Ali

Sezen Aksu · Git [1986]

Namluna dayanır yola dalarsın

DuruÅŸun bakıÅŸın yaman be Ali

BoÅŸuna tetiÄŸi ne kurcalarsın

Var daha ateÅŸe zaman be Ali

YıllanmıÅŸ bir çınar pusuluk yerin

Neredeyse gelecek beklediklerin

Var iki atlı can-ı kederin

Desene iÅŸleri duman be Ali

Onu sen büyütte söÄŸüt boyunca

Kendini ellere versin o gonca

Sözüme kanmadın vurdu uyunca

Köylündü gözünü yuman be Ali

Geldiler beklenen çiftler ormana

Duruyor iki genç ne hoÅŸ yan yana

Bir kursun kadına birde çobana

İnlesin orman be yıllarca Ali

Görünce uzanmıÅŸ yar kucaÄŸına

Boynunu dolamıÅŸ zülfü baÄŸına

KurÅŸunu kahpeye atacaÄŸına

Kendine çevirdin aman be Ali
