Song Meaning of “Oflaya Oflaya – Ceceli Versiyon” by Burcu Güneş
Oflaya Oflaya – Ceceli Versiyon is a thoughtful melancholic ballad by Turkish singer, songwriter Burcu Güneş. The song is about aching for a former lover and accepting the inevitable end of a relationship with heavy emotions and tears.
The song opens up with the longing of the narrator’s heart as she sings “Kanatlar çekti özgürlüğe, neyi buldu bilinmez” (wings have been set free, we don’t know what they found). This suggests that the person in the song parted ways with the former lover and is now free, but doesn’t know where his/her life will lead. In the chorus, the narrator desperately mourns her lost love by singing “Oflaya oflaya, hasret kahrı nefesimde//Oflaya oflaya, gözyaşları yüzümde” (Oh, Oh, my longing and pain in my breath // Oh, Oh, my tears on my face). This could refer to the infinite sadness of saying goodbye to a beloved one, leaving the narrator in a hopeless void of pain.
