Gm
Dün gece yaralı küçük bir kız bulunmuş
Bb
Etrafına sarı kurdeleler sarılmış
D                        Bb
Son bi kez süslemek istemiş onu büyükler
D
Yine yasaklarıyla

Gm                   D    
Yaklaşıp yakından bakınca gördüm
    Cm            Gm             D
Yatan benim küçüklüğüm ve ben büyüdüm

Gm                      Bb 
Mevsimlik elbisemle cenaze alayını izlerken
D                    Gm   D
Geçtim meyveli ağaçlarla, mis kokan bahçelerden
Gm             D                Cm
Bir çiçek kopardım, son kez ona baktım
            Gm      D
Çiçeğimi taktım göğsüme

Gm           Cm
Kimse yeni yara açamaz artık
Gm           D
Çok canım yandı acımaz artık
Gm         Cm
Bugün düşerse yarın kalkar
Gm        D           Gm
Bu kız kendine acımaz artık

Gm
Ardımdan konuşulurken
           Bb
Fısıltılar duydum tesadüfen
D                            Gm
Sordum tanır mıydınız bu yatan kızı
D
Henüz nefes alırken
Gm                  D            Cm
Mutluluk başka kalplerde saklı sanırdık
       Gm          D
Hep yarımdık, yanıldık

Bir yol yürüdüm evimizden
A           D 
Yol büyüktü hepimizden

Ölümden, ikimizden
A            D
Ve zavallı sevgimizden
Gm                      Eb
Dün gece ufacık bi çiçek solmuş
A             D
Bugün yeniden güneş doğmuş
Gm                 Eb
Bak burada küçük bi kız ölmüş
A            D
Ruhu büyüyüp kadın olmuş

Harmony analysis

Model – Sarı Kurdeleler: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

Bb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

G minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = F (natural-minor colour)
#7 = F# (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it opens on Gm, Gm is heard 20 times against 4 for Bb and the major V chord points straight at Gm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb 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 Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 6 different chords appear 55 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Gm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Bb, the same D is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Gm. A acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

Chord movement

D Gm BbV/vi → vi GmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×13
Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×5

The move to watch is D → Gm, heard 13 times. From the Gm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Bb side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When D comes, swap the scale's F for F#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Gm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gm, D, Cm, Bb carry the song: vi–V/vi–ii–I relative to Bb, i–V–iv–III relative to Gm. D is the interesting twist: in Bb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Gm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on D → Gm (V/vi → vi in Bb, V → i in Gm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on D, letting the Bb 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.
