmeyince
Kýrýlýnca camdan kalp
Dönüp yalnýzlýða kilitlenince
O zaman þarký söylemek lazým avaz avaz
O zaman þarký söylemeli çýðlýk çýðlýða
O zaman yüreðin yükü hafifler belki biraz
O zaman þarký söylemek lazým avaz avaz
The song "Şarkı Söylemek Lazım" by Sezen Aksu is a powerful reminder to keep singing through life's hardships. It speaks to moments when life becomes difficult and overwhelming, and we find ourselves trapped in a maze of problems and heartaches. The lyrics describe situations where everything seems to be falling apart - we are lost in the alleys, shattered by our own emotions, unable to communicate or express our feelings, and left alone to suffer in silence. In these moments, the song suggests that all we need is to sing, to unleash the power of our voice and express our deepest emotions. The chorus urges us to sing loud and clear, to let our voices be heard, and to lighten the load on our hearts.
In many ways, the song is a celebration of the therapeutic effects of music. It acknowledges that life is tough, but also that music has the power to heal and uplift us. The verses talk about how our troubles may persist even after we've tried our best to overcome them, and how we may carry the weight of our past traumas and negative emotions. However, the chorus reminds us that singing can be a way to release those emotions, to find a sense of catharsis and freedom. The song encourages us to keep singing through the pain, to keep making music in the face of adversity, and to find solace in the melodies and rhythms that connect us all.
Overall, "Şarkı Söylemek Lazım" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the universal human need for expression and connection. It celebrates the healing power of music and encourages us to find our own voices in times of hardship.

Hayat zorlaşınca
Çıkmaz sokaklarda soluksuz kalınca
Azalınca manadan
Seyyar sevdalarda parçalanınca
Dil yetmeyince
Göz görmeyince
Gönül hissetmeyince
Kırılınca camdan kalp
Dönüp yalnızlığa kilitlenince
O zaman şarkı söylemek lazım
Avaz avaz
O zaman şarkı söylemeli
Çığlık çığlığa
O zaman yüreğin yükü hafifler
Belki biraz
O zaman şarkı söylemek lazım
Avaz avaz
Dert bitmeyince
Bildiğin çektiğine yetmeyince
Düşmanında kendini yakalayınca
Bir daha kin gütmeyince
