Bbm           Ebm             Bbm
 Galiba yenildim senin tarafından
             Ebm               Bbm
Katilim seçilmiş en güzel kadından
              Ebm                Bbm
Bin defa vuruldum, böyle olmadım ben
                Ebm                   Bbm
Olsun, kadehler ziyan; varsın olmasın be

Gün olur, geçer vakit anam
Hep hatıralar yakar canı, kalan mıdır yanan?
Düşündüm, deli oldum gecelerce inan
Bu karanlığın göbeğinde bekliyorum şafak

Söker bir gün elbet, geçer bu da yâren
Bir kar yağsın üstümüze, örtülsün dertler
İnsan fani, sevdam benim, sevgim gerçek
Gel, hâlâ vakit varken

(Of)

Kendimle aram açık hâlâ
Bu gece sana geleyim
Kafamın içi dolu matem
Düşüyor gönlüme yaş
Kimseye kızamadım hâlâ
Aynadakinden başka
Kaderim böyleymiş madem, diyemedim

Galiba yenildim senin tarafından
Katilim seçilmiş en güzel kadından
Bin defa vuruldum, böyle olmadım ben
Olsun, kadehler ziyan; varsın olmasın be

Bir sigara yaktım bu sönmeyen yerinden
Sustum diye bitmedi içimde
Büyürken biraz ben eksildim, biraz da sen giderken
Küllerim konuştu en yaktığın yerlerinden

Gölgeyim ben artık, ışığımdan firar bana
Kurduğum bütün bu cümleler beynimde intihar
Aklımda susmuyor, kaç kez ölür insan, anla
Unutmak efsane, buna inananlar kadar

(Of)

Kendimle aram açık hâlâ
Bu gece sana geleyim
Kafamın içi dolu matem
Düşüyor gönlüme yaş
Kimseye kızamadım hâlâ
Aynadakinden başka
Kaderim böyleymiş madem, diyemedim

Harmony analysis

Velet – Galiba: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Bbm and ends on Bbm. 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 Bb minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bbm and Bbm is heard 7 times while Db never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db 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 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). 2 different chords appear 13 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

Ebm Bbm Dbii → vi Bbmiv → iminor plagal ×6

The move to watch is Ebm → Bbm, heard 6 times. From the Bbm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Db side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

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 Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Bbm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Bbm, Ebm; read them as vi–ii in Db or i–iv in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ebm → Bbm (ii → vi in Db, iv → i in Bbm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Bbm, letting the Bbm side have the last word.

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.
