Hay Hay

Nazan Öncel's song 'Hay Hay' is a heartfelt expression of unconditional love and devotion. The lyrics convey a deep sense of commitment and readiness to give everything for the beloved. The repeated phrase 'O senin neyin olur derlerse' (If they ask what he/she is to you) followed by various affectionate responses like 'Gülüm olur, balım olur' (He/she is my rose, my honey) and 'Sevgilim sevgilim' (My lover, my lover) highlights the profound emotional connection and the importance of the beloved in the singer's life. This repetition emphasizes the unwavering nature of the love being described.

The song also features a playful and inclusive dialogue with Tarkan, another prominent Turkish artist, who lists mundane items like 'Kedisini, köpeğini, dolaptaki ceketini, pabucunu, terliğini, duvardaki resmi' (His/her cat, dog, jacket in the closet, shoes, slippers, picture on the wall). This list of everyday objects symbolizes the willingness to accept every aspect of the beloved's life, no matter how trivial. It underscores the idea that true love encompasses all facets of a person's existence, from the significant to the seemingly insignificant.

The chorus 'Hay hay buyursun gelsin, Hay hay temelli kalsın' (Sure, let him/her come, Sure, let him/her stay forever) is a welcoming invitation, expressing a desire for the beloved to be a permanent part of the singer's life. The repetition of 'Hay hay' adds a rhythmic and emphatic quality to the song, reinforcing the message of open-hearted acceptance and enduring love. The song's overall tone is one of warmth, inclusivity, and a deep-seated willingness to embrace the beloved wholly and unconditionally.
