Söyle bana
Neden hep kader, ödetti bedel
Bir tarafım dert hala yangına
Ab
Koştum bilmeden hiç düşünmeden
Gb Ab Bbm
Herkes yanımdaydı bir an düşene dek
Bbm
Denedim yeter sonu görmeden
Ab
Üstesinden gelemem hala galiba
Gb
Tükenmişim ben bir yanım hisseder
Bbm
Kalkamam bu yerden tutmazsan elimden
Bbm
Kırdın kırk yerimden
Kalkta tut elimden
Çıkmam hiç sözünden senin
Kördüm hep dururken
Ab
Soldu gözlerimde hayat
Yoktun düştüğümde
Gb
Çalmadı kapım hiç
Ab Bbm
Bekle bekle yok kimse
Bbm
Bekle bekle yok kimsem
Kavgalarla geçti zaman
Sonum neydi bilmem ben
Giderken bu evden
Ab Gb
Bir yolum yok, bir yanım boş
Umudum ol
Bbm
Daha değil gitme baba
Silinmez aklımdan
Yazık etme bana
Ab
Elimi tuut
Kalk uyan o mezardan
Gb
Ölemezsin baba
Ab
Büyümedim hala
Bbm
Uyan
Bbm
Yürüdüm, yürüdüm
Olmasın istemem hiç birşey
Ab
Bana babamı geri verin
Büyüdüm savaşa savaşa hep
Gb
Düşün düşün hayat ölüme meyil
Bir yanım karanlık gecesine
Bbm
Dert oluyor millete mert
Bbm
Gidemem yenilip anla
Bir kardeşim var bir anam
Bir karış evde karnımız tok
Bugünde yanıyorsa sobam
Ab
İçimde büyük bir yara bırak
Gb
Kimse anlamaz halimi baba
Gel kapımı çal, bir daha sarılıcam
Bbm
Daha değil gitme baba
Silinmez aklımdan
Yazık etme bana
Ab
Elimi tuut
Kalk uyan o mezardan

Ölemezsin baba

Büyümedim hala

Harmony analysis
Ayaz Erdoğan – Baba x Mengelez: 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.
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 17 times while Db never appears. 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.

Analysis
The key pair is Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 40 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
- Ab Bbm DbV → videceptive cadence BbmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- Gb Ab DbIV → VIV → V BbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
- Gb Bbm DbIV → vi BbmVI → iVI → i ×4
- Fm Bbm Dbiii → vi Bbmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1
The move to watch is Ab → Bbm, heard 4 times. From the Bbm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Db side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Db, lands on Bbm). 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 Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — 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. The backbone is Bbm, Ab, Gb, Fm — vi–V–IV–iii from the Db side, i–VII–VI–v from the Bbm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Bbm (V → vi in Db, VII → i in Bbm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Bbm, the song seals Bbm as home.
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.
