Kumralım
Yaşar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sevginin çıkmaz yollarında senin dolaylarında
Sana dair hasretim yüzyillardan kalma
Aklimi kaçiriyorum bu cinnet aksamlarinda
Orda her kiminleysen belki sevgilinleysen
Söyle kumralim için sizlamaz mi
Bilmem hatirlar misin gözlerim ne renkti
Sahip oldugum herseydin
Herseyimi alip gittin
Bu kaçinci hasretim aylardan hangi aydir
Söyle kumralim ben adimi unuttum
Bilmem hatirlar misin gözlerim ne renkti
Söyle kumralim benim adim neydi
Ne zaman günes dogar aylardan hangi aydir
Söyle kumralim ben adimi unuttum
Bilmem hatirlar misin gözlerim ne renkti
Söyle kumralim benim adim neydi
In Yaşar's song Kumralım, the singer is overwhelmed with sadness and longing for a lost love. They cannot escape the maze of love's dead-end roads, which leads them to thoughts of madness. They recall the features of their beloved, even questioning if the person they are with now, potentially even their new lover, would feel a sense of pain for the singer’s loss. The singer believes they were everything to their former partner, but they left taking everything away from the singer.
The song's lyrics show the dark and emotional side of love, capturing deep feelings of heartache and longing. The use of color ("kumral" meaning brown-haired) conjures up a visual image for the listener, adding an additional layer of emotionality to the lyrics. The singers’ inability to recall their lover's name and eye color showcases both the depth of loss and the passage of time.
