Mazlum Çimen -

Yar Sarsa Beni

[If my beloved will embrace me]

Gökyüzünde tüten olsam

If I'll be a smoke in the sky

Yeryüzünde biten olsam

If I'll be growing on the ground

Al benekli keten olsam

If I'll be a scarlet spotty flax

Yâr boynuna sarsa beni

If my beloved will wrap herself with me

 

 

Yâr kolunda burma olsam

If I'll be tangled in hands of my beloved

Yedikleri hurma olsam

If I'll be a fruit she eats

Alçım alçım sürme olsam

If I'll be a hair dye

Yâr kaşına sürse beni

If my belove will color her eyebrows with me

 

 

Karac'oğlan uşak olsam

If I'll be a great poet

Yâr belinde kuşak olsam

If I'll be a belt on the waist of my beloved

Bir atlastan döşek olsam

If I'll be an atlas matress

Yâr altına serse beni

If my beloved will stretch herself on me
