Hani şu meşhur devran yok mu
Gün olunca dönen
O gün ne gün olur o devran ne zaman döner
Düşünmeden edemiyorum
Ya ben bi yerlerde bi yanlış yapıyorum
Ya da kol bozuk
İçine çeşitli meyveler konmuş
Hüzünlü bir kek gibiyim
Ne istiyorum ben
Ne istiyorum, ne istemiyorum aslen
Yani, hayır demem misal yan cebime koysanız
Ve siz her nerdeyseniz işte
Bizler de oradayız
Boynuzunda öküzün
Balığın sırtındayız am
Hep böyle gelmiştir de bu böyle mi gider
Belki o gün bugündür, ansızın döner

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it both starts and finishes on Am, Am is heard 19 times against 6 for C and the major V chord points straight at Am. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to C or to Am; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

The key pair is C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 7 different chords appear 71 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Am brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from C, the same E is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Am. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Dm → Am, heard 8 times. From the Am side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the C side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The opening Am lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Am, Dm, F, G — vi–ii–IV–V from the C side, i–iv–VI–VII from the Am side. E is the interesting twist: in C it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Am it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Dm → Am (ii → vi in C, iv → i in Am): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Am, the song seals Am as home.
