O Leyli [English translation]

Let us listen to lamentations on mountains

What said my beautiful lover, o leyli leyli*

Let us both sit knee by knee

Let us say "hu", o leyli leyli

The fate has flicked it lighter on me

Left me with an incurable suffering

My body has let itself in fire

I burned with its flames, o leyli leyli

The fate has shaped its lighter as a hook

I say "Let me go to my loved one", the obstacles won't let me

If I die, my lover, come onto me*

Wash my grave with your tears, leyli leyli

The word of Lord is always on our tongues

Stop by your friends, greet them

If they ask my name, tell them it is Emrah

Always on our minds, o leyli leyli
