Dolunay
Yeni Türkü Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay dolunay dalgın gecede
Ay büyüyor tam yüreğimde
Suskunum ben söyleyemem
Ay ben ay neden

Ay dolunay sessiz gecede
Ay bir anda düş yüreğime
Yanayım ben söz büyürken
Ay ben ay sana

Bırak ateşte
Sözler çoğalsın
Ateşten sözler
Yaksın dolunayda

Ateşten sözler
Ayaklanırsa
Akıntıya karşı
Koşar mı dolunayda

Ay dolunay dalgın gecede
Ay büyüyor tam yüreğimde
Suskunum ben söyleyemem
Ateş dilimde

Ay dolunay sessiz gecede
Ay bir anda düş yüreğime
Yanayım ben söz büyürken
Ay ben ay sana

Bırak ateşte
Sözler çoğalsın
Ateşten sözler
Yaksın dolunayda

Ateşten sözler
Ayaklanırsa




Akıntıya karşı
Koşar mı dolunayda

Overall Meaning

The song "Dolunay" by Yeni Türkü talks about the power of the full moon and its effect on the human soul. The lyrics describe the moon as "dalgın" (absent-minded) and "sessiz" (silent) which creates a sense of quietness and stillness that somehow makes the singer feel lost in their thoughts. The moon's presence seems to magnify emotions and make them more intense; the "ay büyüyor tam yüreğimde" line translates to "the moon is growing inside my heart", illustrating the overwhelming feeling the singer is experiencing.


The main theme of the song revolves around the use of words and the importance of speaking up. The singer describes themself as "suskunum ben söyleyemem" (silent, I can't speak), and the repetition of "ay ben ay neden" (oh moon, why) seems to suggest that the moon represents a listener, an entity that's always present and willing to hear what the singer has to say. The chorus goes "bırak ateşte / sözler çoğalsın / ateşten sözler / yaksın dolunayda" which means "let the words burn in the fire / let the fiery words multiply / let the moon be on fire from the words". This implies that the singer believes in the power of words to ignite change and reach people's hearts.


Overall, "Dolunay" is a poetic and reflective song that encourages listeners to express themselves and use their words as a way to connect with others and create meaning in their lives.
