The Magic of Love in 'Çift Gökkuşağı'
Buray’s song 'Çift Gökkuşağı (feat. Ada Masalı)' is a poetic exploration of the transformative power of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how the presence of a loved one can extend one's life and bring about profound changes. The opening lines, 'Sana bakmak insanın ömrünü uzatır / Geç karşıma da bir kaç yıl eklensin hayatıma,' suggest that simply looking at the beloved can add years to one's life, emphasizing the rejuvenating and life-affirming nature of love.
The recurring imagery of a 'çift gökkuşağı' or 'double rainbow' symbolizes the extraordinary and almost magical impact the beloved has on the singer's world. When the beloved smiles in the rain, it’s as if a double rainbow appears, and when they walk towards the singer, it feels like summer arrives early and glaciers melt. These metaphors highlight the beloved's ability to bring warmth, joy, and transformation, turning ordinary moments into something spectacular.
The song also delves into themes of struggle and resilience in love. The lines 'Sen geçerken ayrılık zırhını kuşanır / Çek aşkını da canın pahasına savaş onunla' depict love as a battle worth fighting, even at great personal cost. The singer's heart is described as rebellious and unyielding, refusing to be tamed despite warnings. This defiance is further illustrated in the metaphor of being 'a Köroğlu and an Ayvaz,' referencing legendary Turkish folk heroes known for their bravery and resistance. Ultimately, the song conveys that while life can go on without the singer, it is incomplete and unimaginable without the beloved.
