Kibir

Harcadım hırpaladım

Çok zarar verdim beni affet

İnsan tuhaf ne hoyrat

Ne şaheser ve nasıl ilkel hayret

Kibir bir canavar gibi

Bekliyor pusuda

Tıpkı bir volkan gibi uykusunda

Kalbini kurban veriyor

Sen aşkın talibi o galibi

Olmaya tutkun yok korkusuda

Küçük bir hayat var biliyor

Yanmam lazım daha yol almam lazım

Kendimden caymam lazım zor...

Pride*

I’ve wasted (you), I roughed (you) up

I've done (you) so much damage, forgive me

Human… How strange, so vulgar

Such a masterpiece and yet so primitive. Gosh!

Pride is like a beast

Lying in wait.

It sleeps just like a volcano

It sacrifices your heart

You aspire to love, It (Pride) is passionate about

being the victor of it. Yet it has no fear

Which there is only one life, and it knows

Burn, burn, burn, I must burn* I still must to go a long way

I must renounce my “self”. It’s tough…

1. Pride as in the original, worst, and the most demonic sin of all the seven deadly sins, and also the source of all the other capital sins.
2. ”I must burn” is a subtle reference from Sufism, also known as Islamic mysticism, which is a mystic body of religious practice found within Islam which is characterized by a focus on Islamic purification, spirituality, ritualism, asceticism and esotericism.
In Sufism, the individual who reaches the level of Fenafillah (to become one with God, being free of self) destroys his own ego reaching nothingness. This is described as "burning.
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi (a Sufi philosopher and mystic poet of Islam, and the founder of Whirling Dervishes order) in one of his most-known poems:
“The result of my life is no more than three words:
I was raw, I became cooked, I was burnt.”
When he says "I was raw", Mevlana states that there is no knowledge or the maturity of self. When he says "I was cooked", he states that he has passed the Sufi stages by being able to resist and stop the demands of his ego with experiences and knowledge. And when he says "I burned"; he states that in the Sufi sense, he is now filled with love, free from his self and that he is burning with the love of God.
The whole song is about the artists aspiration to becoming selfless, free of the ego, while she decides to fight her inner demons. The first two lines are possibly meant for her soul, her mind and body and because of her pride, she mistreated those. Despite it is a religious reference to Sufism, the “burning” which the artist sings about is more in philosophical and the spiritual sense.

I kind of overshared with the foot notes, but this song is a very special one to me, and it means quite a lot and has something really deep for me. That’s why I am sharing the 5th English translation already for this song.
Hope you enjoy!
