Ben Dul Bir Kadınım - Sezen Aksu

Copied!

{Intro}
I'm a divorced woman
So I can't just be with anyone I want
I'm a divorced woman
I can't roam around as I crave
If I go somewhere with a girlfriend
If I accidentally smile and say hello to a man
Or dress up and adorn myself a bit too much
Gossip arises, because I'm a divorced woman

{Verse 1}
I'm a divorced woman
If one day I like someone again
If we're together
If we're seen side by side a few times
Then the gossip wheels start turning fast
"Let's see if he'll take you," the rumor goes around
The man's family, a decеnt man panic
Things get messy, becausе I'm a divorced woman

{Refrain}
I'm a divorced woman
I bear a thousand pressures on my shoulders
Whether I'm right or wrong
It doesn't matter, I've been divorced once

{Verse 2}
Apparently, I have feelings too, who cares about those?
I have no choice, I submitted to fate
Not I, but the rules decide about me
My prestige always depends on a man
Apparently, I have feelings too, who cares about those?
I have no choice, I submitted to fate
Not I, but the rules decide about me
My prestige always depends on a man

{Outro}
Mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh
Aah-aah
Aah-aah
