This Turkish song performed by Mustafa Ceceli & Ekin Uzunlar, proves that love is the same in any language.
While this love song is musically appealing and instrumentally diverse, its lyrics are simple and repetitive. As much as it hurts, at times, love is a song on repeat. A simple melody that bores us to tears even though at one time we had the tune of love on replay.
The lyrics describe a lover who is at a distance remembering what it was like to be with his love. He remembers his lover’s breath, their kiss, how they walked and talked. He questions whether he can live without this love and seems to have regret about a deep romance slipping through his fingers.
Even if you don’t know the Turkish language, you can listen to the song’s instrumentation and recall love.
Turkish Love Song, Öptüm Nefesinden Lyrics
Geçtim senle dolu sokaklardan
Ne hâllere düştüm yaşananlardan
Yorulmuşum bütün olanlardan
Öptüm nefesinden, uzaklardan
Dağılır her yere feryadım, karayım
Bir ümidim olsun, her zaman arayım
Sesini duyup da öylece kalayım
Bıktım sensiz, sessiz akşamlardan
Bir bilsen ağlamak çare de değil ki
Ölücem mi, kalıcam mı belli mi?
Bir sor nasıl geçiyor burada günlerim
Vazgeçilmez oldun kararlardan
Geçtim senle dolu sokaklardan
Ne hâllere düştüm yaşananlardan
Yorulmuşum bütün olanlardan
Öptüm nefesinden, uzaklardan
Geçtim senle dolu sokaklardan
Ne hâllere düştüm yaşananlardan
Yorulmuşum bütün olanlardan
Öptüm nefesinden, uzaklardan
Geçtim senle dolu sokaklardan
Ne hâllere düştüm yaşananlardan
Yorulmuşum bütün olanlardan
Öptüm nefesinden, uzaklardan
Geçtim senle dolu sokaklardan
Ne hâllere düştüm yaşananlardan
Yorulmuşum bütün olanlardan
Öptüm nefesinden, uzaklardan
Öptüm Nefesinden Lyrics | English Translation
I passed through streets full of you
What kind of situation have I fallen into from what happened?
I’m tired of all that
I kissed your breath from far away
My cry is scattered everywhere, I’m black
I have hope, I will always call
Let me hear your voice and stay there
I’m tired of quiet evenings without you
If you only knew, crying is not a solution.
Do I know whether I will die or stay?
A question how is my days here
You became indispensable from decisions
I passed through streets full of you
What kind of situation have I fallen into from what happened?
I’m tired of all that
I kissed your breath from far away
I passed through streets full of you
What kind of situation have I fallen into from what happened?
I’m tired of all that
I kissed your breath from far away
I passed through streets full of you
What kind of situation have I fallen into from what happened?
I’m tired of all that
I kissed your breath from far away
I passed through streets full of you
What kind of situation have I fallen into from what happened?
I’m tired of all that
I kissed your breath from far away
