Ama Evlisin

Yıldız Tilbe's song 'Ama Evlisin' is a poignant exploration of unspoken love and the heartache that comes with missed opportunities. The lyrics convey a deep sense of regret and longing, as the narrator reflects on a love that could never be fully realized. The opening lines, 'Aşktan utandım, konuşamadım / Yüzüne bakamadım yan yana iken,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the narrator's shyness and inability to express their feelings when they had the chance.

The chorus, 'Ama evlisin Benim değilsin / Yıllar önce nerdeydin / Çok geciktik sevgilim,' is a powerful lament about the timing of love. The repeated phrase 'Ama evlisin' (But you are married) underscores the insurmountable barrier that now exists between the narrator and their beloved. This refrain captures the essence of the song's sorrow, emphasizing the irreversible nature of their situation. The narrator's repeated questioning of 'Yıllar önce nerdeydin' (Where were you years ago) adds to the sense of missed destiny and the cruel hand of fate.

Throughout the song, Tilbe uses vivid imagery and emotional language to convey the depth of the narrator's feelings. Lines like 'Sevemedim seni, öpemedim seni / Konuşamadım sarılamadım' (I couldn't love you, I couldn't kiss you / I couldn't talk, I couldn't hug) paint a picture of a love that was always just out of reach. The narrator's desire to 'bitirmeyi isterdim hayatımı seninle' (end my life with you) speaks to the intensity of their emotions and the profound sense of loss they feel. 'Ama Evlisin' is a heart-wrenching ballad that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unfulfilled love and the what-ifs that linger long after.
