Lyrics and translation Sebnem Tovuzlu - Balam

Balam

Bir gun yuva quracagam
Bir gun ana olacagam
Gulmesede sensiz uzum
Olacagdir oglum qizim
Bagrima basib balami
Doya doya qoxlayacam
Menden layla isteseler
Bu negmeni oxuyacagam yar
Deyecemki Qovuwmaga qoymadilar bizleri
Ayrilarken bulut kimi dolmuw idi gozleri
Deyecemki Dag ucsaydi bukulmezdi dizleri
Ayriliq bukdu belimi Aldi elimden elini
Ayriliq bukdu belimi Aldi elimden elini
Bir n yuva quracaga
Bir gun ana olacagam
Gulmesede sensiz uzum
Olacagdir oglum qizim
Bagrima basib balami
Doyadoya qoxlayacam
Menden lay lay isteseler
Bu negmeni oxuyacagam
Deyecemki Qovuwmaga qoymadilar bizleri
Ayrilarken bulut kimi dolmuw idi gozleri
Deyecemki Dag ucsaydi bukulmezdi dizleri
Ayriliq bukdu belimi Aldi elimden elini
Ayriliq bukdu belimi Aldi elimden elini

Little Boy

One day I will build a nest
One day I will become a mother
Even if you don't smile without you, my grape
I will have a son and a daughter
Pressing my little boy to my bosom,
I will sniff him to my heart's content
If they ask me for a lullaby,
I will sing this melody, my darling
I will say, they wouldn't let us go,
When we parted, her eyes were filled with tears like clouds
I will say, if the mountain had risen, her knees wouldn't have buckled
Separation bent my back, it took her hand from mine
Separation bent my back, it took her hand from mine
One day I will build a nest
One day I will become a mother
Even if you don't smile without you, my grape
I will have a son and a daughter
Pressing my little boy to my bosom,
I will sniff him to my heart's content
If they ask me for a lay lay,
I will sing this melody
I will say, they wouldn't let us go,
When we parted, her eyes were filled with tears like clouds
I will say, if the mountain had risen, her knees wouldn't have buckled
Separation bent my back, it took her hand from mine
Separation bent my back, it took her hand from mine
