Bbm                      Ebm
Bomboş koca dünyanın her durur
          Gb          Bbm
Hep dersin, istersin azalsın
                     Ebm        Gb
Yüküm ağır ağır, omuzlarım düşer yerlere
Bbm                       Ebm              Gb
Anla, derdini kimseler dinlemez, işine geleni bilir herkes
Bbm                          Ebm       Gb
Yakmaz canımı bu kez, serinletir içimi sen'le bir anı

Bbm                    Ebm     Gb
Sen kaldın, içimde bi' ben yandım, boş yere tabii
Bbm                    Ebm       Db        Bbm
Sen kaldın, içimde bi' yerdesin, bi' yerde

Ebm          Gb
Kara geceler üzerime titreyen
Bbm
Bi'çok sözüm var beni bekleyen
Ebm               Db
Ne çok hırsın var tükenip bitmeyen

Bbm
 Sabrımdan aldırmam
Ebm                 Gb
Düşenle işimiz yok, akıllara kârında
Bbm
Güvenli dağlar hep tutundu dallara
Ebm             Db
Yüzüme gülenler bilenir ardımdan

Bbm                    Ebm     Gb
Sen kaldın, içimde bi' ben yandım, boş yere tabii
Bbm                    Ebm       Db        Bbm
Sen kaldın, içimde bi' yerdesin, bi' yerde

Harmony analysis

Semicenk – Sen Kaldın: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

Db major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

Bb minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Gb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Ab (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bbm and Bbm is heard 13 times against 4 for Db. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db 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 Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 37 times in total; 4 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

Gb Bbm DbIV → vi BbmVI → iVI → i ×8

The move to watch is Gb → Bbm, heard 8 times. From the Bbm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the Db side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Db major pentatonic and Bb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Db – Eb – F – Ab – Bb): start from Db for a brighter phrase, from Bb for a bluesier one.
Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gb, land on Gb, Bb, Db — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Bbm, Ebm, Gb, Db carry the song: vi–ii–IV–I relative to Db, i–iv–VI–III relative to Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gb → Bbm (IV → vi in Db, VI → i in Bbm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Bbm, letting the Bbm 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.
