Son Arzum

Nilüfer's song "Son Arzum" (translated as "My Last Wish") is a poignant exploration of enduring love and the deep emotional impact of a significant relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and acceptance, as the singer contemplates the end of life and the lasting memories of a cherished love. The opening lines, "Gelse bile son günüm / Koluna alsa ölüm" (Even if my last day comes / Death takes me in its arms), set a somber tone, suggesting that even in the face of death, the memories of love remain vivid and powerful.

The song delves into the theme of an unyielding heart, closed off to new loves after experiencing a profound connection. The lines "Senden sonra kalbimi / Sevgilere kapadım" (After you, I closed my heart to loves) reflect a deep sense of loyalty and the irreplaceable nature of the past relationship. This sentiment is further emphasized by the metaphor of living a single day with the beloved as if it were a thousand years, highlighting the intensity and significance of that time together.

Nilüfer's lyrics also touch on the idea of unspoken understanding and the power of love to transcend words. The verse "Son arzun nedir diye / Gelip de bana sorsalar / Gözlerime bakıp da / Herşeyi anlasalar" (If they come and ask me what my last wish is / If they look into my eyes and understand everything) suggests that true love can be communicated through a mere glance, without the need for verbal expression. The song concludes with a plea to leave the memory of this love untouched, allowing it to stand as a testament to what true love means, even to those who may not understand it.
