Bak Bir Varmış Bir Yokmuş [English translation]

Once upon a time in old days

A sweet girl lived in Bosphorus

Here, one early morning tale began like this

Young man came across to young girl in the wharf

They looked each other's eyes, nodody didn't see them

But sea and wave began to play

Once upon a time in old days

A sweet girl lived in Bosphorus

Young man approached "how beautiful you are"

Beautiful girl moved away "but who are you"

I'm a male angel, let me come to your side

Let me love you with my eyes without touching

Once upon a time in old days

A sweet girl lived in Bosphorus

Can't be, my mother will angry with this so much

Put me aside, go, hang out with that, this

If you want me, send us your mother

I promise to you, I'll be her daughter-in-law

Once upon a time in old days

A sweet girl lived in Bosphorus

Young man believed in her and stretched like an arrow

He came to home and begged to his mother

Mother, run, go and take that girl to me or I'll go crazy

Or your son will die for the sake of black eyes

Mother went to there atremble

Beautiful girl opened the door with smile

She said, dame you were late, look I'm married now

I waited but you didn't come, you lost your chance

Once upon a time in old days

A sweet girl lived in Bosphorus
