Unutamazsın (You Can't Forget) was the Turkish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham, performed by Tüzmen.
During rehearsals, as seen through a BBC one documentary, he struggled to get the song under the three-minute limit. After each attempt he called over to the stagehand for the time and was usually 12 or 15 seconds over the limit, before eventually getting it just under the limit.
It was performed 24th on the night, following Estonia and preceding North Macedonia. At the close of voting, it placed 14th with 25 points.

Yalnızlığım çaldı yine sessiz kapımı
Karanlığa giden yolu unutmuşken
Yitirmişiz dünleri biz hep yarınlarda
Ağla kalbim, ağla, çünkü bu son fırtına
Yazık olur ikimize sevgimize
Hüzünlere çekme bizi bir nefeste
Senden kalan tek şey sana tutsaklığımsa
Ağla kalbim, daha çok var aydınlığa
Neden ayrılsın ellerimiz
Sevgiyle bakan gözlerimiz?
Yalnızken hani atmaz dururdu, yüreklerimiz?
Unutamazsın yıllar geçse
Saçlarımıza aklar düşse
Unutturamaz bizi bize, hiç kimse
Yalnızlığım çaldı yine sessiz kapımı
Karanlığa giden yolu unutmuşken
Yitirmişiz dünleri biz hep yarınlarda
Ağla kalbim, daha çok var aydınlığa
Neden ayrılsın ellerimiz
Sevgiyle bakan gözlerimiz?
Yalnızken hani atmaz dururdu, yüreklerimiz?
Unutamazsın yıllar geçse
Saçlarımıza aklar düşse
Unutturamaz bizi bize, hiç kimse
Unutamazsın yıllar geçse
Saçlarımıza aklar düşse
Unutturamaz bizi bize, hiç kimse
Hiç kimse
My loneliness knocked on my silent door again
When I had forgotten the path to darkness
We have lost the yesterdays, longing for tomorrows
Cry, my heart cry, ’cause this is the final storm
It will be a waste for us, for our love
Don’t draw us to sorrow in one breath
If my captivity to you is the only thing that you have left me
Cry my heart, there is a lot of time for the light
Why should our hands
Part our loving eyes?
Didn’t our hearts stop beating, when we were apart?
You can’t forget even if years pass by
Even if our hair begins to turn grey
No one can make us forget each other
My loneliness knocked on my silent door again
When I had forgotten the path to darkness
We have lost the yesterdays, longing for tomorrows
Cry, my heart cry, ’cause this is the final storm
Why should our hands
Part our loving eyes?
Didn’t our hearts stop beating, when we were apart?
You can’t forget even if years pass by
Even if our hair begins to turn grey
No one can make us forget each other
You can’t forget even if years pass by
Even if our hair begins to turn grey
No one can make us forget each other
Each other
