HALAY
The ground shakes, friends, when it comes to halay
We are different when it comes to love
We are enthusiastic like a flood, like a blowing wind
We do not look at the wild like a hand
Let Elvan bloom, my friends. br /> Let’s call out to the seven heifers
Halay
Let everyone enjoy a place in this square
Let the drums play and have fun
Let the lovers strike the strings of the saz
Can it won’t endure your sweet tongue
Let the ties of friendship be knit together
Let’s cross those difficult mountains
Let’s give and hold hands with amorous songs
Let’s call out to seven heifers
Let’s go hand in hand with amorous songs
Let’s call out to the seven heifers
Let’s sing to the seven heifers with love songs
Let’s call out to the seven heifers
Halay
