Acının tutanakçısıyım

Acının tutanakçısıyım
Anlatıp dururum aşkları
Ayrılıkları ve o destan
Yalnızlığını ömrümüzün

Göçebe, Gezgin ve Aylak
Birmiydim aklıma gelmedi 
ir çingeneyle bir bilici
Hep ayni şeydi bildiğim

Ve serseriliğimdi aşklar
Bir masalcıydım belki de
Yaşadım o büyük serüvenleri
Yolculuklar tarihimdi benim

Acılar yaşanıyordu yurdumda
Pespese yakılıyordu kentler
Bense hep oralardaydım
Daha yangın başlamadan önce
