SHEVKO
Oh…whose
rose is she coming?
She burnt
me
Rose of
Mardin from Savur
Oh my
efficiently clever
darling
Oh..
my
lover Þevko
(Refrain)
I wish I
were rose to crush me
Filter me
through your muslin
Become
pencil let me be paper
Write my
name on your white
necklace
(Refrain)
Oh… it is
fish that swims
It is
partridge that flys
If the
girl is disloyal
Her lover
will wander as
a
mad
one.
(Refrain)
SABIHA
I pulled
a string from Mardin
I am in
trouble and pained of
love

my my darling Sabiha
As water
of Babýssour (Savur
gate)
My eyes
drop tears
Le ..le..
my my darling Sabiha
There is
a shoulder belt on her
neck
She
carries jug on her
shoulder
Le ..le..
my my darling Sabiha
There is
a shoulder belt on her
neck
She
carries jug on her
shoulder
Le ..le..
my my darling Sabiha
I
sacrificed two animals
At the
stake of Sultan Þeyhmus
HENNA
There is
no justice in your heart

Between
Estel and Midyat, the

WANDERING ABOUT
I wander
about you let me be your
slave
Let me be
your sprouted rose in
the garden
I love
you very much let me be
your slave
Come to

Fill the
glass for us to drink
Let’s
wander thus this year

the water flows into
lakes
Let me
sacrifice for your
pleasant remarks
I love
you very much I can’t
allow you to be lover of
others
(Refrain)
A COQUETTISH
ONE
A moon
rised up on opposite
side
Darling
on the roof looks at me
Please
come and pass by me
You make
me stupid
Your eyes
look like almond seed.
Hey my
heart joy a coquettish
darling
The tears
shedding from my eyes
As if
they were pearl ones
These,
the roses of Mardin
Their
nightingales sing, my
coquettish darling
The
beautiful girls of
Mardin
Are more
valuable than the world
goods
BRIDE
This is
the night of wedding
The joy
of all us
Let
singles find their
fortune
Let the
severe tongue-lashing
sound
The
bracelets are on her
arms
She has
rose at her hand
Here, the
bride is going out
Her
mother cries after her
Attach
rose to her bridal veil
And her
cheek
Those who
don’t like her
Become
sacrificed for her nail
MY
SWARTHY DARLING
If only I
were a partridge,
Settled
on her branches
And I
asked coming passenger
about your news
Hey,my
swarthy darling
My
beloved one
You have
black eyes
You made
me mad
I go,
don’t cry
Don’t
wear the black clothes
Give me a
string of your hair
It will
be medicine for my
wound
ARE YOUR
EYELASHES ARROWS
Are your
eyelashes arrows?
The
prettiest land Mardin
You
penetrate my heart
Are your
eyes suns?
The
prettiest land Mardin
You
burn my heart
My
darling! Look at the
roses
The
nightingale is jealous
of you
Don’t
look at my laughing face
My heart
is weeping, the
prettiest land Mardin
SABIHA
THE ROSE OF MARDIN
Sabiha is
Mardin rose, the rose of
nightingale.
She wore
a red skirt looking like
a white one.
Refrain
I wish I
were a flying
nightingale and settled
on your
glass,
And asked
my nightingale in Mardin
about Sabiha
Refrain
Sabiha!
Wait for me, they don’t
understand who love
If you
looked at my tear what
would I give you?my
darling
Refrain
I sent
you a letter, I didn’t
get its response from
you
I am
afraid to die for your
passion, Sabiha my
pride]Refrain
THE
SPRING CAME THE ROSE
SPROUTED
The
spring came, the rose
sprouted
The
nightingale flied out of
nest
This my
needy heart
Got me
into trouble
The
spring time passed
A
beautiful girl looked at
me and passed
She
attended to go
She burnt
my heart
These
mountains piece to
piece
Remedy
can’t be found for
passion
I don’
stay here, I go
I will go
there for that darling]
