The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Tek Korkum" by the artist "Ya#351;ru"

In the song Tek Korkum ("My Only Fear") by Ya#351;ru, the author addresses Gök-Tengri, the supreme deity in Turkic mythology, embodying the Heavenly Sky. The author paints an image of an omnipresent deity hidden in natural phenomena: in mountains, rain, forests, rivers, the gaze of a wolf, the sun, the moon, and the stars. Gök-Tengri is also present beyond time, in the very heart of nature, in the customs of the Turkic people.

The lyrical hero expresses deep reverence and admiration for Gök-Tengri, comparing his anticipation of meeting the deity to thirst awaiting water, darkness awaiting light, and lungs yearning for air. He asks the question: "When will you call me to you?", expressing his readiness to appear before the deity and acknowledging the inevitability of this moment.

The hero does not fear death. The only thing that worries him is the separation from his beloved, the inability to say goodbye to her. He asks Gök-Tengri for only one thing – the opportunity before death to see his beloved, to touch her, to feel her breath.

The repeating refrain "When will you call me to you?" emphasizes the inevitability of fate and the constant presence of the divine in the hero's life.

Yalçın dağların üstünde

Yağmurun sesinde

Kuzgunun ötüşünde

Sen varsın bilirim.

Ormanların kalbinde

Irmakların içinde

Borunun gözlerinde

Sen varsın ulu Gök Tengri

Güneşin ısısında

Ayın ışığında

Yıldızların uzağında

Sen varsın bilirim.

Zamanın dışında

Doğanın ruhunda

Türk'ün töresinde

Sen varsın ulu Gök Tengri.

[Solo]

Suya hasret kalmış dudaklar gibi

Işık bekleyen karanlıklar gibi

Nefessiz kalmış ciğerler gibi

Ne zaman kendine çekeceksin beni?

Zaman rüzgar gibi esip geçerken

Son savaşım ne zaman hiç bilmeden

Kavimle kardaşla vedalaşmadan

Ne zaman kendine çekeceksin beni?

En karanlık göklerden gelen

Yıldırımlar altında bekleyen

Başka hiçbir şeye boyun eğmeyen

Ne zaman kendine çekeceksin beni?

[Solo]

Elbet bir gün beni alıp dönülmez uzaklara

Katacaksın sonsuzluğa

Sevdiğimden ayrılmak, onu yapayalnız bırakmak

Tek sebebi bu göz yaşımın, bu korkularımın.

Son kez görmeden sevdiğimi, tutmadan ellerini

Hissetmeden nefesini

Düşersem bu toprağa, fırsat ver n'olur bana

Sevdiğime son bir veda etmek yeter bana

Zaman rüzgar gibi esip geçerken

Son savaşım ne zaman hiç bilmeden

Kavimle kardaşla vedalaşmadan

Ne zaman kendine çekeceksin beni?

En karanlık göklerden gelen

Yıldırımlar altında bekleyen

Başka hiçbir şeye boyun eğmeyen

Ne zaman kendine çekeceksin beni?
