Lyrics

Instrumental

Verse 1

Yabandan gel kara gözlüm, yabandan

Yollar adınla yanar duman duman

Bir bakışın yeter ömrüme ferman

Söyle, bu gönül düşsün bu sevdadan

Refrain

Ahh

Kara gözlüm, geceye benzer

Adın düşer, kalbim titrer

Bir adım sen, bir ömür ben

Ayrılık bize haramdır

Instrumental

Verse 2

Dağlar aramıza perde mi oldu

Rüzgâr mı sözümü sana yordu

Bir mendil salladın, kader durdu

O an yazıldı bu sevda

Refrain

Ahh

Kara gözlüm, çölde serap

Sesin düşer, içim harap

Bir bakışın yeter bana

Gerisi dert, gerisi laf

Verse 3

Ay doğar, gölgem uzun kalır

Adını anmam dile ağır

Sevda dediğin ateş alır

Yakar da kül etmez insanı

Final Refrain

Ahh

Kara gözlüm, vakit dar

Yol uzun, geceler var

Gel de bitsin bu bekleyiş

Sevda beklemez, çağırır
