On October 29, 2023, to mark the centennial of the Turkish Republic, Megastar Tarkan honored his nation with a profound and meaningful track: “Sen Rahat Uyu” (Rest in Peace). This single isn’t just a song; it’s a true anthem entirely composed and written by Tarkan, with arrangements by Ateş Berker Öngören. The song’s release was preceded by a special announcement on Instagram on May 19, 2023, a date commemorating Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day. Tarkan shared with his fans not only news of this musical tribute but also a striking image of himself alongside Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, created with artificial intelligence, emphasizing the connection between Turkey’s past, present, and future.
“Sen Rahat Uyu” is an ode to the Republic’s founder, Atatürk, and the values it represents. Through this track, Tarkan not only celebrates a century of history but also invites reflection on the legacy and spirit of an entire nation, reinforcing his role not just as a world-renowned artist but also as an influential and patriotic voice. It’s a piece that resonates deeply in the hearts of Turks, symbolizing unity and gratitude.
Lyrics translation English Sen Rahat Uyu – Rest Peacefully
Rest peacefully,
You are in our hearts at all times.
Rest peacefully, we always follow in your footsteps, my father.
This love for you is forever.
This fire within us never goes out, it always burns.
You drowned the darkness in your light.
You were born as hope from those misty horizons.
This love for you lasts forever.
This fire within us never goes out, it always burns.
This Nation found the key to civilization in you,
You opened the doors of light to this Country with the Republic.
Rest in peace, we are the guides of your path.
Rest in peace, we are the guardians of truth.
This love for you is forever.
This fire within us never goes out, it always burns.
This Nation found the key to civilization in you,
You opened the doors of light to this Country with the Republic.
Rest in peace, my father, I will never let your name be tainted, we are always on alert.
Rest in peace, my father, don’t worry,
The history you wrote will always be an epic story.

This love for you is forever.
This fire within us never goes out, it always burns.
