Translation of the song lyrics Ederlezi - Purebeat, Dikanda

Ederlezi (original)

Ederlezi goran, ederlezi
Kızların ağıtlar düzerken bosna yaylalarında,
Acıya bulanmıştı şenlikleri,
Ederlezi yine gelmişti her sene geldiği gibi,
Ne bilsin burada yetim kızlar var
Bu sene ederlezi babasız kalmıştı
Yetim kızların yürekleriydi gelen.
Sarı saçları mavi gözleriyle,
Gökyüzü bile özenirdi güzelliklerine,
Deniz utanırdı mavisinden,
Cenazelere uğurlanmıştı ederlezi,
Şurada yatan kefensiz, babalarımızdı
Boşnak kızları goran'ın,
Yetimdi sarıları, yetimdi mavileri.
Ah ederlezi, niye geldin bu sene
Bilmez misin, buradaki kızlar yetim
Şurada yatan babalarımızdı, kefensiz
Yaslar bağladı sarı saçlarımız
Babasızdı mavi gözlerimiz
Ve goran, haykır yine bosna dağlarına
Ederlezi kızlarım, ederlezi

Ederlezi (translation)

Ederlezi, Goran, Ederlezi—echo of spring’s old vow,
As on Bosnia’s uplands, girls braid laments with trembling hands,
Their revels steeped in the resin of anguish,
Ederlezi returned, as tireless as the seasons’ wheel,
How could she know orphans gathered here in hush?
This year, Ederlezi stood fatherless beneath the April boughs,
It was the hearts of forsaken daughters that arrived in her stead.
With gold of hair, with eyes like fragments of vanished sky,
Even the heavens, breath held, envied such chiselled grace,
The sea, shamed to its depths, paled beside their sapphire gaze,
Ederlezi was borne away among coffins,
Those lying here, unswathed by shroud, our fathers—
Bosnian girls of Goran’s clan,
Orphaned their sun-bright tresses, orphaned their ocean irises.
Ah, Ederlezi, what drove you here this year?
Did you not know, these girls are daughters without fathers?
It is our fathers lying here unshrouded,
Mourning has woven plaits through our flaxen hair,
Our blue eyes are hollowed by the absence of fathers,
And you, Goran, let your cry ring again through Bosnia’s peaks,
Ederlezi, my daughters, Ederlezi
