Erzurum çarşı pazar
leylim aman aman
leylim aman aman
Sarı gelin
İçinde bir kız gezer
oy nenen ölsün
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Suna yarim
Elinde divit kalem
leylim aman aman
leylim aman aman
Sarı gelin
Dertlere derman yazar
oy nenen ölsün
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Suna yarim
(bis)
Erzurumda bir kuş var
leylim aman aman
leylim aman aman
Sarı gelin
Kanadında gümüş var
oy nenen ölsün
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Suna yarim
Yarim gitti gelmedi
leylim aman aman
leylim aman aman
Sarı gelin
Elbet bunda bir iş var
oy nenen ölsün
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Sarı gelin aman
Suna yarim
(bis)

Sari Gelin is a folk song of Azerbaijan. It has many different lyrical interpretations in many languages, but the melody remains unchanged. Whether the name "Sarı Gelin" refers to a blonde bride, a girl/bride of the mountains, "daughter of the sun" or simply a bride in yellow garments is unknown, since the history and precise origin of many songs, originally belonging to oral folk traditions, are difficult to determine.
A controversial documentary with the same title as the song was distributed in Azerbaijan schools which shows the official Azeri version of the Armenian Genocide .
Sarı is an adjective and is often simply translated as "yellow". However, it can also mean "fair-skinned" and/or "blonde". Gelin is a noun with the meaning of "bride" or "maiden" which is still used in modern Azeri.
Lyrics meaning:
You don't braid the end of your hair,
They will not let me marry you.
I wish I had the chance to see
The face of my beloved
Oh, what can I do?
Oh, what can I do?
Golden Bride
