Dm Gm A
Bağrımda durmadan öten dertli bülbülün
Dm Gm A
Mecali kalmadı artık, sustu
Dm Gm A
Yoruldu kalbi donmuşun gölgesinde
Dm Gm A
Büküp boynunu bir anda, durdu
Dm Gm F Em7b5
Götürsem türlü bağlara el değmemiş güllere
Dm Gm F Em7b5 A
Üstünde soluklansa erişebilse ümidine yine
Dm Bb Dm
Bazan düşüremez insan kalbin ateşini
Bb Gm
Bazan yükseliyo candan aşıp nefesimi
Dm Am Dm
Bulursan bana söyle, niye böyle alev her yanım?
C Bb Gm Dm
Bu da geçer de, hepsi geçti, kaç kere söndü yangının
Dm Gm A
Sandıkların en altına saklı sırları

Ne affettim ne unuttum, sustum

Ağrımda benle bekliyor yalnız çocuk

Uzandı kırgın elinden tuttum

Götürsem türlü bağlara el değmemiş güllere

Üstünde soluklansa fısıldasam kulağına 'dayan'

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it both starts and finishes on Dm, Dm is heard 22 times against 4 for F and the major V chord points straight at Dm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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.

The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 8 different chords appear 66 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm.
The move to watch is A → Dm, heard 10 times. From the Dm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the F side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Dm, Gm, A, Bb; read them as vi–ii–V/vi–IV in F or i–iv–V–VI in Dm. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on A → Dm (V/vi → vi in F, V → i in Dm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on Dm, the song seals Dm as home.
