Sometimes, you come across a poem, and it is not just words. A melody stirs within you, and the notes begin to flow on their own. That’s exactly how it was when I first encountered these special verses by İbrahim Karaca. Bir Eski Şarkısın took shape effortlessly, with each note naturally finding its place. And now, it is ready to meet you.
Life flows ceaselessly, sometimes sweeping us away in a whirlwind of dust and chaos. But music is a timeless refuge beyond it all. On this journey of the song, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my dear composer and arranger friend, Ümit Armağan, and to all the musicians who contributed to it. Each of them touched the soul of this melody and brought it to life.
Now, I entrust this song to you. I hope you find a place for it in your own story and discover yourself within its notes.
Lyrics in English:
Life doesn't stop, it flows
In dust and smoke
You, an old song
At the tip of my heart
Permanently, I look at my life
The roads I walk
Have I lost yesterday in it
Life doesn't stop, it flows
In dust and smoke
You, an old song
At the tip of my heart
The wind fell into the streets
I'm ready for exile
Like an unexpected passenger
In a run-down inn
Life doesn't stop, it flows
In dust and smoke
You, an old song
At the tip of my heart
Life doesn't stop, it flows
In dust and smoke
You, an old song
At the tip of my heart
