Original Lyrics
Translation
Bazen bana gelir, gider seni dert etmeler
Sometimes it feels like I can't help but worry about you.
Seni rüyalarımda hapsetmeler
You trap me in my dreams.
Yıldızların hırsızları var?
Are there thieves among the stars?
Tutamam, tutamam, hep yeni bir gün doğar
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, a new day always dawns.
Başka bi' evrende en güzel hâlinle
In another universe, you're at your most beautiful.
Sen hayata karış, ben daha da biteceğim
You blend into life, while I will soon fade away.
Kırgınım kendime, üşüyorum gölgende
I'm hurt with myself, feeling cold in your shadow.
Henüz bilmesen de belki bir gün gideceğim
Even if you don't know yet, maybe one day I'll leave.
Hiç gerek yok daha fazlasına
There's no need for anything more.
Zamanı tutmaya, fezaya uçmaya
To hold on to time, to fly into space.
Geride kaldılar (Geride kaldılar)
They were left behind (They were left behind).
Geride kaldı o günler
Those days have been left behind.
Sen varken taptığım kasvetli şehirler
The gloomy cities I adored when you were here.
Başka bi' evrende en güzel hâlinle
In another universe, you're at your most beautiful.
Sen hayata karış, ben daha da biteceğim
You blend into life, while I will soon fade away.
Kırgınım kendime, üşüyorum gölgende
I'm hurt with myself, feeling cold in your shadow.
Henüz bilmesen de belki bir gün gideceğim
Even if you don't know yet, maybe one day I'll leave.
 

Explanation

Madrigal's 'Seni Dert Etmeler' delves into the emotional turmoil of longing and separation. The song opens with a sense of worry about a loved one, illustrating how these feelings can consume the narrator. The imagery of being trapped in dreams suggests a struggle between reality and the idealized version of the person they care for. The line about thieves among the stars introduces a sense of existential questioning, hinting at the narrator's feelings of being lost or robbed of joy.

The chorus serves as a poignant contrast, where the narrator acknowledges the beauty of the person in another universe while feeling themselves fade away in the present. This duality captures the essence of yearning, as the narrator grapples with their fading existence against the backdrop of the loved one's vibrancy.

As the song progresses, the narrator expresses self-frustration and coldness in the shadow of their beloved, indicating a deep emotional conflict. The acknowledgment of potential departure adds a layer of melancholy, suggesting that even if the loved one remains unaware of the narrator's pain, it may lead to an inevitable separation. Overall, the song encapsulates the complexities of love, longing, and the bittersweet nature of memories and dreams.
