Lyrics and translation Müslüm Gürses - Yüce Dağ Başında

Yüce Dağ Başında

Yüce dağ başında yanar bir ışık
Düşmüşem derdine olmuşam aşık
Al buğday benizlim zülfü dolaşık
Dividim, kalemim yazarım

Böyle bir yavrunun derdi
Var bende, yar bende, var bende
Böyle bir yavrunun derdi
Var bende, yar bende, var bende

Yüce dağ başında bir top kar idim
Yağdı yağmur, güneş vurdu eridim
Evvel yarin sevgilisi ben idim
Dividim, kalemim yazarım

İşte ben gidiyorum yar hemen ağla
Dön ağla
Yan ağla

İşte ben gidiyorum yar hemen ağla
Dön ağla
Yan ağla

On a Lofty Mountaintop

A light burns on a lofty mountaintop
I've fallen in love, become smitten with its charm
Oh, my rosy-cheeked one with tangled locks
My pen and ink, I'll write of you

Such a beloved's pain
Is within me, my love, is within me
Such a beloved's pain
Is within me, my love, is within me

On a lofty mountaintop, I was a ball of snow
The rain fell, the sun shone, and I melted away
I was once my beloved's lover
My pen and ink, I'll write of you

Now, I'm leaving, my love, don't hesitate to weep
Turn and cry
Cry bitter tears

Now, I'm leaving, my love, don't hesitate to weep
Turn and cry
Cry bitter tears
