Diz Dize [English translation]

In front of our house, a river pours into the sea

I wish we got old, my love, with you, knee to knee1

At the branch of black fruit (cherry laurel) white flowers blossomed

No benefit from this love, seems like we've wasted all that time

I wasn't a high mountain but I was surrounded by clouds

My loved one understands me, oh, and I understand my loved one

The boat comes from far away, lost in the waves

Even before we meet, my god wrote separation for us

Don't play sorrowfully, oh my kemençe2, my heart is already wounded

What kind of a separation is this, is my fate always bad?

At the waterside of Civran, there is a harbor

Don't look at me in the eyes, I can't handle, I will cry

I wasn't a high mountain but I was surrounded by clouds

My loved one understands me, oh, and I understand my loved one

The boat comes from far away, mixed with the waves

Even before we meet, my god wrote separation for us3
