Fm
Müphem bi’ gül açar içimde ah
Ebm              Fm
Ne pembedir ne özgür

Yalancı bir bahar mı bu gördüğüm
Ebm               Fm
Şüphem büyür de büyür

Dbmaj7
Bakma öyle yabancılar gibi
Ebm
Sesin ayazken içim üşür
Dbmaj7
Ne korkular azâd ettim be canım
Ebm                        Fm
Soyun sen de, biraz beni düşün

Fm
Göremezler canım, göremezler

Sende benim gördüğümü
Ebm
Onlar bi’ yudum nefesler

Aşkım yalan değil, ne de hevesten
           
Çok bekledim bunu inan
Gb      Ebm   Fm
Aç bana yüreğini

Fm
Göremezler canım göremezler

Sende benim gördüğümü
Ebm
Onlar sığ nefesler

Aşkım ne yabana ne de hevesten

Çok bekledim bunu inan 
Gb      Ebm
Aç bana yüreğini
Gb       Ebm      Fm
Ver bana dileğimi ver

Fm
Sitem değil inan ki bu sözlerim
Ebm             Fm
Zamanla soldu düşüm

Ağardı genç yaşımda saçlarım
Ebm                Fm
Bahar ol bir çiy düşür

Harmony analysis

Mabel Matiz – Müphem: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Fm and ends on Fm. Its chords belong to both Db major and Bbm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Db major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

Bb minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

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

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Db major side because Db is heard 2 times while Bbm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from Bb minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 38 times in total; 4 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

There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.

Improvisation tips

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

The song's harmonic story

The opening Fm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Ebm, Fm, Gb, Dbmaj7 — ii–iii–IV–Imaj7 from the Db side, iv–v–VI–IIImaj7 from the Bbm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Ending on Fm, the song seals Db 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.
