Lyrics and translation Zulfu Livaneli - Leylim Ley




Leylim Ley
Leylim Ley
Döndüm daldan kopan kuru yaprağa
I have turned into a withered leaf that has fallen from the branch
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Seher yeli dağıt beni, kır beni
Carry me away, scatter me, break me, morning wind
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Götür tozlarımı buradan uzağa
Take my dust from here far away
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Yarin çıplak ayağına sür beni
Have my beloved rub me on her bare feet
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Leylim ley, leylim ley
My Leylim, my Leylim
Leylim ley, leylim ley
My Leylim, my Leylim
Ayın şavkı vurur sazım üstüne
The moon's radiance strikes my musical instrument
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Söz söyleyen yoktur sözüm üstüne
There is no one whose words surpass mine
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Gel ey hilal kaşlım dizim üstüne
Come my love, with your moon-shaped eyebrows, to my side
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Ay bir yandan sen bir yandan sar beni
The moon embraces me on one side, and you on the other
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Leylim ley, leylim ley
My Leylim, my Leylim
Leylim ley, leylim ley
My Leylim, my Leylim
Yedi yıldır uğramadm yurduma
I haven't visited my homeland for seven years
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Dert ortağı aramadım derdime
I haven't searched for a companion to share my sorrow
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Geleceksen bir gün düşüp ardıma
If you'll come one day, falling behind me
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Kula değil, yüreğine sor beni
Don't listen to others, but ask your heart about me
Leylim ley
My Leylim
Leylim ley, leylim ley
My Leylim, my Leylim
Leylim ley, leylim ley
My Leylim, my Leylim
