Sen koca dünya sanma
Buluşuruz bir anda
Belki çarşı pazarda, aa ah

Bak, ateşim başımda, yâr
Saklayamazsın benden
Ne işler çevirdiysen

Sonunda ellerin
Sonunda dillerin
Sonunda yüreğin yanacak

Ardında gözlerin
Emanet sözlerin
Yalancı yüreğin kalacak

Ben bağladım dilimi
Sustum, germe beni
Her acının sebebi
O, o biliyor, o biliyor, o biliyor

Biterse bitti, gider (bulursa)
Benden daha da güzel
Kalbim açık gelene
O biliyor, o biliyor, o biliyor

Kalbimden vuracaktın madem
Kandırıp hayallerle
Şimdi çık iş içinden, aa ah

Nasılsa niyeti iyi, dersen
Bozarım, sana sormam
Beni mecbur edersen

Sonunda ellerin
Sonunda dillerin
Sonunda yüreğin yanacak

Ardında gözlerin
Emanet sözlerin
Yalancı yüreğin kalacak

Ben bağladım dilimi
Sustum, germe beni
Her acının sebebi
O, o biliyor, o biliyor, o biliyor

Biterse bitti, gider (bulursa)
Benden daha da güzel
Kalbim açık gelene
O biliyor, o biliyor, o biliyor

Ben bağladım dilimi
Sustum, germe beni
Her acının sebebi
O, o biliyor, o biliyor, o biliyor

Biterse bitti, gider (bulursa)
Benden daha da güzel

Kalbim açık gelene
O biliyor, o biliyor, o biliyor
