Sakiya mey sun ki bir gün lalezar elden gider
O cupbearer! Present me wine. One day tulip garden will go out of hand.
Sakiya mey sun ki bir gün lalezar elden gider Erişir fasl-ı hazan bağ-u bahar elden gider.
O cupbearer! Present me wine. One day tulip garden will go out of hand.
Fall season will reach, vineyard of spring will go out of hand.
Her nice Zühd-ü salaha mail olur hatırım Gördüğümce ol nigarı ihtiyar elden gider.
Whenever my mind is willing for worshipping and peace,
When I see that beautiful, my will goes out of hand.
Şöyle hak oldum ki, ah etmeye havf eyler gönül Lacerem bad-ı saba ile gubar elden gider.
I have become earth, my heart is even afraid of sighing
Without doubt, with the morning wind dust will go out of hand. Gırre olma dilbera hüsnü cemale kıl vefa Baki kalmaz kimseye nakşünigar elden gider.
O beloved! Dont be proud of your beauty. Be faithful!
Because beauty will not last forever, it will go out of hand. Yar içün ağyar ile merdane ceng etsem gerek İt gibi murdar rakib ölmezse yar elden gider.
I must fight bravely with the rivals for the beloved.
If dog like rival doesnt die, bloved will go out of hand
