Ayşem 1

Ayisem ineklerun hep karabaş karabaş
Gelir misun benumla yaylalara arkadaş
Ayiseme yan gozle kimseler bakmayacak
O yaylaya cikmadan cicekler acmayacak
Giyin kuşan ayşem gel geç bizum koylerden
Bakacagum pesune utanirum ellerden
Atun benu ateşe cayir cayir yanayim
Koyun benu mezara ayisemle uyuyayim
Evet aysem, memleketler içinde bir güzel memlekettir
Türkiye'm. Ve memleketimizde kadın olmak zor zanaat bilirim.
Sen gittikten sonra değişen pek şey yok buralarda, yine
Rahsan var yine suleyman var ve yine orumcek beyinler...
Ablam kizina senin adini verdi, seslenmeye dayanamam.ama
Sen olume yan, yan da uyan, uyan da guldugunu bestelerime
İsleyeyim kadinim... Ha! Bu arada unutmadan, bu sene de
Sampiyonluga oynuyoruz ama sen olume yan, yan da uyan, uyan
Da guldugunu bestelerime işleyeyim kadinim... kadinim...

Ayşem 1

My Ayise, your cows are always black and white
Will you come to the pastures with me, dear friend?
No one will look at Ayise with jealous eyes
The flowers will not bloom until she reaches the pasture
Dress, my Ayise, and let's pass by our village together
I will gaze upon your beauty, but I am shy before others
Throw me into the fire, let me burn brightly
Put me in the grave, let me sleep with Ayise
Yes, Aysem, Turkey is a beautiful country among many countries.
And I know that being a woman in our country is a difficult task.
Not much has changed here since you left; Rahsan is still here, Suleyman too, and the same narrow-minded people...
My sister named her daughter after you, but I cannot bear to hear her name. Yet,
You yearn for death, yearn and awaken; Awaken and weave your laughter into my melodies
My lady... Oh, by the way, don't forget that
We're going for the championship again this year, But you yearn for death, yearn and awaken,
Awaken and weave your laughter into my melodies
My woman... My woman...
