En Son Babalar Duyar

The Unheard Struggles of Fatherhood
The song 'En Son Babalar Duyar' by Dizi Müzikleri delves into the often overlooked and complex relationship between fathers and their children. The title itself, which translates to 'Fathers Hear Last,' sets the tone for the narrative, highlighting how fathers are frequently the last to know about the emotional and practical struggles within the family. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with both joy and sorrow, where the father figure, despite his best efforts, remains somewhat detached from the inner workings of his children's lives.
The opening lines, 'Eyvahlar la geçiyor hayatýmýz / Babamla biz ayrý dünyalardayýz,' express a sense of urgency and disconnection. The speaker acknowledges that life is passing by quickly, and there is a significant emotional and experiential gap between them and their father. This gap is further emphasized by the line 'Gölgesinde olmak huzur verir bizlere,' which suggests that while the father's presence provides a sense of security, it is not enough to bridge the emotional distance.
The song also touches on the universal themes of dreams and aspirations, as seen in the line 'Lakin memhemt usta hayaller peþinde.' Here, the father is depicted as someone who is chasing his own dreams, perhaps at the expense of understanding his children's needs and desires. The chorus, 'Hayatatýn anlamý bir boþalýr bir dolar / Çocuklar ah çocuklar büs bütün insaný yorar,' reflects on the cyclical nature of life and the exhausting yet fulfilling experience of raising children. The final lines, 'Gizliyi saklýyý / Haklýyý haksýzý / Acýyý tatlýyý / En son baba duyarr,' encapsulate the essence of the song, emphasizing that fathers are often the last to hear about the hidden truths, rights and wrongs, and the bittersweet moments of life.
