Ah Neyleyim Gönül Lyrics
Müslüm Gürses
Lyrics
Âh neyleyim gönül (gönül) senin elinden
Her zaman ağlarım gülemem gayrı (oy)
Ben bıktım usandım elin dilinden (oy)
Terkettim sılayı dönemem gayrı
Ben bıktım usandım elin dilinden (oy)
Terkettim sılayı dönemem gayrı
Gönül ben sırrına eremedim ki
Gonca gonca güller deremedim ki (oy)
Arz'eyledim yâri göremedim ki (oy)
Aylar yıllar geçti göremem gayrı
Ey Ferrâhî yandım yandım yâr ataşına
Neler gelir gariplerin başına (oy)
Ağlaya ağlaya gelme mezar taşıma (oy)
Uyanıp da sana gülemem gayrı.
