Şalik Şînokê & Mayro (Mother)
Two brave young women sing,
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
Their hearts are full of songs,
Beautiful beloved, cheerful and shining, shining Mayro,
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
Beautiful beloved, cheerful and shining, shining Mayro.
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf.
The blue shawl, I put it over myself,
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
The black shawl with Hamudi’s name on it,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf,
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf.
The rivers sing your name,
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
The flowers bloom with your light,
Beautiful beloved, cheerful and shining, shining Mayro,
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
Beautiful beloved, cheerful and shining, shining Mayro.
I entered the house of Prince Qezer,
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
I entered the festival of Prince Qezer,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf.
I found a treasure there, a true treasure,
A treasure of a hundred pure gold coins,
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf.
The girl comes like the wind,
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
Regretting placing her own worn shawl,
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
Her heart sighs and dreams,
Beautiful beloved, cheerful and shining, shining Mayro,
The value of the shawl is like a hundred strands of gold,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf.
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
I sway and sway, my little blue shawl,
Leylim le le leylim le le, le le le Mayro,
I sway and sway, my little young girl’s scarf.
Cheerful Mayro,
Little young girl’s scarf.
