Deli
Turkey 2008 Eurovision Song
Aranıyor sahibi ruhumun, tam yerine mi düştüm?
direniyor faili tutkunun, kızmış ve küçülmüş
aranıyor sahibi ruhumun, tam yerine mi düştüm?
direniyor, direniyor, direniyor…
beni büyütün, ağlatmayın, sevginiz nerde, övündüğünüz?
beni büyütün, aldatmayın, sahte düşlerle oyalamayın.
aranıyor sahibi ruhumun, tam yerine mi düştüm?
direniyor faili tutkunun, kızmış ve küçülmüş.
aranıyor sahibi ruhumun, tam yerine mi düştüm?
direniyor, direniyor, direniyor…
beni büyütün, ağlatmayın, sevginiz nerde, övündüğünüz?
beni büyütün, aldatmayın, sahte düşlerle oyalamayın.
bir yarım akıllı, bir yarım deli dört yanım akıllı, bir yanım
deli herkes akıllı, bir ben deli bir ben deli, bir ben deli…
beni büyütün, ağlatmayın, sevginiz nerde, övündüğünüz?
beni büyütün, aldatmayın, sahte düşlerle oyalamayın.
English Translation
Insane (Crazy)
The owner of my soul is looked for
Did I land in the right place?
The perpetrator of my passion is resisting
He’s angry and diminished
The owner of my soul is looked for
Did I land in the right place?
He’s resisting, resisting, resisting
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Where’s the love you’re proud of?
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time with fake dreams
The owner of my soul is looked for
Did I land in the right place?

The owner of my soul is looked for
Did I land in the right place?
He’s resisting, resisting, resisting
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Where’s the love you’re proud of?
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time with fake dreams
I’m one half sane, one half insane
I’m four sides sane, one side insane
Everybody is sane, only I am insane
Only I am insane, only I am insane
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Where’s the love you’re proud of?
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time with fake dreams
Wow, this song is something I just can’t describe. The music is adorable. The singer has a beautiful and memorable voice which make me feel exactly what the song is saying “raise me don’t make me cry, where’s the love your proud of?” Ohhhhh, I lovvvvvvvvvveeeeeee this song.
I adore this song and the way traditional Turkish music is mixed w/rock and metal.. The lyrics are wonderful..I’ve learned this by heart, and I am from Serbia…Love
so good! mor ve otesi was so amazing, i’d like it! loves from russia.
wonderfull!!! this song deserved to be at the top 5! but it didn’t. with this song and we could be the same, I understood that we make very good rock music!!!
tebr,kler mor ve ötesi
Wonderful song but translate is very bad çok iyi çevirmişsin mertcik emeğine sağlık 🙂
I think this was one of the best Turkish entries since 1975; simply up there with For Real (2004) and Sufi (1988); but, hey, this is just me. I have always loved Seninle Bir Dakika (1975) and Sevince (1978). 😀 (Two songs that got abysmal results, and ones Turkish people love to hate.)
Here is what I have to say about Mor ve Otesi’s Eurovision adventure: They delivered an Eurovision song without compromising their standards, something I cannot say for most of the earlier participants.
one of my turkish friend send to me
and i was so damn in love with the singer’s voice
although i didn’t understand what he was saying but it was sound nice ..
and thanx that u translated for us .. the lyric very nice
=]
I loved ‘Deli’, beautiful song!! Although I dont understand a word he is sing, love the music and the lyrics. I have just seen the Turkish entry for 2009, omg!!!! WTF!! Please can we have less wall paper song, mini shirt and sex up acts? It is boring boring and boring……
I think it was one of the trully best songs!!this and the jewish one and the serbian too should have been the first three!! I loved this rock band !! they are GREAT!!! the leading voice is super !!BrAvO guys!!!
A fantastic song from a fantastic band…
hmmm i have a cousin called Malaika too…how weird xD
So glad I got to know this fantastic rockband
through the Eurosong circus. So the contest is not all bad. Great performance. Love all the
music of Mor ve Ötesi ! Greetings from Belgium
Wow, what a great rockband. They sound terrific !! Nice guitarsound, good songs and beautifullll voice from frontman. Very good
performance in Eurosong. Very refreshing in
this circus !!
And even if I’m from Russia and I’m real patriot I think that Turkey’s song and performance were better! I agree with Liya!
I really love this song! It’s incredible!
And video is also very nice!
It’s first time I listen to this group and I think they’re great!
turkey was fantastic yesterday…song is exciting:) i like..very good…turkey had to bet winners 🙂
mmm, i think that song was the best one in the eurovision 2008! it’s excellent and very touching.
the guy performed brilliantly!
i wished that song won!
never knew Turkey have such good singer! much better than Tirkan or was he Tarkan!? anyway, very very good luck Mor ve otesi! i’m sure you’ll do very well in the future.
regards

I’d prefer if Turkish entry was something with traditional sound but… I wont complain if Deli wins

EWW that is the worst translation ever..btw i found the legit translation. its like 10x better than that one.
Sought, the owner of my soul
Did I fall right into the spot?
Resisting, the subject of my passion
Angered and shrunken
Sought, the owner of my soul
Did I fall right into the spot?
Resisting, resisting, resisting…
Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Where is the love
You’re so proud of
Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time
With fake dreams
Sought, the owner of my soul
Did I fall right into the spot?
Resisting, the subject of my passion
Angered and shrunken
Sought, the owner of my soul
Did I fall right into the spot?
Resisting, resisting, resisting…
Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Where is the love
You’re so proud of
Raise me
Don’t deceive me
With fake dreams
Half sane, half crazy I am
Crazy, one side of me,
Everybody else is sane,
Crazy, only me
Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Where is the love
You’re so proud of
Raise me
Don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time
With fake dreams

I would expect something much more powerful than this from Turkey… Turkey can do better but the song is ok I guess
It just starts off but doesn’t go really far 🙁
Mor ve Otesi super :)) Good luck guys
12 points goes to Turkey from Azerbaijan lafi mi olur:)))luv ya
oh and the song is Çok super!!!
I thought sevginiz means *lovely*..hm..
it seems like they have made different language versions of this too….http://delirium.fm/lyrics.php but it has no videos and I can’t find any videos of them singing in any of those languages either….
Çok kötü çevirilmiş ingilizceye, iyikide öyle olmuş çünkü baya bir avrupanın kafasına kafasına vurmuş grup sözlerle…
