This song is dedicated to Tania, and is written by Ufuk Çelik as a poem in 1994, Released as a poem in 2010, and composed on 2005 as a song but not released .
_
The song begins with a captivating introduction in the Husseini makam, seamlessly transitioning into jazz, one of my favorite musical styles. Azra's incredible vocals and interpretation carry the song forward, and it reaches a whole new level when the backing vocals and keyboard join in. I think it's a wonderful fusion.

Lyrics:
-
A woman she was,
Or rather, a child,
Who merely queried,
'Will my name fade in time?'
(Faded)
-
Did she live life as she'd planned?
What life was there?
A child she'd remained...
A woman in motion,
A child's heart in a world in commotion...
-
Misplaced in a casket,
She'd only begun,
To weave her family's sum...
(a minus a plus)
-
She smiled so sweetly,
Petite and refined,
Eyes deep and defined,
Like a sweet harmony,
-
(la lalala lala lala laaalala lala lala)
-
Pants at her ankles, green as an olive,
Low-slung and swollen,
A thin, sky-blue shirt,
She was oh so pert...
She'd often say,
Those who can't do small things,
Can't achieve great things...
Or is all for love's sweet wings?
(fly!)
-
But what was your real name?
Or have I forgotten you, Tania?
And what about you, me?
