Tarkan’s Album Dünyayı sesiyle resmeden sanatçı. Her not, bir başyapıtThe artist who painted the world with his voice. Each note,
Before the highly anticipated release of his tenth studio album, Turkish Megastar Tarkan surprised the public on July 14, 2016, with the launch of his new single, “Cuppa,” made available on all digital platforms and produced by DMC. The track “Cuppa” bears the signature of one of the most respected figures in Turkish music: the lyrics and music were entirely written by Sezen Aksu, a true legend in the music scene. The song’s arrangement was handled by Tarkan’s trusted collaborator, Ozan Çolakoğlu, ensuring a distinctive and high-quality sound, typical of their joint productions. Tarkan himself explained the decision to release “Cuppa” as a pre-album single with these words: “We have 12 songs we prepared for the album. We got together as a team and decided that ‘Cuppa’ is the most suitable track to kick off the summer season. We uploaded the song last night and this morning, without any advertising slogans, we announced that our song was published on social media. We made a very quick decision, but we believe it’s the right one. ‘Cuppa’ is the most suitable song to open the summer season.” This statement highlights Tarkan’s strategy and confidence in the track, launching it with a direct and spontaneous approach that caught fans and media by surprise, creating an immediate buzz. The choice of “Cuppa” as a summer opener suggests a track with an engaging rhythm and positive energy, typical of Tarkan’s summer hits.

English lyrics translation Cuppa
Hey, crew! Get moving, don’t stop… Hey, crew! Hey, hey, hey!
Don’t turn on the TV, don’t answer the phone. It’s pathetic, it makes no sense.
Everything’s for sale… hearts are hard – love sleeps in the hustle and bustle of people.
A cup, a cup, a cup of tea.
Let’s sing at the top of our lungs, go, go!
Let’s dance till morning, a cuppa, a cuppa, a cup of tea.
Hey, friends! Get moving, don’t stop… Hey, friends!
Hey, hey, hey! Don’t give up,
We were born into this order, where one offends the other. Is that possible? Who cares. Curses and the end of the world.
Some people think like that… For once, forgive the other’s resentment – If one way doesn’t work, try another. Everyone should do it.
A cup, a cup,
A cup of tea, tea.
Let’s sing at the top of our lungs, go, go!
Let’s dance till morning.
Hey, crew! Get moving, don’t stop… Hey, crew! Hey, hey, hey! Don’t give up,
There’s no remedy, we’ll burn too…
We’ll fall in love with someone, we’ll hit rock bottom first, of course we’ll also take off.
A cup, a cup, a cup of tea, tea. Let’s sing at the top of our lungs, go, go!
Let’s dance till morning.
A cup, a cup,
A cup of tea, tea.
Hey, crew!
Hey, hey, hey!
