The most direct reference is the song recorded by Bergen in her 1989 album Yıllar Affetmez .
The lyrics describe a person who hides their pain ("ağlarken güldüğümü" — laughing while crying), suggesting that sorrow makes one a stranger even to themselves.
Song by Bergen (Lyrics by Selami Şahin or traditional Arabesque themes). Melancholy, seeking patience, hidden suffering. Main Message
