Karam
Sezen Aksu · Serçe [1978]
cesmeler yaptIrdIm suyun icmeye karam
Kavli karar ettim alIp kacmaya
Bosa kostaklanma kostak degilsin karam
cIkma pencereye zulfun tellenir
Beyaz giyme eteklerin kirlenir karam
Gelme meyhaneye adIn dillenir
Bosa kostaklanma kostak degilsin karam
Armudu dalInda pazar eyledim
KasInI gozunu uzak eyledim karam
Seksen seftaliyi hazar eyledim
YanIlIpta guz almIsIm bilemem karam
