BÜYÜK OLSUN
Ben büyük şarkıları severim; büyük olsun,
Deniz gibi, gökyüzü gibi her şey ve mahzun.
Seviyorsam seni aşk ölümsüzdür gönlümce,
Âşıksam kadınım değil tanrıçasın, ece.
Denizler yolculuğa çağırır durur da beni
Gitmem düşünerek geri döneceğim günü.
Ben büyük rüzgârları severim; büyük olsun
Aşkım da, özlemim de hepsi, her şey ve mahzun.
İnsan bir yanınca Kerem misali yanmalı,
Uykudan bile mahşer gününde uyanmalı.
LET IT BE GRAND
I love grand songs; let them be grand,
Like the sea, the sky, everything with a touch of melancholy.
If I love you, love is immortal in my heart,
You are not just a woman, but a goddess, an aspiration.
The seas beckon me to embark on a journey,
Yet I yearn for the day I return, contemplating my departure.
I love great winds; let them be grand,
My love, my longing, all of it, everything with a touch of melancholy.
When a person is wounded, they should burn like Kerem,
Even on the Day of Judgment, they should awaken from their slumber
MAKE IT BIG
I like big songs; get big,
Everything is like the sea, like the sky, and sad.
If I love you, love is immortal in my heart,
If I’m in love, you’re not my woman, you’re a goddess, ece.
The seas call for a journey and keep calling me
I will come back thinking about the day I should leave.
I like big winds; let it be big
My love and my longing are all of them, everything and sad.
When a person burns, he should burn like a Kerem,
Even from sleep, he should wake up on Judgment Day.
