LYRICS & TRANSLATION

İşte opera, heyecan fırtınası
Coşar ruhumda, duyarım sönmez o aşkı
Baleli aşk dolu, müzikli oyunlar
Uvertür, trio, duetto, korolar
Saraydan kız kaçırma, ölmez La Traviata
Opera, opera, opera, opera, opera
Opera, opera, opera, opera, Carmen, Aida
Opera, opera, bu gece operalarda
Tosca, Figaro, Fidelio var, coşkun aryalar
Lay lay la lay lay lay la lay la lay…
(Opera, opera, opera, opera, opera)
Lay lay la lay lay lay la lay la lay…
(Opera, opera, opera, opera), Carmen, Aida
Opera, opera, bu gece operalarda
Tosca, Figaro, Fidelio var, coşkun aryalar
İşte opera, Wagner ve Puccini
Mozart, Rossini, Verdi'nin ölmez eseri
Baleli aşk dolu, müzikli oyunlar
Uvertür, trio, duetto, korolar
Saraydan kız kaçırma, ölmez La Traviata
Ölmez aѕlа
