Gidip gurbet eli mesken mi tuttun 
Bir selamın gelmez beni unuttun 
Gurbetten sılaya düşmez mi yolun 

Ey benim avazım ey baharım yazım 
Elimdeki sazım, ceylanım 

Geri dön geri dön nazlı ceylanım 
Hasretin yaman nasıl dayanım 

Hey dağlar maralım hey 
Hayırsız belalım hey 
Gaşı gözü garalım, ceylanım 

Ne gidenler döndü sen dönmedin

Sensiz kaç gece kaç sabah oldu 
Yokluğun ecelmiş hasretin kefenmiş 
Dönmemeye yemin mi ettin 
Ya beni de al, ya sen gel yanımda kal 
Gitme maralım 
Dön maralım dön dön ceylanım 

Ay değil yıl oldu bitir hasreti 
Aklı firar ettim yüzün görmeyeli 
Mecnuna eş tuttu gınar el beni 

Ey benim avazım ey baharım yazım 
Elimdeki sazım, ceylanım 

Geri dön geri dön nazlı ceylanım 
Hasretin yaman nasıl dayanım 

Hey dağlar maralım hey 
Hayırsız belalım hey 
Gaşı gözü garalım, ceylanım...

Did you settle in foreign place by going?
 You don't say hello, you forget about me.
 Don't [bad word] to your homeplace from foreign place?

Oh my yell, oh my spring, oh my summer.
 My saz(a stringed [bad word] (which somewhat resembles a lute)
 in my hand, my dear. [bad word] back [bad word] back, my coquettish dear.
 Your yearning(longing) is hard.
 How can I stand it?

Hey mountains, my dear hey,
 My [bad word] darling hey.
 My darling whose eyes and eyebrow are black. My dear.

The ones who are gone came back but you didn't.
 how many nights, how many mornings without you.
 Your nonexistence was a death,
 your yearning was a shroud.
 Did you swear to [bad word] back?
 Or take me with you [bad word] and stay with me.
 Don't go my dear. [bad word] back my [bad word] back my dear.

It passed one year not one month.
 Finish this yearning anymore.
 I got crazy since I haven't seen you.
 He became Mecnun.
 The people condemn me.

Oh my yell, oh my spring, oh my summer.
 My saz(a stringed [bad word] (which somewhat resembles a lute)
 in my hand, my dear. [bad word] back [bad word] back, my coquettish dear.
 Your yearning(longing) is hard.
 How can I stand it?

Hey mountains, my dear hey,
 My [bad word] darling hey.
 My darling whose eyes and eyebrow are black. My dear
