Gelene Bak Sözleri

Azer Bülbül's song 'Gelene Bak Sözleri' is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the cruel twists of fate. The lyrics tell the story of a man who has loved deeply but has been met with nothing but sorrow. The opening lines, 'Býr guzel sevdým guldurmedý / Atesýmý sondurmedý,' translate to 'I loved a beautiful one, she did not make me laugh / She did not extinguish my fire.' This sets the tone for the song, highlighting the unfulfilled love and the emotional turmoil that the protagonist endures.

The metaphor of a dagger ('Hancer vurdu yuregýme / Yaraladý öldurmedý') symbolizes the deep emotional wounds inflicted by this unrequited love. The dagger wounds but does not kill, indicating that the pain is ongoing and relentless. This imagery is powerful, evoking a sense of lingering suffering and the inability to move on from the heartbreak. The repeated references to fate ('Su bendeký kadere bak / Talýhe bak kýsmete bak') underscore the protagonist's sense of helplessness and resignation to his unfortunate circumstances.

The chorus, 'Oy gelene bak gelene baaaaak / Basýmýza gelene bak felek gozun kor olmasýn,' translates to 'Oh, look at what has come, look at what has come / Look at what has happened to us, may fate be blind.' This refrain captures the essence of the song, a lamentation of the cruel twists of fate and the mockery of their suffering by others. The repeated plea for fate to be blind ('felek gozun kor olmasýn') suggests a desire for an end to the suffering and a hope that future misfortunes might be avoided. Azer Bülbül's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's themes of heartache and despair, making 'Gelene Bak Sözleri' a deeply moving piece that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love and the capriciousness of fate.
