| Döndüm daldan kopan kuru yaprağa, leylim ley
| I turned to the dry leaf that fell from the branch, my leym ley
|
| Seher yeli dağıt beni, kır beni, leylim ley
| The morning wind scatter me, break me, my lady, my lady
|
| Götür tozlarımı buradan uzağa, leylim ley
| Take my dust away from here, ley, ley
|
| Yarin çıplak ayağına sür beni, leylim ley
| Rub me on your bare feet tomorrow, my lady, my lady
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Ayın şavkı vurur sazım üstüne, leylim ley
| The moon's spark hits my saz, my leym ley
|
| Söz söyleyen yoktur sözüm üstüne, leylim ley
| There is no one who speaks on my word, my leym ley
|
| Gel ey hilal kaşlım dizim üstüne, leylim ley
| Come on, my crescent eyebrow, on my knee, my leym ley
|
| Ay bir yandan sen bir yandan sar beni, leylim ley
| Moon on one hand, you on the other hand, hug me
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley
| my lei ley
|
| Yedi yıldır uğramadım yurduma, leylim ley
| I haven't been to my country for seven years, my leym ley
|
| Dert ortağı aramadım derdime, leylim ley
| I didn't look for a partner in my trouble, my lady, my lady
|
| Geleceksen bir gün düşüp ardıma, leylim ley
| If you will come one day, fall behind me, my lady, my lady
|
| Kula değil, yüreğine sor beni, leylim ley
| Ask your heart, not your servant, my lady, my lady
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley
| my ley, ley, ley, ley
|
| Leylim ley, leylim ley | my ley, ley, ley, ley |
