Tarkan’s Album Dünyayı sesiyle resmeden sanatçı. Her not, bir başyapıtThe artist who painted the world with his voice. Each note,
“Geççek” is a Tarkan single that’s grabbed attention not just for its unmistakable sound, but also for its deeply timely and hopeful message. Both the lyrics and music are entirely Tarkan’s work, with arrangements by his trusted collaborator Ozan Çolakoğlu, production by Hitt Music, and impeccable mastering by Sterling Sound in the United States, ensuring top-tier sound quality. Tarkan revealed that the inspiration for “Geççek” came to him about a year before its release, during a period when he felt particularly discouraged due to the pandemic and other environmental and social issues. This personal genesis is crucial for understanding the song’s intent. “I wanted to write a song that would be very good for all of us,” Tarkan explained, emphasizing his desire to offer a glimmer of hope and resilience during difficult times. The song officially launched on Tarkan’s YouTube channel on February 17, 2022, quickly becoming a phenomenon. The 4-minute music video accompanying “Geççek” is a true cinematic work, directed by İrfan Yıldırım. Filming was complex and ambitious, taking place in over twenty different locations across Istanbul, involving around 30 actors and a large production crew of 60 people, totaling four days of intense work. The visual narrative 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 hooded hacker, whose image is ubiquitously projected: from electronic device screens to giant billboards in Istanbul, and even into the visual field of a child immersed in virtual reality with VR goggles. This visual representation suggests a subtle but pervasive presence of the song’s message. The video then showcases a montage of different segments of society, capturing the daily lives and challenges faced by many: public transport users, people working from home due to the pandemic, frontline healthcare workers, textile workers, and students studying remotely. This inclusivity reinforces the idea that “Geççek”‘s message is universal, reaching anyone going through a difficult period who needs to believe that “it will pass.” Through its engaging melody and deeply empathetic video, the song solidifies its place as an anthem of hope and a reminder that even the darkest moments are destined to pass.

English lyrics translation Geççek – It will pass
Didn’t it always corner you?
Hasn’t it already stabbed us in the back?
What kind of blow is this? It’s not the first, after all.
Yes, we fell, but didn’t we get back up?
Haven’t we always defied life?
Cheer up, what haven’t we overcome?
It will pass, this too shall certainly pass. Look and brighten the day of hope. Ooo, then we’ll get the cymbals out and dance, Ooo, believe me, the days of flowers are very near.
It will pass as it came, so it will go away. Everything has an end, even this suffering. Then we’ll get the cymbals out and dance, believe me, the days of flowers are very near. Wait, most of it is gone, only a little remains. Don’t do it! Don’t drown your summer in autumn and winter. The victory of patience is near. Yes, we fell, but didn’t we get back up?
Haven’t we always defied life?
Cheer up, what haven’t we overcome?
It will pass as it came, so it will go away. Everything has an end, even this suffering. Then we’ll get the cymbals out and dance, 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 that’s enough, we’re terribly overwhelmed, get out of here. In every evil, there is good. We sat down and learned many lessons. But now it’s enough, we’ve understood. Come, my father, come to us now! If you ask me, I’m not doing too well either. My old joy is gone. I have neither salt nor pepper anymore (I no longer find flavor in things). My body is too tight, too tight for my soul. I’m burning so much, I’m about to turn to ash. I go against the current and take different directions. But the end of patience is peace, I wait. I know what will rise before dawn.
