In "Kusura Bakma," Nebi Demir returns to a love that still occupies a clean, unhealed corner of the heart, even while feeling foolish for waiting and being laughed at. The repeated apology for not forgetting becomes an admission of failure, not a request for pardon. The image of a burning cage for the soul and breath being cut off turns longing into physical suffocation, where letting go feels impossible and every attempt to move on only deepens the ache.
Kusura Bakma Lyrics by Nebi Demir
Birden geldin aklımdan içimden
Kalbimde bitmeyen bir parçan temiz yerinden
Sahiden bekleyen en aptal halime gülen
Sana kızgın, sana hasret yine ben, yine ben
Neden bilmem
Kusura bakma seni unutamadım
Bu benim hatam ne yapsam olduramadım
Alev alev yanıyor can kafesim
Kesilir nefesim seni bırakamadım
Kusura bakma seni unutamadım
Bu benim hatam ne yapsam olduramadım
Alev alev yanıyor can kafesim
Kesilir nefesim seni bırakamadım
Kusura bakma seni unutamadım
Bu benim hatam ne yapsam olur amadım
Alev alev yanıyor can kafesim
Kesilir nefesim seni bırakamadım
Kusura bakma seni unutamadım
Bu benim hatam ne yapsam olduramadım
Alev alev yanıyor can kafesim
Kesilir nefesim seni bırakamadım
(English Translation)
Suddenly you came to my mind, from deep inside me
A part of you in my heart that never ends, from its purest place
Really, the one laughing at my dumbest self as I wait
Angry at you, longing for you, again it’s me, again it’s me
I don’t know why
Forgive me, I couldn’t forget you
It’s my fault, no matter what I did I couldn’t make it work
My soul’s cage is burning flame by flame
My breath cuts off, I couldn’t let you go
Forgive me, I couldn’t forget you
It’s my fault, no matter what I did I couldn’t make it work
My soul’s cage is burning flame by flame
My breath cuts off, I couldn’t let you go
Forgive me, I couldn’t forget you
It’s my fault, no matter what I did I couldn’t make it work
My soul’s cage is burning flame by flame
My breath cuts off, I couldn’t let you go
Forgive me, I couldn’t forget you
It’s my fault, no matter what I did I couldn’t make it work
My soul’s cage is burning flame by flame
My breath cuts off, I couldn’t let you go
