The lyrics

A part of the lyrics is as follows;

Alnımda ergenlikler

İlk aşkı müjdelermiş

Annem babam beni çok severmiş

Bir sinemanın önündeyin

Siyah beyaz bir film varmış

Annem babam beni çok severmiş

Ankaradan abim gelmiş

Evde bir bayram havası

Acnes on my forehead

Signal the first love

My mother and father love me

I am in front of a movie hall

The picture is monochrome

My mother and father love me

My elder brother has come from Ankara,

(There is) an air of joy in the home
