Lyrics[]
O bir gün, giderse, gene seni, gene seni üzerse
O bir gün, giderse, gene seni, gene seni üzerse
(Ha ha ha ha ha… ha ha…)
Bir ömür böyle geçmez, ayrılık yar olursa
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Yapamazsın, ay ay ay ay ay…
Yapamazsın, ay ay ay…
Gelirse, üzerse, giderse, dönerse, severse
Gelirse, üzerse, giderse, dönerse, severse
Gelirse, üzerse, giderse, dönerse, severse
Ya bir gün giderse, gene seni, gene seni üzerse
Ya bir gün giderse, gene seni, gene seni üzerse
(Ha ha ha ha ha… ha ha…)
Bu sefer aldanmam ben, ayrılıktan korkmam ben
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Yapamazsın, ay ay ay ay ay…
Yapamazsın, ay ay ay…
Gelirse, üzerse, giderse, dönerse, severse
Gelirse, üzerse, giderse, dönerse, severse
Gelirse, üzerse, giderse, dönerse, severse
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Yapamazsın, ay ay ay ay ay…
Yapamazsın, ay ay ay…
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bana (Olur mu?), bana bana (olur mu?)
Bana bunu, bana bunu, bana bana
If one day he comes back, if he annoys you again
If one day he comes back, if he annoys you again
(Ha ha ha ha ha… ha ha…)
Life cannot go on like this, should separation be this way
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
You can’t do this, ay ay ay ay ay…
You can’t do this, ay ay ay…
If he comes, if he annoys you, if he goes, if he returns, if he loves you
If he comes, if he annoys you, if he goes, if he returns, if he loves you
If he comes, if he annoys you, if he goes, if he returns, if he loves you
If one day he comes back, if he annoys you again
If one day he comes back, if he annoys you again
(Ha ha ha ha ha… ha ha…)
This time I won’t take it, I’m not afraid of separation
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
You can’t do this, ay ay ay ay ay…
You can’t do this, ay ay ay…
If he comes, if he annoys you, if he goes, if he returns, if he loves you
If he comes, if he annoys you, if he goes, if he returns, if he loves you
If he comes, if he annoys you, if he goes, if he returns, if he loves you
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
You can’t do this, ay ay ay ay ay…
You can’t do this, ay ay ay…
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me (is that so?)
To me, to me (Is that so?), to me, to me (is that so?)
To me this, to me this, to me, to me
