Did I Ask for This?

Özlem Özdil

Ben Mi İstedim

Yüreğimde Sevda Gönlümde Gam Var
Bu Derdi Cefayı Ben Mi İstedim
Göz Yaşlarım Haldan Anlamaz Oldu
Gizli Gizli Ağlamayı Ben Mi İstedim

Çalılara Dönmüş Ömrümün Gülü
Baykuş Fırsat Konmuş Kovar Bülbülü
Aksi Haber Verdi Seherin Yeli
Dalga Dalga Savrulmayı Benmi İstedim

Özdilim Hasretin Eritti Beni
Birileri Engelledi Gülmemi
En Sonunda Hedef Seçtin Sinemi
Yüreğimden Vurulmayı Benmi İstedim

Did I Ask for This?

My heart's filled with love, my soul's full of pain
Did I ask for this suffering and strain?
My tears have lost their meaning, can't you see?
Did I ask to cry in secret, just me?

My life's turned into a thorny rose
An owl's taken the chance, chasing the nightingale, it goes
The morning breeze brought me bad news, oh well
Did I ask to be tossed like a wave, can’t you tell?

My true tongue's been melted by longing's fire
Someone's blocked my laughter, my heart's desire
In the end, you chose to aim for my heart
Did I ask to be hit where it hurts, torn apart?
