Gide Gide Bir Söğüde Dayandım Dayandım [Ölem Ben] [English translation]

Wandering, I leaned against a wilow

I got colored to the red of the willow, bride, I got colored

I trusted to the beloved one dearly

But I trusted in vain (lit. The branches I took a hold on, gave away)

Let me die, let me die

Let me die for your tongue (means the way she sepaks sweetly)

for your tongue, bride for your tongue*

High mountains, did I do any harm to you?

I lost my beloved, secreatly I look for her, bride, I look for her

I inquire about my love by anyone who passes by

The branches I took a hold on, gave away

Let me die, let me die

Let me die for your tongue

for your tongue, bride, for your tongue

On the high mountain top I'm building a tent

In to the tent I'm scattering rose petals, bride I'm scattering rose petals

I will steal my love away and flee to the mountains

The branches I took a hold on, gave away

Let me die, let me die

Let me die for your tongue

for your tongue, bride for your tongue
