Yar ağladı [English translation]

I hugged my lover

My lover cried, I cried

All neighbors crowded

Neighbor cried, I cried

An autumn wind blew so that

My roses became windblown

When the nightingale have heard of it1

Rose thorns cried, I cried

Your words are straight from your heart, I said to Tar2

Its strings became apart

It tingled slowly

Tar cried, I cried

The mountain covered with snow

I told it about separation

It heaved a deep sigh, and covering

Snow cried, I cried

I said, yes he's mine

They sent me to the gallows

When noose broke my neck

Gallows cried, I cried

1. Oscar Wilde - The Nightingale and the Rose2. Tar is a string instrument also means string in Persian.
