Nasıl Yar Diyeyim
Yildiz Tilbe Lyrics

The lyrics of the song Nasıl Yar Diyeyim by Yıldız Tilbe express the sorrow and longing of the singer for their lover. The first line describes the difficulty of expressing such deep emotions, and likens the singer's pain to a wound. The second line references the story of Mecnun, who went insane from love and ran to the desert to live as a hermit. The third and fourth lines use the metaphor of a garden to emphasize the fleeting nature of beauty - just as the nightingales will only sing while the roses are in bloom, the singer's lover will only bring happiness as long as they are present.

The chorus continues to describe the pain and frustration of the singer, who longs for their lover but cannot find solace in their absence. They describe their lover as not being able to console them or understand their suffering, even after death. The third verse takes a turn towards anger and defiance, as the singer declares that they will not be comforted even if their lover were to return. They use the image of black eyebrows to reject traditional beauty standards, and proclaim that they do not need anyone else in their heart. Lastly, the singer references the Sufi mystic Pir Sultan Abdal and his journey towards becoming a "perfect human being." They express a desire to find inner peace and transcendence, even if it means facing difficult challenges along the way.
