Zaman geçmez çünkü yoksun

Tek derdim olmaz olsun 
      Gm
Soldurdun gülümü 

Unutturdun dünümü

      Cm
Bugün varsın yarın yoksun 

Hep isterdim sonsuz olsun
        Gm
Unuttun mu yüzümü 

Atlattınmı hüznü 

         Cm
Yok beni senden iyide bilen 
 
Birdaha böyle hissedemem
          Gm
Düşüyorum artık yükselemem

Söyleyemem bunu kimselere 

      Cm
Allah yazmış ben silemem

Sadece bir kulum aşk dilenen
        Gm
Çık gel nefsime yenilmeden

Lütfen kendine değil bana gel 

Cm                    Gm
Aklımdan geçenleri okur gibi bakma yüzüme
Cm                        Gm
Hiçbirşey bıraktığın gibi değil, köhne, virane 

          Cm
Ver elini gel mehtaba gidelim senle bir daha 
        Gm
Yetişemedin imdadıma düşüyorum bir girdaba 
          Cm
Ver elini gel mehtaba gidelim senle bir daha 
       Gm
Meylim var intihara, bu nasıl bir Nirvana 

Cm
Allah belamı versin köpek gibi sevdim seni 

Gözetledim dönersin diye hergün evi
Gm
Bölgeden bölgeye gezip söz etmedim görev gibi

Gölgeden gölgeye güneş özetler çözümleri
Cm
Bir girdabın içinde dönüp durduk 

Kavuşamadıkça denemekten gönül yoruldu 
Gm
Sözü korkutur bakışlar ömür törpüsü 

Ölüm gülünçtür katiilim kömür gözlüdür 

Cm
Doğrular bir mermi gibi yarınlarım yorgun

Bitmeyecek birşey gibi hatıranla doldum 
Gm
Benimsin derdin bir vakit hatırlatmısın

Ne çabuk unuttuk oysa yazıklar olsun 
Cm
Korkularım yorgan gibi kollarımı örterdi 

Aşk doğuşumdan beri senin yollarını gözlerdim
Gm
Ne yaptım ki noldu sana böyle 

Nolur sonum olma doğruları söyle 

          Cm
Ver elini gel mehtaba gidelim senle bir daha 
        Gm
Yetişemedin imdadıma düşüyorum bir girdaba 
          Cm
Ver elini gel mehtaba gidelim senle bir daha 
       Gm
Meylim var intihara, bu nasıl bir Nirvana

Harmony analysis

Zen-G – Nirvana: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Cm and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Eb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = D (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Ab (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

C minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it opens on Cm and Cm is heard 14 times while Eb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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.

Analysis

The key pair is Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 2 different chords appear 28 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

Gm Cm Ebiii → vi Cmv → inatural-minor cadence ×13

The move to watch is Gm → Cm, heard 13 times. From the Cm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Eb side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Cm, Gm — vi–iii from the Eb side, i–v from the Cm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm → Cm (iii → vi in Eb, v → i in Cm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Gm, the song seals Eb as home.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
