One song — changed an entire life and reopened the door to creativity (video)

One of the most expressive and heartfelt singers of the Azerbaijani scene — Roza Zergerli — recently admitted that she was going to leave the stage, but thanks to the song "Istədim" she returned to creating again.

"Istədim" — the song that revived the soul

In her interview, Zergerli said:

"I was going to keep this song to myself. But my daughter told me, ‘Mom, this song will make you famous all over the world. Share it with the people.’ Then I understood — this song wasn’t just for me, it was for thousands of hearts."

The lyrics — about love, pain and hope

The lyrics reflect emotions of longing, vulnerability, and the last spark of hope:

"I only wanted your attention.
I wanted to be loved by you and I always waited for you.
I needed your love. If only you knew.
If you came to me, it would be enough if I could at least feel your scent.

I gave you everything — my life, my time, and even the keys to my heart.
I wanted to be loved by you. I always waited for you and looked down the road.
I needed your love. If only you knew.
I dreamed that you would come to me. I would lean, I only wanted to feel your scent.

Every time I looked at the road,
It seemed to me I saw you, but then your image faded away.
Knowing that you are loved is important.
But by the time you reach me, your “rose” will have withered.

We are given only one life, why torment it?
How could you break a person who gave you their soul?
I try to suppress my feelings, but they still live inside me.
If only you knew how hard it is to love you, while I can't even touch you.

I only wanted your attention.
I wanted to be loved by you and I always waited for you.
I needed your love. I wanted you to know that.
If you came to me, if only I could feel your scent.

I gave you everything — my life, my time, and even the keys to my heart.
I wanted your love. I always waited for you, staring at the road.
I needed your love. If only you could see.
If you could come to me, I would only want to feel your scent."

According to fans, the song touches the deepest corners of the soul for anyone who has ever loved.

Returning to the stage — a voice from within

According to Zergerli, she felt she was drifting away not just from art, but from life itself. But "Istədim" awakened something inside her:

"This song stopped me from quitting. It brought me back to the stage and to the hearts of people."

A song — not just a melody, but a letter, a plea, a sigh

To Roza Zergerli, "Istədim" is more than a musical piece. It is a cry from the soul, a confession of pain and love that only true hearts can understand. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
