Tarkan’s Album Dünyayı sesiyle resmeden sanatçı. Her not, bir başyapıtThe artist who painted the world with his voice. Each note,
The year 2010 marked the release of “Sevdanın Son Vuruşu” (The Final Blow of Love), a Tarkan single that captured the hearts of the Turkish public with a story of rediscovery and tribute. This track, included in his acclaimed album “Adımı Kalbine Yaz” (Write My Name on Your Heart), has an almost fairy-tale origin. The song’s lyrics were penned by the legendary Turkish songwriter Aysel Gürel, who sadly passed away in 2008. After her death, fate intervened when a new tenant found the forgotten lyrics in Gürel’s apartment. With permission from Gürel’s daughter, Müjde Ar, Tarkan decided to compose the music for these lost verses, breathing new life into a work by the great poet. First launched on the internet in May 2010, the song quickly dominated national radio stations, garnering immense appreciation. Its popularity was so significant that the album was later sold in an innovative format, included on a 2 GB microSD memory card, a testament to the times and the digital impact of Tarkan’s music. “Sevdanın Son Vuruşu” is a pop anthem that merges the emotional depth of Gürel’s words with Tarkan’s distinctive music and interpretation, creating an unforgettable piece that profoundly resonates with themes of love and loss.

Aysel Gürel: The Explosive Soul of Words (1929-2008)
Born on February 7, 1929, in the Sarayköy District and passing away on February 17, 2008, in Istanbul, Gönül Aysel Gürel, better known as Aysel Gürel, was an iconic figure in Turkish culture. She was not only a prolific lyricist whose words brought countless hits to life across Turkey but also an actress and an eccentric personality.
Gürel was renowned for her flamboyant style: her extravagant clothes, bold makeup, and colorful wigs made her unmistakable. Her life and art were an ode to freedom of expression, and her ability to capture complex emotions in simple verses made her one of the most beloved and respected lyricists of her time. “Sevdanın Son Vuruşu” is just one of many testaments to her lyrical genius, immortalized in part by Tarkan’s interpretation.
