Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Salındı bahçeye girdi
Çiçekler selama durdu
Mor menekşe boyun eğdi
Gül kızardı hicabından
Yar ali yar, Yar ali yar

Bahçenin kapısın'açtım
Sandım ki cennete düştüm

Ben o yardan ayrı gezdim
Elin dilinden dilinden
Yar ali yar, Yar ali yar

Bahçenin kapısı güldür
Dalında öten bülbüldür
Sefil Emrah sana kuldur

Bağışla geç günahından
Yar ali yar, Yar ali yar...

Salındı bahçeye girdi
As I entered the garden, the flowers welcomed me

Çiçekler selama durdu
The flowers stood tall and greeted me

Mor menekşe boyun eğdi
The purple violet bowed its head in reverence

Gül kızardı hicabından
The rose blushed behind its veil

Yar ali yar, Yar ali yar
My love, Ali, my love

Bahçenin kapısın'açtım
I opened the garden gate

Sandım ki cennete düştüm
I felt like I had fallen into paradise

Ben o yardan ayrı gezdim
I wandered away from my beloved

Elin dilinden dilinden
As hearsay goes

Bahçenin kapısı güldür
The garden gate is like a smiling face

Dalında öten bülbüldür
On its branches sits a nightingale singing
