| Bu gece gel benim ol diyemem | This night I cannot bid you come and still be mine |
| Sana ben aşkımı söyleyemem | Nor can I bare to you the love that floods my breast |
| Utanırım beni öp diyemem | I blush too deep to breathe, My lady, kiss me once |
| Ele güne sorma beni yaralama | Ask not the heedless crowd, do not lay wounds on me |
| Vurma beni | Do not strike me |
| Hani o tatlı gönül çiçeğim | Where is that sweet heart-blossom, fragrant as first spring |
| Hani kanatlı beyaz meleğim | Where is my white-winged angel, bright as driven snow |
| Bu gece zevki sefa edelim | Tonight let us give rein to rapture's gilded feast |
| Şerefine vur kadehi, meze yapıp | Lift high the cup in honor, set the savor on the board |
| Harca beni | Spend me to the lees |
| Karabiberim vur kadehlere | My black pepper, strike the goblets till they sing |
| Hadi içelim, içelim her gece | Come, let us drink, and drink through every falling night |
| Zevki sefa doldu gönlüme | Delight and lavish pleasure brim now in my soul |
| Hadi içelim acıların yerine | Come, let us drink in place of all our bitter grief |
