Dağlarda kar sesi var
The sound of snow there is, by the hills,
Tavlada zar sesi var
Sound of dice there is by the backgammon (players) .
Kurban olam Şavşat’a da
May I be sacrificed for Şavşat,
İçinde yar sesi var
There in it, the sound of the beloved is.
Haydi hanım haydi canım
Howay woman, howay my soul,
Şinanay şirin yarim
Be marry! dance my sweet darling.
Zeytin yaprağı yeşil lo
The leaf of the olive (tree) is lash,
Dibinde gayfe pişir
Simmer coffee underneath it.
Benden sana yar olmaz lo
Me won't make a husband to you, nay!
Aklını başa devşir
Redound your (silly) ideas back into your head.
