یارما دمیشم
منه ساز السن اونه چالیم درد و غمیم از السن
مگر من المیشم یاریم گوجالسن
مگر من المیشم یاریم گوجالسن
علی بالا باشماخلارین یاغلارام
علی بالا استونه گول باغلارام
علی بالا گئدرسن تئز قایت گل
سنه قوربان دستمال الپ اغلارام

علی بالا چینیه یاشیل اوغلان
سنه قوربان علی عجب یاراشیر اوغلان
سنه الله به دربند از گئت گل
ُسنه قوربان انام ساواشیر اوغلان
علی بالا دالان اوسته دالان وار
علی بالا دالان دا یئر سالان وار
علی بالا گئدرسن تئز قایت گل
سنه قوربان جوزه یولدا گالان وار

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rahim Shahriari's song "Ali Baba" speak to the singer's longing for his beloved friend and how much he misses him in his absence. He describes himself as the instrument, the "Saz," and his friend as the musician, the one who can play the tunes that soothe his pain and sadness. He wonders if he himself can be his friend's comfort, but immediately dismisses the thought as he believes his friend is above anything he could offer. The chorus repeats the name "Ali Baba" several times, positioning him as a symbol of hope and strength.

The verses continue to describe the greatness of Ali Baba, saying that in his presence, the singer feels like he can conquer anything. He compares Ali Baba to a tree, rooted and steadfast, and himself to a cloth that is devoted to being wrapped around his friend's hand. The second verse takes on a more fanciful tone, with references to green-eyed boys and majestic lions. The lyrics are rich with imagery and symbolism, indicating a deep admiration and respect for Ali Baba.
