Mor ve Ötesi – Deli

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 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

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Wonderful song but translate is very bad çok iyi çevirmişsin mertcik emeğine sağlık 🙂

  5. 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.

  6. 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
    =]

  7. 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……

  8. 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!!!

  9. 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

  10. 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 !!

  11. 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!

  12. 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!

    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 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 🙁

  18. Mor ve Otesi super :)) Good luck guys
