Ana
Türkü Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dört duvar içinde sıkıştım kaldım
Yitirdim benliğim kime gideyim
Ana buralarda sersefil oldum
Yetişmezsen eğer zaya giderim
Ana öyle zor ki sensiz günlerim
Göğsümde saklıdır saçın ak telin
Umudum koynumda hiç yitirmedim
Tez gel özledim

Ana öyle zor ki sensiz günlerim
Göğsümde saklıdır saçın ak telin
Umudum koynumda hiç yitirmedim
Tez gel özledim

Dermansızım geldim yolun sonuna
Ne eşim ne dostum yoktur yanımda
Sayılı günlerim bittim tükendim
Ölüyorum anne muhtacım sana
Ana öyle zor ki sensiz günlerim
Göğsümde saklıdır saçın ak telin
Umudum koynumda hiç yitirmedim
Tez gel özledim

Ana öyle zor ki sensiz günlerim
Göğsümde saklıdır saçın ak telin

Umudum koynumda hiç yitirmedim
Tez gel özledim

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Türkü's song Ana (Mother) talks about the profound and desperate need for a mother's love and support. The first verse describes the feeling of being trapped and lost without a sense of identity. The singer feels helpless and wants to be rescued by his/her mother. The second verse expresses the dejection of the singer as he/she has reached the end of a road and has no one beside him. The singer realizes that he/she is dying and needs his/her mother's warmth and care to survive. The chorus emphasises the pain of separation from the mother, the longing to see her and the hope that she will come soon.

The repetition of the chorus and the verses reinforces the helplessness and hopelessness of the singer. The use of the word "ana" is significant as it is a universal term of endearment used to refer to mothers in Turkey. The song speaks not only to those who are far away from their mothers but also to those who miss the love and care of their mothers who are no longer with them.

Ana is a touching and emotional song that resonates with millions of people who understand the universal longing for a mother's love.
