Lyrics[]

İşte opera, heyecan fırtınası
Coşar ruhumda, duyarım sönmez o aşkı

Baleli aşk dolu, müzikli oyunlar
Uvertür, trio, duetto, korolar
Saraydan kız kaçırma, ölmez La Traviata

Opera, opera, opera, opera, opera
Opera, opera, opera, opera, Carmen, Aida
Opera, opera, bu gece operalarda
Tosca, Figaro, Fidelio var, coşkun aryalar

Lay lay lalay lay, lay lalay lalay…
(Opera, opera, opera, opera, opera)
Lay lay lalay lay, lay lalay lalay…
(Opera, opera, opera, opera) Carmen, Aida

Opera, opera, bu gece operalarda
Tosca, Figaro, Fidelio var, coşkun aryalar

İşte opera, Wagner ve Puccini
Mozart, Rossini, Verdi’nin ölmez eseri

Baleli aşk dolu, müzikli oyunlar
Uvertür, trio, duetto, korolar
Saraydan kız kaçırma, ölmez La Traviata

Ölmez asla

That’s opera, storm of excitement
I feel it so strongly, this love should never end

Ballet, with music full of love
Overture, trio, duet, choirs
The Abduction from the Seraglio, La Traviata will not die

Opera, opera, opera, opera, opera
Opera, opera, opera, opera, Carmen, Aida
Opera, opera, tonight at the opera they play
Tosca, Figaro and Fidelio, exciting arias

Lay lay la lay lay lay la lay la lay…
(Opera, opera, opera, opera, opera)
Lay lay la lay lay lay la lay la lay…
(Opera, opera, opera, opera) Carmen, Aida

Opera, opera, tonight at the opera they play
Tosca, Figaro and Fidelio, exciting arias

This is opera, Wagner and Puccini
Mozart, Rossini, the works of Verdi will remain forever

Ballet, with music full of love
Overture, trio, duet, choirs
The Abduction from the Seraglio, La Traviata will not die

Will never die
