Eşref Rüya’s ”Ortada Kaldım”Lyrics

We heard it in the passionate scenes of Episode 12 of Eşref Rüya — and it lingered long after.

Now, I’m thrilled to share the full track “Ortada Kaldım” by Atilla Volga, whose musical genius I deeply admire.

The piece is named by Timur Savcı, one of Turkey’s most iconic and principled producers. (TIMS&B)

Please, don’t skip the ending — the brilliance is quietly hidden there. 🙂

Lyrics (English Translation):

I dreamed dreams, and I tore them down.

I grew tired of being at war with myself.

I stood straight, stayed true;

First to you, then to myself.

I played my cards, laid my heart out — open game.

I couldn’t say “go,”

I couldn’t say “stay”;

I was stuck in between.

I couldn’t make promises,

I gave no vows,

I couldn’t lie.
