Bir Zamanlar Deli Gönlüm

Sezen Aksu · Firuze [1982]

Ele avuca sıÄŸmazdı deli gönlüm

Bir zamanlar neredeydi ÅŸimdi nerde

İster güneÅŸ ol yak beni yaÄŸmurum ol at beni

Aklım baÅŸka duygularım baÅŸka yerde

Bir deli rüzgar savurdu beni böyle

Umutluk tutsak benim altın kafeste

İster güneÅŸ ol yak beni yaÄŸmurum ol at beni

Zincirledi yüreÄŸimi artık sende

Yok aÄŸlatmaz asla beni bir gün ayrılık

PiÅŸmanlıÄŸım nefret olmaz öfke olmaz

Senden daha güçlü bir hasret bulunmaz

İster güneÅŸ ol yak beni yaÄŸmurum ol at beni

Acılarla sevinçlerle yaÅŸat beni
