Translation of the song Gelin artist Apolas Lermi
Gelin
Bride
Geyindun gideyisun
You wore (bridal dress) and you're going (to your husband)
Guzelum mendil salla
My dear, say goodbye to me
Aldiler mi sevdani
Did they destroyed your love (my eyes)?
Ağla gozlerum ağla
Cry, my eyes, just cry
Oy oy oy oy
Oy oy, oy oy
Ağla gozlerum ağla
Cry, my eyes, just cry
O siyah saçlaruni
You pleated
Ördun guzelum ördun
Your dark hairs
Gelinlukler içinde
I saw my love
Benum sevdami gordum
In the bridal dress
Oy oy oy oy
Oy oy, oy oy
Benum yarumi gordum
I saw my darling
İkbalum ikbal değil
My luck has a bad destiny
Ander kalsun gaybana*
Ah, harmfull destiny, leave me alone
Donattiler sevdami
It (destiny) equiped my love
Geturdiler meydana
It created (my misery)
Oy oy oy oy
Oy oy oy oy
Geturdiler meydana
It created (my misery)
Beyaz duvak içinde
She turned and looked at me
Döndi da bana bakti
With her white (bridal) veil
İki damla gözyaşi
Two tears (falling from my eyes)
Yureklerumi yakti
Burned my heart
Oy oy oy oy
Oy oy oy oy
Yureklerumi yakti
Set fire into my heart
