Translation of the song lyrics Leylim Ley - Zerrin Özer

Leylim Ley (original)

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
Leylim ley, leylim ley
Leylim ley
Yedi yıldır uğramadım 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, leylim ley
Leylim ley, leylim ley

(translation)

I turned to the dry leaf that fell from the branch, my leym ley
The morning wind scatter me, break me, my lady, my lady
Take my dust away from here, ley, ley
Rub me on your bare feet tomorrow, my lady, my lady
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my ley, ley, ley, ley
The moon's spark hits my saz, my leym ley
There is no one who speaks on my word, my leym ley
Come on, my crescent eyebrow, on my knee, my leym ley
Moon on one hand, you on the other hand, hug me
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my lei ley
I haven't been to my country for seven years, my leym ley
I didn't look for a partner in my trouble, my lady, my lady
If you will come one day, you will fall behind me, my lady, my lady
Ask your heart, not your servant, my lady, my lady
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my ley, ley, ley, ley
my ley, ley, ley, ley
