| Hello, everyone! I’m Selin from TurkishClass101.com and here we are again, with another Top Words video. Today, we have a very joyful topic, 5 amazing love quotes from Turkish songs. I know you are expecting from me to sing today. Well, I’ll do my best. So, here we go! |
| 1. Sabahın tam üçündesin |
| Dertlerin en gücündesin |
| Hâlâ onun peşindesin |
| Gitme dedim gittin gönül. |
| “You are, at 3 am in the morning, |
| in the most severe of troubles. |
| You are still on the trail of that person. |
| I told you not to go but you went, my heart.” |
| So, in this song, you’re talking with your heart. It’s an old song, but the thing is, I’m sorry, I don’t know the melody, so I cannot sing it for you, I’m sorry. I’m going to sing another song. |
| 2. İnan ki |
| Senden başka |
| Senden başka |
| Hiç kimse yok içimde. |
| “Believe me there is no one else but |
| you, no one else but you in me.” |
| Actually, there is one more song that senden başka is also in it. I think it’s pretty common expressed in Turkish songs, senden başka, and, it’s much more energetic, actually. It goes like that… |
| Senden başka senden başka, |
| Olaman ben hiç kimseyle. |
| It means, “No one else, but you, I cannot be with another person.” |
| Senden başka. |
| 3. Kalpten kalbe bir yol varsa |
| Bu aşktır elbet |
| Rüzgarın yetti bana |
| Koptu bir kıyamet. |
| “If there is a way from one heart to another, |
| that is surely love. |
| Your wind was more than enough for me, |
| a storm broke out.” |
| This is Tarkan. There’s no way I don’t know the singer. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of him, but he is one of the top singers of Turkey, Tarkan, and he has many, many popular songs. This is one of them. I actually kind of… when I say it like without the melody, it’s so weird. I always hear it with a melody, so, now, I can sing it for you. Just a little, okay? So it goes like that… |
| Kalpten kalbe bir yol varsa |
| Bu aşktır elbet |
| Rüzgarın yetti bana |
| Koptu bir kıyamet. |
| I’m sorry, I’m not a very good singer. |
| 4. Beni yak kendini yak |
| Her şeyi yak |
| Bir kıvılcım yeter ben hazırım bak |
| İster öp okşa istersen öldür |
| Aşk için ölmeli aşk o zaman aşk. |
| “Burn me, burn yourself, burn everything. |
| A single spark is enough, look, I'm ready. |
| Kiss me, caress me or kill me if you want. |
| One must die for love. Only then can you call it love.” |
| I think, this is the most romantic and passionate one in this list. The song name is Her şeyi yak, which means “Burn Everything”. Originally, it is a song from Sezen Aksu. Sezen Aksu is also another popular Turkish singer. She is writing very, very beautiful songs and not just for herself, but also for other singers in Turkey. After Sezen Aksu sang the song, years later, another Turkish band, Turkish rock group, also sang this song, Duman, and their version is also very nice, like a rock version, pop version, you can listen whichever you want. So, now it’s time to sing just a little again… |
| Beni yak kendini yak |
| Her şeyi yak |
| Bir kıvılcım yeter ben hazırım bak |
| İster öp okşa istersen öldür |
| Aşk için ölmeli aşk o zaman aşk. |
| I really cannot be a singer. |
| 5. Fikrimin ince gülü |
| Kalbimin şen bülbülü |
| O gün ki gördüm seni |
| Yaktın ah yaktın beni. |
| “Slender rose of my thoughts, |
| cheerful mockingbird of my heart. |
| I saw you that day, you burned, |
| oh, burned me.” |
| I’m just going to sing the first two sentences, okay? |
| Fikrimin ince gülü |
| Kalbimin şen bülbülü |
| I don’t know the rest, sorry, only these two. I think we like to burn everything, right? This is also another old song, very famous. Once upon a time, there was a TV drama with the same name, Fikrimin İnce Gülü, and this was a theme song of that TV series, Turkish TV series. The melody is very smooth, very soft melody, very, very romantic, and, the meaning is also very romantic. I think, this could be a really good love quote for your lover. |
| Okay, that’s it! We finished 5 amazing love quotes from Turkish songs. We really have many romantic Turkish songs because I think, we, Turkish people are very romantic, very emotional people in my opinion. So, I would like to give you some more examples, if you would like to listen to Turkish songs. One of them is called - Bu kalp seni unutur mu? And the melody is like that… |
| Yıllar geçse de üstünden |
| Bu kalp seni unutur mu? |
| And it means, “Can my heart forget you?” It’s like, I cannot forget you, my heart cannot forget you. And also one more, and it is called yerine sevemem and it means, “I cannot love any other, but you” like that, and it’s like… |
| Yerine sevemem. |
| So romantic! You should check it out. Okay, that’s it for today. I hope to see you guys in the next video with another interesting topic. See you guys on the next video. Bye-bye! |
