Текст и перевод песни Sertab Erener - Lal

Lal

Bir bulut olsam, yüklenip yaðsam
Dökülsem damla damla topraðýma
Bir deli nehir, bir asi rüzgâr
Olup kavuþsam üzüm baðlarýna
Bir çið tanesi, bülbülün çilesi
Annemin sesiyle güne uyansam
Radyoda yanýk, içli bir keman
Aðlasa nihavend acemaþiran.
Bir turna olsam, yollara vursam
Uçabilsem kendi semalarýma
Bir seher vakti, sýlaya varsam
Selam versem, ah sýradaðlarýna
Komþunun kýzý, çoban yýldýzý
Yaz bahçeleri yeþil mor kýrmýzý
Ah þiþede lâ'l, hem de ay hilâl
Bir daha da görmedim öyle yazý.

Lal

If I were a cloud, I would rain down on you
Falling drop by drop to your earth
A mad river, a rebellious wind
I would join the vineyards
A dewdrop, the nightingale's pain
I would wake up to my mother's voice
A plaintive, soulful violin on the radio
Weeping nihavend acemasiran.
If I were a crane, I would take to the roads
I would fly to my own skies
One dawn, I would return home
And greet my dear mountains
The girl next door, the shepherd's star
Green, purple, and crimson summer gardens
Ah, ruby in a bottle, and a crescent moon
I've never seen another summer like it.
