Paroles et traduction Zulfu Livaneli - Leylim Ley

Leylim Ley

Döndüm daldan kopan kuru yaprağa
Leylim ley
Seher yeli dağıt beni, kır beni
Leylim ley
Götür tozlarımı buradan uzağa
Leylim ley
Yarin çıplak ayağına sür beni
Leylim ley

Leylim ley, leylim ley
Leylim ley, leylim ley

Ayın şavkı vurur sazım üstüne
Leylim ley
Söz söyleyen yoktur sözüm üstüne
Leylim ley
Gel ey hilal kaşlım dizim üstüne
Leylim ley
Ay bir yandan sen bir yandan sar beni
Leylim ley

Leylim ley, leylim ley
Leylim ley, leylim ley

Yedi yıldır uğramadm yurduma
Leylim ley
Dert ortağı aramadım derdime
Leylim ley
Geleceksen bir gün düşüp ardıma
Leylim ley
Kula değil, yüreğine sor beni
Leylim ley

Leylim ley, leylim ley
Leylim ley, leylim ley

Leylim Ley

I have turned into a withered leaf that has fallen from the branch
My Leylim
Carry me away, scatter me, break me, morning wind
My Leylim
Take my dust from here far away
My Leylim
Have my beloved rub me on her bare feet
My Leylim

My Leylim, my Leylim
My Leylim, my Leylim

The moon's radiance strikes my musical instrument
My Leylim
There is no one whose words surpass mine
My Leylim
Come my love, with your moon-shaped eyebrows, to my side
My Leylim
The moon embraces me on one side, and you on the other
My Leylim

My Leylim, my Leylim
My Leylim, my Leylim

I haven't visited my homeland for seven years
My Leylim
I haven't searched for a companion to share my sorrow
My Leylim
If you'll come one day, falling behind me
My Leylim
Don't listen to others, but ask your heart about me
My Leylim

My Leylim, my Leylim
My Leylim, my Leylim
