Sezen Aksu - Begonvil lyrics translation in English | Musixmatch

If you'd like, I can help you or suggest similar Aegean-themed songs from her catalog.

: Comprehensive English translations can be found on Musixmatch .

: The lyrics evoke sensory details like the scent of jasmine, the blue of the Aegean sea, and the sight of bougainvillea in full bloom.

: A key moment in the song mentions "hitting the bottom of the mastic raki" ( sakız rakısı ), symbolizing a moment of raw, alcohol-induced vulnerability where one finally lets out their tears.

Originally released on her 2018 album Demo (and later as a single in 2024), the song captures the distinct atmosphere of Bodrum and the Turkish coast.
