Lyrics of Sır - Sezen Aksu

Sır (original)

Bir yanmış konakta
Bir kadın var orada
Hala soylu hâlâ sır
Teninde baharlar
Sevdası kapkara hâlâ aynı yanar kor
Efsane kadın kimdi aşkın
Sordular sustun hiç anlatmadın
Efsane kadın kimdi aşkın
Sordular ama hiç anlatamadın
Zamansız yıllarda
İsmini yazmıştı sanki gül dudağında
Sönse de yangınlar
Yangını körükler uçan
Avuç avuç kül
Efsane kadın kimdi aşkın
Sordular sustun hiç anlatmadın
Efsane kadın kimdi aşkın
Sordular ama hiç anlatmadın
Bir yanmış konakta.

(translation)

In a burnt mansion
there is a woman there
still noble still secret
Spring on your skin
His love is black and still burns the same
Who was the legendary woman?
They asked, you kept quiet, you never told
Who was the legendary woman?
They asked but you never told
in timeless years
It was as if she had written your name on her rose lips.
Even though the fires go out
Flying fuels the fire
Handful of ash
Who was the legendary woman?
They asked, you kept quiet, you never told
Who was the legendary woman?
They asked but you never told
In a burnt mansion.
