Yaşar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bir günahtı her gün daha
Bir gün aktı gözyaşlarım
Durmadı, durmadı
Yemin olsun bir gün daha
Dedim olsun bir gün daha
Senede bir bir gün daha
Önlerime duvarlar örseler
Kara sevdam her gün öldürseler
Kör bıçağım kimseleri kesemem
Beni yine, beni yine seninle bileseler
Gözlerimi kor demirle delseler
Üzerimi topraklarla örtseler
Saplı durur rengi gözlerinin
Sana kayar, sana kaçar yine deli aklım benim
Bir gün artı bir gün daha
Bir günahtı her gün daha
Bir gün aktı gözyaşlarım
Durmadı, durmadı
Yemin olsun bir gün daha
Dedim olsun bir gün daha
Senede bir bir gün daha
Olmadı, olmadı
Önlerime duvarlar örseler
Kara sevdam her gün öldürseler
Kör bıçağım kimseleri kesemem
Beni yine, beni yine teninle bileseler
Gözlerimi kor demirle delseler
Üzerimi topraklarla örtseler
Saplı durur rengi gözlerinin
Sana kayar, sana kaçar yine deli aklım benim
Önlerime duvarlar örseler
Kara sevdam her gün öldürseler
Kör bıçağım kimseleri kesemem
Beni yine, beni yine teninle bileseler
Gözlerimi kor demirle delseler
Üzerimi topraklarla örtseler
Saplı durur rengi gözlerinin
Sana kayar, sana kaçar yine deli aklım benim
The lyrics of Yaşar’s song Kör Bıçak narrate a story of a love that remains unrequited. The song is a pleading lament of a man who is deeply in love with someone who does not reciprocate his feelings. The repetitive phrases “Bir gün artı bir gün daha/Bir günahtı her gün daha”, which translate to “One day, plus one more day/It was a sin every day” and “Yemin olsun bir gün daha/Dedim olsun bir gün daha/Senede bir bir gün daha/Olmadı, olmadı”, which translate to “I swear, one more day/I said one more day/One more day in a year/It didn't happen, it didn't happen” convey the singer's feeling of hopelessness and the futility of his affection.
The lyricist employs the imagery of a “blind knife” to depict the singer’s situation. The “blind knife” in the context of the song is a metaphor for his unreturned love. He acknowledges that he is powerless to overcome the situation, no matter how much he struggles, in the line “Kör bıçağım kimseleri kesemem/Beni yine, beni yine seninle bileseler” (My blind knife can't cut Anyone / They still know me, they still know me with you).
The last verse “Gözlerimi kor demirle delseler/Üzerimi topraklarla örtseler/Saplı durur rengi gözlerinin/Sana kayar, sana kaçar yine deli aklım benim” - "(Even) if they pierce my eyes with red-hot iron/If they cover me with soil/I'll still fixate on your eye color/My crazy mind will still escape to you" depicts the singer's unwavering devotion to the object of his affection despite the myriad challenges he faces.
