Allilah [English translation]

Allilah

Allilah is the name of this girl

And in her eyes I can see my Azerbaijan

Her father told me to go down to the valleys

Her eyes were chasing me seven years

Even today when I'm alone I still

Remember that they stayed somewhere there

I carry anxiety deep in my heart

I can't forget those moments

When first time dazzled by the light of her eyes

I felt their warmth at the bottom of my soul

High in the mountains, an old aul1 is sleeping

In dark lakes, the moon is sleeping with it

But I will take its silver sickle out of the depths

I will bring it to the girl when this day will come

Allilah, I'm waiting at the crossroads

I will come back for sure if God helps me

I will saddle wind and unerringly I will get to the place

Where Allilah's eyes and Azerbaijan are

Allilah
