Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Genesis of an Anthem of Hope
“Geççek” is a single by Tarkan that captured attention not only for its unmistakable sound but also for its profoundly timely and hopeful message. The lyrics and music are entirely the work of Tarkan himself, with the arrangement curated by his trusted collaborator Ozan Çolakoğlu, production by Hitt Music, and impeccable mastering by Sterling Sound in the United States, guaranteeing sound quality of the highest level.
Tarkan revealed that the inspiration for “Geççek” came to him during a period when he felt particularly discouraged due to the pandemic and other environmental and social issues. This personal genesis is crucial to understanding the song’s intent. “I wanted to write a song that would be very beautiful for all of us,” Tarkan explained, emphasizing his desire to offer a glimmer of hope and resilience in difficult times.
The song was officially launched on Tarkan’s YouTube channel on February 17, 2022, quickly becoming a phenomenon.

The Music Video: A Metaphor for Chaos and Rebirth
The music video accompanying “Geççek,” directed by İrfan Yıldırım, is a veritable cinematic work, complex and ambitious. Filming took place across more than twenty different locations in Istanbul, involving around 30 actors and a large production crew of 60 people.
The visual narration is as powerful as the song’s message. The clip opens with scenes of heavy traffic, an immediate symbol of the chaos and frenzy of modern life. Tarkan himself appears in the enigmatic role of a hacker with a black hood, whose image is projected ubiquitously: from electronic device screens to giant billboards in Istanbul. This visual representation suggests a subtle yet pervasive presence of the song’s message.
The video then shows a sequence of different segments of society, capturing the daily life and challenges faced by many people: public transport users, remote workers due to the pandemic, frontline healthcare workers, textile workers, and students. This inclusivity reinforces the idea that the message of “Geççek” is universal, addressing anyone going through a difficult time who needs to believe that “it will pass.”
3. Deep Dive: Lyrical Analysis and the Value of Resilience
The pulsing heart of “Geççek” is its message of resilience and optimism. Tarkan, as the author, uses direct, almost conversational language to create a sense of community and encouragement. The repetition of the chorus is not just a musical choice, but an emotional mantra expressing certainty: “It will pass, it will certainly pass, this too will pass.”
English Translation of the Track Geççek – It Will Pass:
Didn’t it always corner you? Didn’t it stab us in the back already? What kind of blow is this? It’s not the first, after all. Yes, we fell, but didn’t we get up? Haven’t we always challenged life? Cheer up, what haven’t we overcome?
[Artistic and Social Valorization]: Tarkan demonstrates a deep empathy with his audience, acknowledging difficulties (the pandemic, social problems) and then offering the key to rebirth: patience and unity. The track does not deny the pain but frames it in a historical perspective: “what haven’t we overcome?”
It will pass, it will certainly pass, this too will pass. Look and brighten the day of hope Ooo Then we’ll put on the cymbals and dance, OOo believe me the days of flowers are very near.
You’ve gone too far, we’re losing our minds. You didn’t stop, you didn’t give in, now it’s enough, we are terribly overwhelmed, get out of the way. In every evil there is good. We sat down and learned many lessons.
[The Triumph of Patience]: The phrase “But the end of patience is peace, I wait. I know what will rise before the dawn” is the lyrical climax. This powerful metaphor underscores the Turkish cultural value of sabr (patience) as a virtue that inevitably precedes victory and happiness. Tarkan, through his music, acts as a spokesperson for a profound wisdom.
