Bm
Ne gece ne yakamoz, ne sahil ne de deniz
Em                    A
Sen yokken buralarda, biz hep kaybedeniz
Bm
Ne sohbet ne muhabbet, bi' masa ve de hasret
Em                 A
Kalbime demir attı gözlerin beni affet

     Bm                                A
Arıyorum buralarda, baktım oralarda da yoksun
              Em                A
Aklımı aldın, inandım ben sana, neden diye sorma
Em              A
Ben nasıl da körmüşüm

     Bm                                A
Arıyorum buralarda, baktım oralarda da yoksun
                Em               A
Kalbimi söktün, koydun ateşlere, böyle gidişlere
Em           A
Yokluğunla ölmüşüm

Bm
Ne huzur ne de keder, söyle bu nasıl kader
Em                A
Kötüyü bilirim de umut hepsinden beter
Bm
Susarım konuşamam, severim kavuşamam
Em                  A
Dünyayla savaşırım, yokluğunla savaşamam

Harmony analysis

Pera – Arıyorum: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Bm and ends on A. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

D major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = C# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = G (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

B minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = A (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it opens on Bm and Bm is heard 8 times while D never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 3 different chords appear 32 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

Em A Dii → Vii → V Bmiv → VII ×10
A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×6

The move to watch is Em → A, heard 10 times. From the Bm side it is iv → VII; from the D side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Bm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is A, Em, Bm — V–ii–vi from the D side, VII–iv–i from the Bm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Em → A (ii → V in D, iv → VII in Bm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on A, letting the D side have the last word.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
