Can we say that the lyrics to this song were written with a Neoplatonic philosophy?

For all things philosophical.

Lan (you hear me!)

Bana sen gerek, şu küslüğü bırak
Gel konuşalım ordan burdan
Bahçemin deli, ey yaman gülü
Feda uğruna, yansın bu orman

It's you I need, leave this sullenness (silence).
Come, let's talk of this and that.
O, the wild, fierce rose of my garden,
For your sake, let this forest burn.

Sana ben ezelden geldim, lan
Bi' çağır hele bak, bu yerde durmam
O kara göze, kaşa ben ki kurban
Taşıyor umudum aşkımdan

I’ve come to you from eternity itself, you hear me!
Just call for me, you'll see, I won’t stay in this place.
I am a sacrifice for those dark eyes, those brows.
My hope is overflowing from this love of mine.

Sana ben ezelden yandım, lan
Bi' çağır hele daha, bu yerde durmam
O kara göze, kaşa ben ki kurban
Taşıyor umudum aşkımdan

I’ve been on fire for you since eternity, you hear me!
Just you call for me, I'm not staying in this place any longer.
I am a sacrifice for those dark eyes, those brows.
My hope is overflowing from this love of mine.


Söylemiyorum, çok özledim ama
Hasretin ağır, gel de kurtar
Ben inanırım, bu aşk bize umar
Kimse edemez onu tahtından

I'm not saying it, but I've missed you so much.
This longing is heavy, come and rescue me.
I believe (that) this love holds hope for us,
No one can cast it from its throne.

Sana ben ezelden geldim, lan
Bi' çağır hele daha, bu yerde durmam
O kara göze, kaşa ben ki kurban
Taşıyor umudum aşkımdan

I’ve come to you from eternity itself, you hear me!
Just you call for me, I'm not staying in this place any longer.
I am a sacrifice for those dark eyes, those brows.
My hope is overflowing from this love of mine.

Geçmişin yükü şimdi toz duman
Bembeyaz defterim, her sayfam
Sen benim alın yazımsın, tamam
Silmeye ne mecal, ne derman

The burden of the past is now dust and smoke,
My notebook is pristine white, every single page.
You are my destiny, that's final.
I have neither the strength nor the power to erase it.

Sana ben ezelden geldim, lan
Bi' çağır hele bak, bu yerde durmam
O kara göze, kaşa ben ki kurban
Taşıyor umudum aşkımdan

I’ve come to you from eternity itself, you hear me!
Just call for me, you'll see, I won’t stay in this place.
I am a sacrifice for those dark eyes, those brows.
My hope is overflowing from this love of mine.



I’ve come to you from eternity itself, you hear me! (When we look at this line of the song, we see a poet who believes his existence is eternal, just like Plato and Plotinus.)

the poet is in hell but doesn't know it...
