Şiliya Usari

Guli nayê veciyay
Gulê bınê vare
Şiliye nao varena
Şiliya usari

Ez teyna mendo, bıne bonê kanide
Bê zerya mı yake, çêberê qelbê mı

Hêywax hêywax hêy…
Gulê bınê vare şiliye nao varena
To rê berbeno
To rê naleno
Zê pepugê çoli

Tı roştiya, çımanê mı na
Kemera Spiye ser, venga to dano
Şiliye nao varena...

Spring Rain
Snowdrop blossomed, the rose under the snow,
Look, it’s raining,
The spring rain.

I’m all alone under the old roof
Come here my love, open the door of my heart.

Oh dear,
The rose under the snow,
The spring rain drops.
I cry for you,
I moan for you.
Like Pepûk* in the desert...

You are my light,
My two eyes.
Give out a sound from the White Stone**
Look, it’s raining...
