Paroles et traduction Selda Bağcan - Bebek Nenni

Bebek Nenni

Elma attım yuvarlandı oğul, oğul, oğul, oğul oy
Gitti beşiğe dayandı, bebek uykudan uyandı
Nenni oğul oğul, nenni yavrum yavrum
Nenni balam balam, nenni yavrum yavrum, nenni
Sana bebek diyemedim
Ak sütümden veremedim
Nenni oğul oğul, nenni yavrum yavrum
Nenni balam balam, nenni
Gelin kızlar çaydan gelcek oğul, oğul, oğul, oğul oy
Çay bulanık nerden içek, bebek öldü kefen biçek
Nenni oğul oğul, nenni balam balam
Nenni yavrum yavrum, nenni balam balam, nenni
Sana bebek diyemedim
Ak sütümden veremedim
Nenni oğul oğul, nenni balam balam
Nenni guzum guzum, nenni

Lullaby for a Baby

I threw an apple, it rolled, my son, my son, my son, my son oy
It went and leaned on the cradle, the baby woke up from sleep
Lullaby, my son, my son, lullaby, my baby, my baby
Lullaby, my child, my child, lullaby, my baby, my baby, lullaby
I could not call you a baby
I could not give you my pure milk
Lullaby, my son, my son, lullaby, my baby, my baby
Lullaby, my child, my child, lullaby
Come on girls, the tea is coming from the teahouse, my son, my son, my son, my son oy
The tea is muddy, where will we drink it, the baby is dead, cut the shroud
Lullaby, my son, my son, lullaby, my baby, my baby
Lullaby, my baby, my baby, lullaby, my baby, my baby, lullaby
I could not call you a baby
I could not give you my pure milk
Lullaby, my son, my son, lullaby, my baby, my baby
Lullaby, my lamb, my lamb, lullaby
