Lyrics:
Dandini dandini danalı bebek
Mini mini elleri kınalı bebek
Annesi babası çok sever
Uyur büyür nazlı bebek
Huuu huuu huuu hu

Dandini dandini dastana
Danalar girmiş bostana
Kov bostancı danayı
Yemesin lahanayı
Huuu huuu huuu hu

Dandini dandini danadan
Bir ay doğmuş anadan
Kaçınmamış yaradan
Mevlam korusun nazardan
Huuu huuu huuu hu

English Translation:
Dandini dandini danali baby
Baby with tiny little henna hands
His parents love him
The coy baby sleeps and grows.

Dandini dandini dastana
The cattle entered the garden
Gardener, banish the cattle
Do not let them eat all the cabbages.

Dandini dandini danadan
A moon was born from a mother's womb
Spared from all harm
Protected from the evil eye.
