As night begins to descend,color of sunset
fades out gradually
Then starts a kingdom in the sky
I shed tears while laughing
Moon(light) has awakened
Stars in a journey(course) of delight, burned into the black
In me, chapters of sorrow
Ah, what a heartless beloved he/she is
Let the instruments play, May them play tonight
Let Alaturka start
Master, hit on the strings of the tambour
Let songstresses sing in a cascade
Through my window fickle
lovers pass by in boats
In the sphere the splendid melody of love rings out
That was (my) fate
