Azeri/Turkish:[]

Sachin oojin hormezler,
guli sooli dermezler,
Sari Gelin.
Boo seevda ne seevdadir,
seni mene veermezler;
neeynim aman, aman,
Sari Gelin.
Boo derenin oozini,
choban ghaytar ghoozini,
Sari Gelin.
ne ola bir gun gorem,
nazli yarin uzini;
neeynim aman, aman,
Sari Gelin.
Gun ola men bir goreydim
Nazli yarimin uzini
Neeynim aman, aman
Sari Gelin.
