Köroglu

Gökten Uçan Telli Turnam

Gökten uçan telli turnam
Bizim beyler yerinde mi?
Türlü tevrü cenge giren
Demirci'oğlum yerinde mi?
Leyli
Demirci'oğlum yerinde mi?

Sohbet ile saz eyleyen
Her türlü avaz eyleyen
Her mecliste naz eyleyen
Han Ayvaz'ım yerinde mi?
Oğlum
Han Ayvaz'ım yerinde mi?

Yalan koç Köroğlu'm yalan
Ülkelere saldım talan
Yar gecede hafik olan
Telli Nigar yerinde mi?
Ömrüm
Telli Nigar yerinde mi?

My Dear Crane That Flies High in the Sky

My dear crane that flies high in the sky,
Are our gentlemen at their places?
Who enters into all kinds of warfare,
Is my son, the blacksmith, at his place?
My love,
Is my son, the blacksmith, at his place?

Who plays music while chatting,
He who demonstrates his voice in every tune,
Who acts with charm at all gatherings,
Is my lord Ayvaz at his place?
My darling,
Is my lord Ayvaz at his place?

My dear Koç Köroğlu, don't tell lies,
I have raided the countries,
The one who comforts you at night,
Is Telli Nigar at her place?
My sweetheart,
Is Telli Nigar at her place?
