Lyrics and translation Cengiz Özkan & Muharrem Temiz - Yayladan Gel

Yayladan Gel

Gelin oldun karabelin eline
Yedi bayram kına yakma eline
Kurban olam senin gibi geline
Yayladan gel, kömür gözlüm, yayladan
Kurban olam senin gibi geline
Yayladan gel, kömür gözlüm, yayladan
Senin baban karşı köyün hocası
Çok peşime düştü genci, kocası
Bana derler şu kötünün kocası
Yayladan gel, kömür gözlüm, yayladan
Bana derler şu kötünün kocası
Yayladan gel, kömür gözlüm, yayladan
Ne kadar methetsem, o kadar güzel
Top bürür saçını, gözünü süzer
Muskalar yazdıram, değmesin nazar
Yayladan gel, kömür gözlüm, yayladan
Muskalar yazdıram, değmesin nazar
Yayladan gel, kömür gözlüm, yayladan

Come from the Plateau

You became a bride and a beautiful woman
For seven feast days, henna brightened your hands
I would sacrifice myself for a bride like you
Come from the plateau, my dark-eyed one, come from the plateau
I would sacrifice myself for a bride like you
Come from the plateau, my dark-eyed one, come from the plateau
Your father is the scholar of the village across the mountains
Your young and handsome husband has pursued me relentlessly
They call me the husband of an evil woman
Come from the plateau, my dark-eyed one, come from the plateau
They call me the husband of an evil woman
Come from the plateau, my dark-eyed one, come from the plateau
No matter how much I praise you, you are even more beautiful
You wear the headdress that covers your hair and highlight your eyes
I will have amulets written to protect you from the evil eye
Come from the plateau, my dark-eyed one, come from the plateau
I will have amulets written to protect you from the evil eye
Come from the plateau, my dark-eyed one, come from the plateau
