Yalghuz Tuyun, that piece of stone, became a fortress
Sixty-six children were scythed down like corn
Where their graves were laid the angels raised their hands. [and blessed them]

I am far from my homeland and the sky is grey
The moon is good, the sun is good, to be a wanderer is bad
I am a wanderer, the prince of wanderers
I cannot bear this wandering, my face is sallow.

When my darling drinks alcohol
I am her fresh tea
We talk to each other
I drive away her sorrows.
(4)
My darling is my life
My darling wants my life
She is not allowed to go out
Poor darling.
(5)
A fierce tiger lies in the road, the lions cannot pass
One who is cursed by his father and mother will not prosper
Friends, gentlemen, kings
Let´s go there, won´t you come you kings and gentlemen?
Three rows of two buttons, doesn´t that make six?
For six months I have pursued you, was it in vain?
Friends and gentlemen, kings and gentlemen
Let´s go there, won´t you come you friends?

All kinds of trouble come down on a boy´s head
The water-wheel in the valley is turned by the tears that flow from his eyes
Darling, oh my darling
Give your heart to your boy, my girl is my life
Come play with the spring buds, my life
(7)
I hear others say you cannot come, my darling
Where are you are, in the garden, do not die my darling
Darling, oh my darling
Give your heart to your boy, my girl is my life
Come play with the spring buds, my life.

Don´t say, my eyebrows are black
Don´t be proud of your eyebrows
Don´t say, it´s all my fortune
Don´t be proud of your fortune
My life, my love, the lady in the flowered dress
Very terrible suffering, your lovers are everywhere, my love.
(9)
Eyebrows cut out like a quill pen, figure like a sapling
Amidst a crowd you are like the full moon
My darling, my life, the lady in the flowered dress
Very terrible suffering, lady of the gardens and oases.

If I have my darling, my soul, allah, give me my desire
Where is my beautiful beloved friend, allah, I suffer
Tell the truth darling, my life is burned, she came late
Alas, my beloved darling.
(11)
White my arms
No luck in love
If I have luck in love
I will die with no desires
(12)
Did you see, you crowds
The river water overflowed
I am burning I told you
My darling was out of line
Alas!
(13)
The horses were released
In front of your eyes the flat plain
My soul was released
You sat there with your black eyes
Alas!
(14)
Much suffering, can I say it?
Many troubles, can I say it?
I am suffering inside
Darling, can I tell you?
(15)
A flower in her hair my darling
She forgot me, my darling.
(16)
No flower in her hair
Are there no flowers in your garden?
In your soul is there no darling?
(17)
A flower in her hair my darling
Your darling has forgotten you.
